Eye Surgery

  • The delicate nature of the eye area requires meticulous and delicate care preserving the natural character and expression of the eyes while enhancing their natural character and expression.
  • Considering the interplay between skin, fat, and muscle, we focus on both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the eyes. As one of the most expressive features of the face, the eyes are often the first to show signs of aging, such as drooping lids, puffiness, or asymmetry. Eye surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, offers a solution to these concerns, rejuvenating the eye area to restore a youthful and refreshed appearance.
  • For those with more complex concerns, specialized techniques like epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty can correct oblique or asymmetrical eyes, creating a more harmonious and balanced look.

Revision Eye Surgery

Corrective surgeries aimed at refining or repairing the results of previous eye surgeries, ensuring a more satisfactory outcome. This treatment is tailored to individual needs, addressing issues like asymmetry, scarring, or dissatisfaction with initial results.

This is the case when the design was set too low during the previous surgery, or when the skin drooped over time and eyelids were loosened. In this case, double eyelids are created upwards than the existing line, sagging skin above the line, or abrasion with existing lines is used. The former method has the disadvantage of scars being seen as another line in the eyelids when eyes are closed. In the latter case, there is a risk that the eye may not be fully closed because there is not much leftover skin in the eyelid. Therefore, sufficient consultation and decision should be made after considering the accurate cause of the problem.

our process03

It is so called the ‘sausage’ and it is a big part of the reason for the revisional surgery. Excessive double eyelid line design or excessive scar tissue formation due to the previous surgery are the main causes. It is necessary to make a natural line by removing the scar tissue and adhesion while lowering the height of the double eyelid.

our process03

The most common reason is that the height of both eyelid lines is measured differently, or that they are fixed at different locations, and they may feel different depending on the depth of the fixation. You may re-calibrate the other side to suit your preference, and in some cases, you may re-check both sides and adjust the symmetry.

our process03

Over time, there are cases where double eyelids are not feeling natural and look awkward. There may be feelings of pulling eyes, and you may find surgical scars are invested when you close your eyes. Your eyelashes are sometimes turned upside down. In this case, we should make an incision into the area where the surgery was performed, release the adjoining tissue, locate the proper location, and recalibrate the affected area.

our process03

If you have blepharoptosis and get double eyelid surgery without correcting the muscle, you will feel your double eyelid line too high or your eye can look sleepy. When performing the revisional surgery, muscles first need to be strengthened through incision or non-incisional ptosis correction depending on the degree of blepharoptosis, in order to make clear and vivid double eyelids.

our process03

After surgery, another fold is formed over the crease on double eyelid. Adhesion occurs around the fixed area, causing excess folds. If it is not so severe, it can be corrected through micro fat grafting, but it is difficult to deal with the folds created after several operations. The surgery either removes the adhesion completely or covers the fat pockets present on the eyelid, or it collects and transplants autologous fat.

our process03

The natural and beautiful double eyelid extends 4~6 millimeters from the outer corner of the eyes. When the double eyelid is gone, the eyelid feels like they are falling apart. It will make awkward or strong impression because eyelid line goes slightly up.

our process03

The types of double eyelid scarring can be divided into hyperplasia and retraction. For hyperplasia scar, an inaccurate interstitial suture or inflammation during wound healing may be the cause. Conversely, scar retraction is due to the excessive removal of tissue in order to strengthen the adhesion of the double eyelids during the surgery.

our process03
our process03
Cat-Eye Surgery

Cat-Eye Surgery, or Canthoplasty, enhances the natural shape of the eyes by lifting the outer corners for a more defined, almond-like appearance. This minimally invasive procedure offers a rejuvenated, youthful look with swift recovery and long-lasting results.
