BASELINE EYE
I had double eyelid surgery done before. However, the results did not meet my expectations. My eyelids became droopy, making my eyes appear small and unbalanced. Both eyelid creases were poorly defined, with multiple visible folds. All these things made me look less refreshed. Using eyelid tape no longer helped! Eventually, I realized it was time to get these problems solved. I chose a clinic that I believed could give me the best results.
I came across Lovely Eye & Skin Clinic, whose team of experienced ophthalmologists specialized in eyelid surgery, giving me confidence that I was in good hands. They also offer various techniques to address different eye concerns. After doing some research, I decided to book an appointment for initial consultation. For me, having a consultation session before surgery is another important step. It allows the patients to know their actual eye conditions and get to know the surgeons who will be performing surgery for you.
Before double eyelid surgery: droopy eyes, hidden eyelids with multiple folds, uneven eyes, and epicanthal fold
กBefore coming in for my eyelid revision consultation, I had no idea that my eyes had so many underlying issues. I always thought my droopy eyelids were the only reason I didn't have a defined double eyelid and why my eyes looked uneven. However, there are actually several reasons why double eyelid surgery alone may not provide a beautiful or lasting result. Many people may not be aware of these .
During my consultation, the doctor explained everything in detail. For people with thick eyelids, creating a double eyelid without removing excess skin and the underlying fat can cause the eyelid crease to become hidden over time. The excess skin and fat can weigh down and compress the newly created crease, making it look less defined or uneven.
That's why, for revision eyelid surgery, the doctor carefully evaluates the amount of excess skin and fat before the procedure. If necessary, these tissues are removed to create a well-defined, natural-looking eyelid crease that matches the surgical design.
Another issue I had was an epicanthal fold that covered too much of the inner corner of my eyes. I think many people may have the same concern without realizing it. A prominent inner corner fold can make the eyes appear shorter, smaller, and less proportionate, giving them a less bright or refreshed appearance. This can often be improved with an inner corner (epicanthoplasty) procedure. In some cases, a prominent epicanthal fold can also make the irises appear too close together. Opening the inner corners can help create better balance, making the irises appear more centered and the eyes look larger, brighter, and more attractive.
Before the surgery, the staff took excellent care of me and made sure I understood everything I needed to know. They provided detailed instructions on post-operative care, including how to keep the incision clean, which foods to avoid during recovery, and how to take my medications properly. They also gave me a written aftercare guide to take home, which I found incredibly helpful. I was truly impressed by the level of care and attention I received from everyone at the clinic.
Once I was in the operating room, both the doctor and the surgical staff continued to take great care of me. The doctor explained each step of the procedure as it progressed, while the staff stayed by my side, regularly checking on how I was feeling and making sure I was comfortable throughout the surgery. Their reassurance helped me feel relaxed and at ease. Most importantly, the doctor had an incredibly gentle touch. Many people say that the local anesthetic injections are the most painful part of double-eyelid surgery, but at this clinic, I didn't feel any pain at all—not even during the injections.
Now, let's take a look at my results after the revision eyelid surgery.

I used to think that revision eyelid surgery, being more complex than primary double-eyelid surgery, would result in much more swelling. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how minimal the swelling was after the procedure.
I followed all of the clinic's aftercare instructions carefully. I took all the prescribed medications, kept the incision clean, and avoided foods that could interfere with healing, such as chicken, eggs, fermented foods, and seafood. I also applied cold compresses to my eyes regularly, which helped reduce swelling and allowed the surgical site to heal more quickly.
Two weeks after my revision surgery and inner corner procedure, I returned to see the doctor to have my stitches removed. Once the stitches were out, my eyes felt much more comfortable. I could clearly see my new eyelid creases. Both sides were well-defined. As a result, my eyes looked bigger and brighter. I was absolutely thrilled with how beautiful they looked.

My eyelids looked beautiful, and the overall shape of my eyes was amazing. My eyes looked noticeably bigger and longer. After the inner corner procedure, the difference was remarkable. My eyelid crease was well-defined because the excess skin from my upper eyelids and inner corners had been removed. I no longer had droopy or puffy eyelids, and I was very happy with the results.
