Deep Eyelid Crease After Surgery in Korea | Revision Double Eyelid Surgery at ETONNE Plastic Surgery
A deep eyelid crease after double eyelid surgery is often caused by excessive scar adhesion, overly strong crease fixation, or excessive tissue removal. At ETONNE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, revision eyelid surgery is customized to soften deep eyelid folds, restore natural eyelid movement, and create a balanced, natural-looking double eyelid. Revision procedures require careful scar release and individualized reconstruction because the eyelid anatomy has already been altered.
Deep Eyelid Crease Revision Surgery
An overly deep eyelid crease can make the eyes appear hollow, tense, or unnaturally wide. Some patients also experience eyelid tightness, multiple folds, or discomfort when blinking. These concerns may develop immediately after surgery or become more noticeable as scar tissue matures.
Revision surgery focuses on restoring normal eyelid anatomy rather than simply lowering the crease.
Common concerns include:
- Deep or sunken eyelid crease
- High double eyelid fold
- Hollow upper eyelids
- Tight eyelids
- Multiple eyelid folds
- Visible scar indentation
- Eyelid asymmetry
- Unnatural eye appearance
- Difficulty closing the eyes
- Persistent eyelid tension
Why Does a Deep Eyelid Crease Occur?
A deep crease may result from:
- Excessive scar tissue adhesion
- Overly strong crease fixation
- High crease placement
- Excess skin or fat removal
- Previous revision surgery
- Individual healing characteristics
During revision surgery, scar adhesions may be released and the eyelid tissues reconstructed to reduce crease depth while preserving eyelid function.
ETONNE Revision Approach
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation before surgery.
Personalized Assessment
- Previous surgical history
- Scar tissue
- Crease depth
- Eyelid muscle function
- Skin quality
- Fat volume
- Eye symmetry
- Eyelid closure
Customized Revision Surgery
Depending on the cause, surgery may include:
- Scar tissue release
- Adhesion removal
- Crease repositioning
- Anatomical reconstruction
- Fat repositioning
- Micro-fat grafting
- Ptosis correction if needed
- Scar refinement
The objective is to restore a softer, more natural eyelid crease while maintaining comfortable blinking and eye protection.
Recovery
Typical healing includes:
- Week 1: Swelling and bruising
- Weeks 2–4: Reduced tightness
- Months 2–3: More natural crease formation
- Months 6–12: Final scar maturation
Revision healing is often slower than first-time eyelid surgery because of existing scar tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my eyelid crease so deep after surgery?
Deep creases are commonly caused by excessive scar adhesion, high crease fixation, or removal of too much tissue during the original procedure.
Can a deep eyelid crease be corrected?
Many patients achieve a softer, more natural crease through individualized revision surgery that releases scar tissue and reconstructs the eyelid anatomy.
Why do my eyelids feel tight?
Scar tissue can tether the eyelid, creating tension during blinking and eye opening.
Can hollow upper eyelids be improved?
Yes. Selected patients may benefit from fat repositioning or micro-fat grafting to restore upper eyelid volume.
Is revision surgery more difficult?
Yes. Scar tissue and altered anatomy make revision eyelid surgery considerably more complex than primary surgery.
When should revision surgery be performed?
Most surgeons recommend waiting approximately 6–12 months after the original surgery unless earlier correction is medically necessary.
Will the deep crease come back?
A carefully planned revision aims to create a stable, natural crease, although long-term results also depend on healing and tissue characteristics.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Most international patients remain in Korea for approximately 7–14 days for surgery and follow-up visits.
Can I receive an online consultation?
Yes. Initial assessment can usually begin with photographs and previous surgical information.
