Double-Line Fold Lowering?! Sausage Eyelid Correction?! At VIBE Plastic Surgery!

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Two previous eyelid surgeries including natural adhesion and partial incision ptosis correction.

# Chief Complaint: Wants to correct thick, ‘sausage-like’ double eyelids and asymmetry.

# Current Status & Requirements: Wants to achieve a natural line by correcting the sausage-like appearance.

* Consultation

# The primary concerns are the slightly weak eye-opening strength and the excessively high line design, resulting in thick, sausage-like double eyelids.

# Since there is a lack of excess skin, we planned to lower the line using the ‘double-line fold lowering’ technique to correct the sausage appearance and improve eye-opening strength through ptosis correction for a clearer look.

* Surgical Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Revision Surgery (Double-line fold lowering, Sausage eyelid correction)

* Post-operative Progress

# By correcting the sausage appearance and performing ptosis correction, a clear and refreshed line was achieved.

# Through the double-line fold lowering technique, we strived to create a look as natural as if it were the patient’s first surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'double-line incision' surgery?

The 'double-line incision' (dujul-ttagi) is a surgical method that lowers an existing high and thick double eyelid line to correct eyes that appear like 'sausage eyes'. It can help create a natural line even when there is not much skin laxity.

Why do 'sausage eyes' occur?

'Sausage eyes' primarily occur when the double eyelid line is designed too high or when the strength of the eye-opening muscle is weak, causing the area below the double eyelid line to appear thick. This can give an unnatural impression.

I've had eye surgery multiple times in the past; is revision surgery possible?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also underwent revision surgery to correct 'sausage eyes' and asymmetry after two previous eye surgeries, including natural adhesion and partial incision ptosis correction. You can consult with a specialist to create a plan tailored to your current condition.

Is ptosis correction also necessary along with the 'double-line incision'?

Yes, it may be necessary. If the eye-opening strength is weak, combining 'double-line incision' to lower the line with ptosis correction can improve eye-opening strength and create a clearer and fresher eye shape.

What side effects can occur after surgery?

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These can vary by individual, so it is necessary to receive sufficient explanation before surgery and exercise caution.
