Cause and Resolution of Thinning Double Eyelid Creases Post-Surgery

Image
After double eyelid surgery, some patients are concerned when noticing their eyelid creases appearing thinner. But why does this occur, and is corrective surgery the solution? Several factors contribute to the thinning of double eyelid creases post-surgery. These include natural loss of skin elasticity over time and habits like excessive eye rubbing, which are common causes. Determining whether revision surgery is necessary depends on the underlying cause. If sagging eyelids are the issue, it's possible to restore the original double eyelid crease by removing excess skin, thereby making the crease more visible. To address concerns about thinning double eyelid creases, it's crucial to seek guidance from an experienced plastic surgeon. A thorough consultation can help determine the best course of action, ensuring the desired outcome.

Why Do Double Eyelid Creases Become Thinner after Surgery?

Image
Some patients who have undergone double eyelid surgery express concerns about their eyelids appearing thinner sometime after the procedure. But why does this happen, and is a revision surgery necessary to address it? These are several reasons why double eyelid creases appear thinner following the surgery. For instance, the skin in the upper eyelid area may lose elasticity over time, or excessive eye rubbing can contribute to this issue, which is actually quite common.  Whether a revision surgery is necessary depends on the underlying cause. If the eyelids are saggy, it is possible to maintain the original double eyelid crease while removing excess skin, thus making the creases appear more visible.  Understanding the specific reason behind the thinning of double eyelid creases is crucial. It is advisable to have a thorough consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon before considering a revision surgery. 

Will My Double Eyelids Disappear After an Upper Blepharoplasty?

Image
Upper blepharoplasty is effective in fixing droopy eyelids due to skin aging. However, some of our customers who have double eyelids wonder if their double eyelids could be maintained during an upper blepharoplasty, or if the upper blepharoplasty should be combined with a double eyelid incisional surgery.  Can your double eyelids be maintained during an upper blepharoplasty? If you have double eyelids, the droopy eyelids and excess fat can be removed through incisions made along your eyelid crease during surgery. There is no need to create new eyelid creases. However, your eyes may appear unnatural for a while after surgery due to the incisions made along the crease. They will become more natural within 3 to 4 weeks.

How to Fix Droopy Eyelids

Many customers have visited our clinic for a blepharoplasty due to their droopy eyelids. They wonder if it is possible to fix droopy eyelids with a double eyelid surgery only. Is this possible? Your droopy eyelids can be improved with a double eyelid incisional surgery. However, for droopy eyelids due to ageing, double eyelid surgery should be combined with upper blepharoplasty for higher effectiveness. This will make your eyes wider and more awake-looking by removing wrinkles above the eyes and creating double eyelids at the same time.

Fat grafting and Double eyelid surgery

Image
  During the consultation, many patients wish to have multiple surgeries at once.  Among the most prominent of them are Fat grafting and Double eyelid surgery.  Is it possible to do both surgeries on the same day? It is recommended to set different dates for Fat grafting and Double eyelid surgery.  You should get Double eyelid surgery first, followed by Fat grafting. The main reason for the aforesaid surgery sequence is swelling after Fat grafting.  In particular, the forehead area may interfere with the shape of the double eyelids as the swelling from the forehead goes down to the eyelid area.  After double eyelid surgery, it is better to consider forehead fat grafting after a follow-up consultation with the plastic surgeon.

Can you have Upper blepharoplasty in your 30s?

Image
  Upper blepharoplasty is a highly effective operation that improves the drooping eyelids.  This is a necessary surgery if your eyelids sag and your vision is getting obscured. Even though your eyelids are drooping, you may wonder  if Upper blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that you have to undergo only when you are older.  Can you have upper eyelid surgery even in your 30s? Upper eyelid surgery can be performed regardless of age if you notice eyelid sagging.  The eyelids are the most mobile parts of the face, therefore the eyelid skin ages the fastest.  There are cases in which Upper eyelid surgery is performed even for patients in their late 20s. Before getting surgery, please consult with your plastic surgeon to decide on the most suitable surgery method.  Blepharoplasty | Plastic Surgery | She's Plastic Surgery (www.shesps.com) #shesplasticsurgery #busanplasticsurgery #nampodong #upperblepharoplasty #eyelids #doubleeyelids #eyewrinkles
