Revision Blepharoplasty by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Revision double eyelid surgery in Korea corrects cosmetic or functional problems following previous double eyelid surgery.

The goal is balanced, natural-looking eyelids that complement your facial features.
Revision Double Eyelid Surgery Korea
Revision double eyelid surgery is performed to improve the appearance or function of eyelids after a previous double eyelid procedure.
Because revision surgery involves altered anatomy and scar tissue, each procedure requires meticulous planning and individualized surgical techniques.

Every revision patient undergoes a comprehensive eyelid evaluation.
The consultation includes:
- Previous surgical history
- Scar tissue assessment
- Double eyelid crease height
- Crease symmetry
- Eyelid opening
- Skin quality

- Eye symmetry
- Facial balance
The surgical plan is customized according to the patient's concerns and previous surgical outcome.

- Creases that are too high or too low
- Multiple eyelid folds
- Loose or disappearing creases
- Asymmetry
- Overcorrected eyelids
- Undercorrected results
- Visible scarring
- Unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance
Each problem requires a different surgical approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is revision double eyelid surgery?
Revision double eyelid surgery corrects cosmetic or functional problems after previous double eyelid surgery.
Why do patients need revision surgery?
Patients may seek revision because of asymmetry, high or low creases, multiple folds, fading creases, scarring, or dissatisfaction with their previous results.
Can uneven eyelids be corrected?
Yes. Revision surgery is commonly performed to improve eyelid symmetry and create more balanced double eyelid creases.
Can a crease that is too high or too low be corrected?
Yes. Dr. Ahn Sung Min can adjust the crease height based on your anatomy and desired appearance.
Can disappearing double eyelids be restored?
Yes. If the crease has become loose or disappeared over time, revision surgery can recreate a stable, natural-looking fold.
Is revision surgery more difficult than primary surgery?
Yes. Previous surgery creates scar tissue and changes the normal anatomy, making revision procedures more technically demanding.
Can ptosis be corrected during revision surgery?
Yes. If eyelid drooping contributes to the problem, ptosis correction may be performed together with revision double eyelid surgery.
Will my eyelids look natural?
The goal is to create soft, balanced eyelid creases that harmonize with your facial features while preserving natural eye function.
How long is recovery?
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, while final results continue to refine over several months.
Can international patients receive an online consultation?
Yes. International patients may submit photographs and previous surgical information for a preliminary evaluation before visiting Korea.
How long should international patients stay in Korea?
The recommended stay depends on your surgical plan and postoperative follow-up schedule.
Can revision surgery be performed more than once?
In some cases, yes. However, every additional revision becomes more complex, making careful evaluation and surgical planning especially important.
