REVISION DOUBLE EYELID SURGERY<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Revision double eyelid surgery is not uncommon. In Dr Huang’s practice, it comprises a significant part of his eyelid surgery workload. The commonest patient complaints after double eyelid surgery are unnatural looking double eyelids, asymmetric double eyelids and inadequate removal of excess skin and fat. Other less common causes of suboptimal results are one eye looking bigger than the other, unsightly scars, and upward eversion of the upper eyelid causing the eyelashes to curl up unnaturally and exposing the inside of the eyelid.<\/p>\n

What are the causes of these suboptimal results? In almost all cases, they are due to technical errors or poor surgical technique. The causes of technical errors could be inadequate training, inadequate experience, or both. Technical errors can also be caused by poor preoperative planning, inaccurate eyelid measurements, lack of attention to detail, trying to operate fast at the expense of quality, or inadequate knowledge of eyelid anatomy.<\/p>\n

Poor surgical technique refers to things like rough tissue handling, inaccurate placement of sutures, poor judgment in terms of how much tissue to remove and how to retain, lack of finesse in manipulating tissues and stitching them together, an inadequate number of sutures, and lack of meticulous wound closure. Sometimes, the poor result is due to incorrect preoperative assessment and wrong choice of procedure. For example, the patient may have needed a browlift but a double eyelid procedure was performed instead.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to correct such suboptimal results? Yes, but it is not easy, and it may not be possible to achieve a perfect correction. However, in Dr Huang’s considerable experience, it is usually possible to achieve a significant improvement in the patient’s condition.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

All the patient’s complaints and concerns are listened to, noted and documented. The patient’s eyelids are carefully and meticulously assessed, and the findings are correlated to the patient’s complaints and concerns. An accurate diagnosis is made as to what the problems are and their causes. A solution is formulated and fully explained to the patient.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

PREOPERATIVE PLANNING<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Careful measurement is taken of the existing double eyelid creases, and the height and design of the new double eyelid crease is determined based on both Dr Huang’s judgment as well as the patient’s preferences. The patient is therefore greatly involved in this process. The amount of excess skin that needs to be removed is determined, measured and marked.<\/p><\/div>\n\n
