Quickly during the 1-2 week golden time after surgery
"You don't have to wait 6 months. If you don't miss the 1-2 week golden time, you can achieve more natural results."
— Chief Director Choi Dong-il

Real cases of early correction resolving surgical results from other clinics.
There is no absolute number. However, the best time is 1-2 weeks after surgery, and Even up to 3 weeks there are cases where it is actively performed. However, if it is around 1 month post-op, after 6 monthswe recommend re-correction. The timing is determined on a 1:1 basis by comprehensively evaluating swelling and tissue stability.
Recovery is fast and results are natural as it is before scars and adhesions settle.
Once the scar begins to harden, it is safe to proceed after 6 months.

Ask anything about Early Double Eyelid Revision.
The best time is 1-2 weeks post-op, and up to 3 weeks if actively pursued. However, if it has been over 1 month, we recommend waiting 6 months.
Recovery is fast and results are natural as it is performed before scars and adhesions settle. The surgical burden is also lighter as the tissue is soft.
It is determined differently for each patient by diagnosing swelling and tissue stability. It is decided based on your recovery speed during a 1:1 consultation.
Rather, resolving it before it stabilizes reduces the burden of scarring. This is because the tissue can be handled precisely while it is soft.
Yes, double eyelid and ptosis correction results from other clinics are also eligible for early correction. However, we first diagnose the method used in the previous surgery and the condition of the tissue before determining the scope of correction, and the timing varies depending on how recovery has progressed since the first surgery.
The cost of early revision varies from person to person depending on the condition following the previous surgery, the scope of correction, and the anesthesia method. The exact amount is given at a 1:1 consultation where the condition of your eyes is examined.
It is performed under sedation or local anesthesia, and pain during surgery is not significant. Swelling or a heavy sensation may occur during recovery, but these usually ease with time. The degree of pain varies from person to person.
Sutures are removed after 4-12 days, and washing your face and light daily activities are usually possible after 3-7 days. Initial swelling subsides over 1-2 weeks, after which a natural shape gradually settles. Recovery speed varies from person to person.
Early correction resolves the issue while the tissue is still soft, before scars and adhesions harden, whereas revision surgery after 6 months is performed once the scarring has stabilized. If more than 1 month has passed since surgery and the tissue has begun to firm up, we recommend correction after 6 months.
