Dr. Dongil ChoiThe simplest guide is the time since surgery. Swelling usually starts to subside within 2 weeks and is gone by about 6 months. If the mucosa still looks exposed after that, it is a good idea to have it checked for eyelid margin eversion.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the skin becomes insufficient during surgery, the eyelid is pulled upward, and the mucosa and eyelashes can look upturned along with it.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe greater the skin shortage, the more of it may remain even after correction. To avoid functional side effects such as difficulty closing the eyes, it is important not to push the correction too far.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that closes the eye, is damaged, lagophthalmos (incomplete eye closure) can result. That is why the surgeon's skill in correcting the eversion while preserving the orbicularis oculi is important.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIn most cases, the line naturally unties after thread removal. Some marks may remain, and frequent massaging increases the possibility of it untying.

Dr. Dongil ChoiNo. Because it is removed by making a tiny hole at the site of the non-incisional method, there is almost no tissue damage.

Dr. Dongil ChoiAlmost all can be removed through micro-location tracking. Our clinic records and keeps photos of the removal process.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is not mandatory, but if you want a new line, it can be performed together.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is similar or slightly shorter. This is because there is no large incision.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe optimal time is usually about 6 months after the primary surgery. However, if the symptoms are severe and cause discomfort in daily life, it may be performed regardless of the timing.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. However, we first determine the exact cause to judge whether touching only one side will look natural, or if both sides need adjusting to achieve symmetry.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIn most cases, they are not necessary. Gangnam Seoyon's principle is to resolve it cleanly through dissection and prevention of readhesion alone, and accompanying procedures are performed only when absolutely necessary.

Dr. Dongil ChoiConjoined fascia surgery is a highly difficult technique utilizing the elastic ligament tissue behind the levator muscle, resulting in less lagophthalmos and better outcomes for opening and closing the eyes.

Dr. Dongil ChoiWe minimize the possibility of recurrence by filling with normal tissue and fat tissue to prevent readhesion. However, there may be differences depending on individual recovery ability.

Dr. Dongil ChoiFirst, a medical evaluation is required. If the disease is active, the timing of the surgery is determined after stabilization.
