Revision Eyelid Surgery
qd Revision Eyelid Surgery
Previous surgery, crease changes, scars and closure difficulties are assessed by cause. Remaining tissue and adhesions determine the possibilities and limits of revision.
Revision Eyelid Surgery is available at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea.
is this for me
Who it’s for
Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.
- People with persistent crease height, multiple folds or asymmetry after surgery
- People with troublesome closure, tightness or dryness after a previous operation
- People seeking a realistic assessment of revision options
Assessment includes eyelid height, opening strength, brow position and eye closure. A photograph or procedure name cannot determine suitability; another approach or observation may be advised after examination.
start with your concern
Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.
Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.

the principle
How it works
Revision Eyelid Surgery
Revision starts with the cause of the current shape or functional difficulty rather than repeating the first operation. Previous fixation, scars, adhesions, remaining skin and the opening mechanism are reviewed. Adjustment of fixation, scar release or tissue repositioning may be considered without promising that every issue can be corrected at once. Tissue preservation and ocular-surface comfort guide the priorities.
How it works
Previous techniques and the timing of symptoms
Review dates, techniques, photographs and available operation records.
Scars, adhesions and remaining tissue
Separate swelling, scar maturation, adhesions, tissue shortage and functional problems before choosing timing.
Priorities for crease change and function
Plan the necessary adjustment and tissue preservation, then follow healing, function and crease changes.
the qd standard
The same treatment, never the same plan.
Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.
- DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
- LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
- HONEST LIMIT
The limits, explained too
We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.
personal plan
From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.

Surgical approach

Recovery and follow-up

What the procedure is like
- Review dates, techniques, photographs and available operation records.
- Separate swelling, scar maturation, adhesions, tissue shortage and functional problems before choosing timing.
- Plan the necessary adjustment and tissue preservation, then follow healing, function and crease changes.
Anaesthesia, surgical scope and expected duration are agreed after an in-person examination. Arrange the day of surgery, transport home and follow-up together.
Please read this before treatment
- Existing scars and adhesions can make swelling and tissue settling less predictable. Do not assume the previous recovery timetable applies; follow-up checks closure and changes in the operated tissues.
- Check swelling, bruising, closure, dryness and wound healing. Follow the individual instructions for cooling and washing, and avoid rubbing the eyes.
- Wound review and any suture removal depend on the approach. Contact lenses, eye makeup and exercise resume according to wound and ocular-surface assessment.
Safety & considerations
Possible reactions
- Swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection and scarring at incision or suture sites are possible.
- Overcorrection, undercorrection, asymmetry, crease changes, recurrence and further correction are discussed.
- Incomplete closure, dry eyes, corneal irritation and, rarely, complications affecting vision can occur.
Before surgery
- Report previous eyelid or forehead surgery, eye conditions, contact-lens use and dryness.
- Discuss medicines, supplements, bleeding disorders, allergies and smoking; do not stop prescribed medicines yourself.
Sudden vision changes, severe pain or rapidly increasing one-sided swelling require immediate contact with the medical team or emergency care. Correction, scars and recovery vary between individuals.
what to expect
What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.
Early recovery
Check swelling, bruising, closure, dryness and wound healing. Follow the individual instructions for cooling and washing, and avoid rubbing the eyes.
Review appointments
Wound review and any suture removal depend on the approach. Contact lenses, eye makeup and exercise resume according to wound and ocular-surface assessment.
Settling
Lid height and crease appearance can change as swelling settles. Follow-up compares function and symmetry rather than judging the final result immediately.
Sessions & results
Existing scars and adhesions can make swelling and tissue settling less predictable. Do not assume the previous recovery timetable applies; follow-up checks closure and changes in the operated tissues.

| Revision Eyelid Surgery | Incisional Ptosis Correction | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of correction | Previous surgery, crease changes, scars and closure difficulties are assessed by cause. Remaining tissue and adhesions determine the possibilities and limits of revision. | An incision allows assessment of the structures involved in eyelid opening. Skin, fat and eye closure guide planning of lid height and the crease. |
| Recovery and follow-up | Existing scars and adhesions can make swelling and tissue settling less predictable. Do not assume the previous recovery timetable applies; follow-up checks closure and changes in the operated tissues. | Protect the incision from rubbing and tension. Suture review follows wound healing; early swelling can make the crease look high or uneven, so both function and scarring are followed. |
before consultation
Before you decide, the questions people always ask
Note the dates and methods of earlier operations and when each concern began. Operation records, material details and photographs before and after surgery can help. An examination is still possible when records are unavailable. If there were several operations, explain the sequence and changes after each one.
Early swelling and temporary tissue tension can obscure the eventual appearance. Timing depends on healing, scar changes and the cause of any functional difficulty. However, poor closure, vision changes or severe pain need prompt assessment rather than waiting. Urgent problems are separated from the planning of elective shape correction.
Existing fixation, adhesions and available skin limit how much a crease or scar can be changed. Tissue shortage or repeated operations can restrict correction. Complete scar removal or an exact return to the original eyelids cannot be guaranteed. Consultation identifies the target areas and differences that may remain.
A concern on one side can be influenced by movement and brow use on the other. Both eyelids are examined for height, function and remaining tissue. The cause and balance determine whether one-sided or bilateral adjustment is appropriate. The aim is the necessary correction with tissue preservation, not automatically extending the operation.

Under-eyeErbium Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
qd erbium under-eye fat repositioningUnder-eye fat repositioning treats eye bags by moving the fat that bulges under the eye down into the hollow of the tear trough, smoothing the transition between the lid and cheek. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, this is performed through the inside of the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) using an erbium laser rather than a blade, so there is no external skin incision. It is carried out under local anesthesia. (Results vary by individual.)
