Eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enlarge small eyes, addressing issues like epicanthal folds and epicanthal folds causing small-eye syndrome. However, eyelid surgery can sometimes fail. So, what should you do if eyelid surgery fails? Doctors explain that eyelid surgery revision can now improve problems caused by failed eyelid surgery. What are the principles of eyelid surgery revision?
Principles of Eyelid Surgery Revision:
1. The revision design should be slightly lower than the horizontal line of the eyes' long axes for a more natural appearance.
2. When designing the revision, carefully consider the direction of tension and select the revision method accordingly.
3. The innermost point of the repaired epicanthal fold must not extend beyond the vertical line from the eyebrow head, otherwise the eyes will appear too close together.
4. The lacrimal pad should ideally expose no more than two-thirds of its surface; otherwise, the eyes may appear dull and lifeless.
5. Revision surgery is generally recommended at least six months after the initial epicanthoplasty procedure.
