In case first surgery used non-incision method
- Loosen the stitched part from the burial within 2 weeks after the surgery and reposition the eyelid crease.
- However, if it has been over 2 weeks after the surgery, perform reoperation using incision because synechia is already underway
In case first surgery underestimated blepharoptosis
- Incision must be performed to lower the double eyelid height, blepharoptosis and remove the fat looking like sausage for a thinner and more natural double eyelid.
2. If double eyelid crease is too thin or low
Too shallow double eyelid crease
- Loosen the knot in the existing eyelid and make the double eyelid crease in line with a slightly higher crease.

If there is no need to remove muscle or fat
- Use partial incision for the revision surgery.
5. In case multiple layers has formed in double eyelid creases
Lossen the adhered tissues causing the multiple layers of double eyelid creases to remove all the existing lines and reposition the double eyelid creases.
