What Is the Customized Incisional Method?

This page covers both the incisional double eyelid method and revision eyelid surgery (double eyelid revision).
With the incisional method, swelling subsides more slowly than with the non-incisional method and the incision line looks red for about 2–3 months,
but it allows removal of loose skin, fat removal and ptosis correction that are difficult with the non-incisional method, creating a clearer, more defined double eyelid line.

Sehyun's customized incisional method minimizes tissue removal and fixation and uses delicate suturing, aiming for results as natural-looking as those of the non-incisional method. We also plan the surgery carefully to keep the eyelid scars you may worry about as inconspicuous as possible.

DR. YOO'S THINK

Can You See a Scar?

Scarring is unavoidable after eye surgery that requires a skin incision.
In particular, individual skin characteristics and aging can slow tissue regeneration and make the skin more prone to noticeable scarring.

Surgical scars vary greatly
depending on the surgeon's skill and aftercare.

That is why careful, meticulous incisions and suturing can keep signs of surgery from being visible.
Patients who have had eye surgery at Sehyun
have a smooth transition between the surgical site and the surrounding skin after surgery,
keeping their eyelid skin smooth.

DOUBLE EYELID REVISION

Why Did My Double Eyelid Surgery Fail?

I was told the surgeon was busy, so
I met them for the first time while lying on the operating table.

I chose the surgery because it was cheap,
but I don't like the shape.

It's been a year since my double eyelid surgery, and the creases have disappeared.

My double eyelid lines are uneven.

I visited many clinics and read reviews carefully, then made a careful decision and had double eyelid surgery, but now I'm considering revision. What went wrong?

SEHYUN AESTHETIC CLINIC

I visited many clinics and read reviews carefully,
then made a careful decision and had double eyelid surgery,
but now I'm considering revision.
What went wrong?

  • 01The surgeon did not make a thorough surgical plan suited to the patient's individual anatomy
  • 02The surgery did not take into account the strength of the muscles involved in opening and closing the eyes
  • 03The design did not consider the features of the eyes and the balance of the whole face
  • 04The surgery was performed by an inexperienced surgeon

DR. YOO'S THINK

Double Eyelid Revision at Sehyun

To prevent another failure, the surgeon must
closely examine each patient's eye condition and anatomy
and discuss the patient's current concerns and desired improvements in detail
before planning and performing the surgery.

At Sehyun, double eyelid revision is
carefully planned and performed by Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok, who has 20 years of experience as a physician,
drawing on data from a large number of revision surgeries.

CASE

Double Eyelid Revision Methods by Type

CASE 01

When the crease line is set too high

We remove an appropriate amount of skin below the crease line, or release the existing crease line
and create a new one below it.

CASE 02

When the skin is loose

We correct this by removing an appropriate amount of skin below the crease line and smoothing the remaining skin.

CASE 03

When the muscles that open the eyes are weak

Ptosis correction, which tightens the levator and Müller's muscles,
strengthens the ability to open the eyes.

CASE 04

When several causes overlap

We combine correction methods to address each of the reasons revision surgery is needed.

CASE 05

When there is not enough skin

We create a new crease line below the existing one.

Q&A

Q.When looking for a clinic that does ptosis correction or revision double eyelid surgery well, should I check who performs the surgery?
A.

Yes. Check whether the doctor who consults with you also performs the surgery and whether that doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Sehyun Plastic Surgery is a single-doctor clinic run by Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon (Ph.D. in Medicine, 25 years as a physician), so the chief surgeon personally handles the first consultation, diagnosis, surgery and post-op follow-up.

With Sehyun's customized incisional technique, removal of excess skin, removal of upper eyelid fat and ptosis correction can be planned together. When ptosis correction is performed, the skin is sutured to the levator muscle so that the attachment does not loosen. For revision double eyelid surgery, the correction method is chosen according to the cause, after assessing the crease position, skin sagging and the strength of the muscles that open your eyes. Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok is a full member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, the Korean craniofacial plastic surgery society, the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and an international plastic surgery society.

Q.I've heard that at some clinics it's hard to see the doctor after eye surgery. What happens after surgery here?
A.

At Sehyun, Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok checks your progress regularly after eye surgery.
Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled at 7 days / 1 month / 3 months / 6 months after surgery. Dr. Yoo takes time during consultations to listen carefully as you describe any discomfort, however minor.

Q.I live outside Seoul and left my questions in Online Consultation. Who will answer them?
A.

At our clinic, Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok personally reads every online consultation request and writes each reply.
Dr. Yoo also personally conducts every in-person consultation. Because consultations are not possible during surgery,
we can only offer consultations to patients who have booked in advance.

Q.Other clinics told me the first consultation is only with a consultation manager, not the doctor. What about Sehyun?
A.

At Sehyun, even your first consultation is a one-on-one session with Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok.
Dr. Yoo personally explains the initial assessment needed for surgery and the surgical plan, and helps you make your own decision.

Q.When is double eyelid revision considered?
A.

It may be considered when the double eyelid crease has disappeared or was set too high, when the two creases differ, or when sagging skin covers the crease. We also check for weakness in the muscles that open the eyes and, depending on the cause, plan the necessary methods, such as adjusting the crease, skin removal or ptosis correction.

Q.What should I check when looking for a good clinic for revision eyelid surgery?
A.

It is a good idea to check whether the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon and who handles consultation, surgery and aftercare. Also check whether the surgeon examines the problems from the previous surgery, your eye-opening strength and skin condition, and explains the revision plan.

Sehyun Plastic Surgery is a single-doctor clinic led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok, who is solely responsible for consultation, surgery and aftercare.

Q.How are the costs of double eyelid revision and revision eyelid surgery determined?
A.

The surgical plan and cost differ depending on when and how the previous surgery was done, your current double eyelid line and skin condition, and the correction you want. We let you know the cost after deciding on the necessary method through diagnosis and consultation, and you can inquire on the Cost Consultation page of the Consultation & Booking menu.

Q.Where can I see reviews of double eyelid revision and revision eyelid surgery?
A.

The Eye Surgery page of the Before & After menu has a Real Surgery Reviews list with reviews from actual patients. Full reviews and photos are available after member login.

It is a good idea to check why the patient needed revision and how it was corrected. Because the surgical plan and results vary with each person's eyes and skin condition, you will need a consultation about your own condition in addition to reading reviews.

Q.Where can I get a consultation for eye surgery in Apgujeong or revision eye surgery in Gangnam or Apgujeong?
A.

Sehyun Plastic Surgery is on the 4th floor of the Medical Bank Building, 12 Apgujeong-ro 36-gil, Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
