Yes, there are quite a lot of people
troubled by a double eyelid that sits too high.
Through line-lowering revision surgery, we can correct it
to a double eyelid line
that suits you.
There are two approaches.
One is the one-line technique.
The other is the scar-preserving high fold correction (the "two-line" technique).
You can see the difference
in the names themselves, can't you?
The one-line technique excises the skin between
the existing double eyelid line and
the newly designed line, releasing the adhesion
and creating a new line.
At this point some of you may be thinking
"hold on?" and wondering about something.
Of course, excessive excision can cause lagophthalmos (incomplete eye closure).
That is why we minimise the amount excised appropriately
for each patient, performing surgery without complications.
Even so, there will be patients who have
no skin left to excise.
That is because so much may already have been excised
in a previous operation that there is no skin left to remove.
It is precisely to these patients
that we recommend the scar-preserving high fold correction.
You ask what makes the scar-preserving high fold correction different from the one-line technique?
Simply this: the scar-preserving high fold correction releases the adhesion of the existing double eyelid
and creates a new line below it.
No skin is excised.
It can also lower the line rather further.
And it has the advantage that surgery
can be repeated several times!
However, there are points to be careful about!
Two lines of scarring are left, and
re-adhesion easily produces multiple folds, which means
it is surgery only an experienced plastic surgeon
is able to perform.
Dr. Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyon Plastic Surgery
is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience,
and he has successfully carried out
a great many scar-preserving high fold corrections.
In performing the demanding scar-preserving high fold correction,
what matters most is prescribing the right approach
for each individual patient.
Minimising tissue damage through thorough planning
and delicate surgical work
is the approach Gangnam Seoyon pursues.
Above all, with a tailored design that takes into account the shape and condition of the eyes
and the face as a whole, we look after not only function
but aesthetics as well.
We will close this article by showing you before-and-after photographs
of safe and beautiful scar-preserving high fold corrections.
