Q. The skin at the inner corners of my eyes is sagging after double eyelid surgery, making them asymmetrical. Can I remove the skin and make them look sharper during revision surgery?

Hello!

I have prepared a brief explanation regarding a topic many of you might be curious about. ^^

Q) The skin at the inner corners of my eyes is sagging after double eyelid surgery, making them asymmetrical. Can I remove the skin and make them look sharper during revision surgery?

A) Hello, this is Dr. Young Moon Yoo, Representative Director of Vibe Plastic Surgery, with your 1-minute plastic surgery insights.

Today, we are addressing the question: ‘The skin at the inner corners of my eyes is sagging after double eyelid surgery, making them asymmetrical. Can I remove the skin and make them look sharper during revision surgery?’

There are many factors to consider regarding the inner corner of the eye. Even if there is skin sagging, it is difficult to resolve because the incision cannot be extended too far inward, and fine wrinkles may occur due to the clashing of skin textures where the eye meets the nose.

Furthermore, because the tarsal plate in the inner corner is small and the fat layer is thick, the line fixation tends to become loose easily. In the case of the questioner, we can achieve symmetry by addressing the sagging inner corner skin using the incisional method. By removing the fat layer above the tarsal plate and then securing the line, we can create a clearer and more defined double eyelid.

Frequently Asked Questions

After double eyelid surgery, the skin at the inner corner of my eye is sagging and asymmetrical. Can this be corrected with revision surgery?

Yes, it can be corrected with revision surgery using the incisional method. By addressing the sagging skin at the inner corner, symmetry between both eyes can be achieved, and after removing the fat layer above the tarsal plate and re-fixing the line, a clear and distinct line can be created.

Why does the double eyelid line at the inner corner of the eye often loosen or come undone?

This is because the tarsal plate at the inner corner of the eye is small and the fat layer is thick. Due to these anatomical characteristics, it is easy for the line fixation to become loose during surgery, so revision surgery may require appropriate removal of this fat layer.

Can the incision be extended long at the inner corner of the eye when addressing sagging skin?

No, it is difficult to extend the incision long inwards at the inner corner of the eye. There is a risk of fine wrinkles forming due to the skin texture colliding with the part connected to the nose, so rather than forcibly extending the incision line, the surgery should be performed carefully under the accurate diagnosis of a specialist.

What surgical method is needed to make the inner corner of the eye clearer?

The incisional method is needed to address skin sagging and remove fat. By removing the thick fat layer above the tarsal plate and firmly fixing the double eyelid line, a much clearer and more defined inner corner eye line can be achieved than before.
