Revision Eyelid Surgery
Correcting failed double eyelids — loosened lines, asymmetry, too-high folds, and sausage lines rebuilt properly
Overview
Failed eyelid surgery has recognizable patterns: lines that loosened or vanished, folds set too high, visible scarring, asymmetry, or the artificial 'sausage' look. Each has a distinct cause, and DU's revision approach begins by diagnosing which one applies before choosing the correction.
Revision demands managing scar tissue from the previous surgery while creating a new, natural line — a precision task Dr. Oh handles personally. Waiting at least 3–6 months after the original surgery lets tissues soften for the safest, cleanest correction.

Revision Eyelid Surgery — FAQ
How soon after my first surgery can I revise?
Generally 3–6 months so scar tissue matures; obvious early problems can occasionally be corrected sooner after examination.
Can a too-high line really be lowered?
Yes — it involves releasing the old adhesion and reconstructing a lower line, one of revision's more complex but well-established corrections.
Will revision leave more scarring?
The old scar is typically excised within the new incision, so the final scar is single and hidden in the new fold.
My eyes look different from each other — fixable?
Asymmetry from height or fixation differences is a standard revision indication; the examination identifies which eye needs what.
