Know-how in delicately releasing adhesions

In eye revision surgery, releasing the existing line and delicately dissecting the adhered surrounding tissue matters most of all.
APEX Plastic Surgery has the know-how to release adhesions delicately while keeping tissue damage to a minimum.

Four medical illustrations comparing the eyelid adhesion release process from left (before surgery) to right (after surgery). The top two are lateral cross-sections of the eyelid, showing the skin, muscle and fat layers, the adhesion site and the dissection area with arrows; the bottom two are frontal views of the closed eye, with leader lines marking the existing line and the newly set line.

Top-right cross section: skin, Muller's muscle, orbital fat, fine dissection wider than the existing area. Bottom-left front view: the faulty existing double eyelid line. Bottom-right front view: extent of dissection, releasing the adhesion of the existing crease line, position of the new double eyelid line.

APEX Eye Revision Surgery — timing, candidates, surgical methods, and revision CASE guide

When?

APEX Eye Revision Surgery timing

When is the right time for APEX eye revision surgery?

The adhesion from the previous surgery resolves and the eye tissue stabilizes; depending on the individual eye conditionit can vary, but it usually takes about 6 months to 1 year. Without allowing enough recoveryUndergoing revision surgery may instead lead to an unfavorable result.

Acute-Stage Revision

If, right after surgery, the ptosis correction is judged to have adhered excessively, or adhesion has formed in the wrong areaIf this is expected, it is best to correct and release it before two weeks have passed after surgery.

Intermediate-Stage Revision

It is performed after the skin tissue has stabilized following surgery, generally between 1 and 6 months afterward, andIt resolves side effects that mainly arise after non-incisional procedures.

Late-Stage Revision

It is performed once at least six months have passed and the surgical scar has sufficiently stabilized.It resolves side effects that arise after incisional surgical methods.

APEX Eye Revision Surgery method

How is APEX eye revision surgery performed?

We analyze and identify why the previous surgery failed, choose the technique best suited to it, andWe take function and each patient's wishes into account and work to deliver a more satisfying result.

Illustration of an eye whose double eyelid line has loosened and faded

CASE01When the double eyelid line has come undone

If the double eyelid line is weakly fixed, it may loosen over time.The loosened double eyelid line is redesigned, and from among various methods such as natural adhesion and the incisional methodWe choose the method suited to your eye condition and operate so the result is as unlikely as possible to loosen.However, if you are concerned it may loosen again later and want a more definite result, the incisional methodcan be resolved with surgery.

CASE02When the double eyelid line is too high

If the double eyelid line was designed too high in the first surgery, the original incision line isAfter making the incision including this area, the portion fixed too high is released, lowered in size, and againand fixed. There is a chance that the crease will form again at the original high positionin such cases, an additional procedure using fat grafting or surrounding tissue may beThere is.

Illustration of an eye with a low double eyelid line

CASE03When the double eyelid line is too low

If the double eyelid line was set too low in the first surgery, it can be redesigned to the line you wantthe design is drawn, and a surgical method matched to the eye condition and design is chosen for improvement.When sagging eyelid skin has lowered the double eyelid line, the drooping skinis trimmed away to create a double eyelid line at the height you want.

Illustration of asymmetric eyes with different double eyelid heights

CASE04When the double eyelid shape is asymmetrical

When the first surgery was not performed as designed, or the fixation of the double eyelid line wasoccurred differently. Only one side can be corrected to the height you wantHowever, the surgical method varies with the cause, and for symmetry both sidesrevision surgery is recommended.

CASE05When double eyelid scarring is severe

If eyelid tissue or skin remains, the scarred portion is excised and reduced whilecorrects the double eyelid line. Unnecessary scar tissue is removed and the double eyelid line isIf the eyelid lacks the tissue to create this, fat grafting to the eyelid can resolve itThere is.

CASE06Multiple creases or hollowing above the eye

the crease loosening, unnecessary adhesion creating multiple creases, or hollowing above the eyeand so on can occur. The adhesion must be released and surgery performed so it does not re-adhere, andSevere hollowing above the eyes can be improved with fat grafting.

CASE07Eyes looking smaller than they did before surgery

when ptosis was present but only double eyelid surgery was done without ptosis correction, or when in short eyes the creaseif the height becomes relatively high, the eyes can look smaller. Ptosis correction orcorrected by performing canthoplasty.
