For a double eyelid surgery, no matter what kind of result it turns out to be, the feeling of the recipient is the most important. If after the operation she herself thinks it's not beautiful, her psychological state can be imagined. Conversely, if after the operation others all think it's not good-looking but she herself thinks it's very beautiful, then it can be said that part of the purpose of the operation has been achieved.
Objectively speaking, different people have different eyes and facial conditions, so the aesthetic standard for double eyelids also varies, making it difficult to measure satisfaction with a single objective criterion. For example, some people prefer wide double eyelids while others prefer narrow ones; some like wide inner corners of the eyes, while others prefer fine and narrow double eyelid inner corners; some like the outer corners of the double eyelids to be upward slanting, while others prefer them to be parallel. However, there are a few points that are consistent:
1. After the operation, the double eyelids look natural, without visible artificial scars, meaning they don't look fake or contrived.
2. After the operation, the upper eyelids are smooth, without subcutaneous nodules, and the incision scars are not obvious.
3. There is no discomfort after the operation.
The less-than-ideal states of double eyelid surgery often objectively have the following defects:
1. The double eyelids are too large.
2. The double eyelids are too small.
3. The arc of the double eyelids is not smooth.
4. The arc of the double eyelids is too short.
5. The eyes feel tight after the double eyelid surgery.
6. The scars after double eyelid surgery are obvious, especially common in the inner corner of the eye.
7. The fold line of the eyelid is too shallow or too deep.
8. Continuous swelling after double eyelid surgery, which still hasn't completely subsided after six months.
All of the above states can be adjusted again through surgery or a new double eyelid formation surgery can be performed to achieve satisfactory results.
Generally, the timing for secondary corrective surgery should be three months to half a year after the operation, because the complete recovery time from soft tissue surgical trauma needs three months. However, in individual cases, if the patient cannot bear the less-than-ideal postoperative state and there are obvious shortcomings in the surgery, early rework surgery can also be performed. In this case, the earlier the better, ideally within 6 days when the incision has not yet firmly healed. However, surgery at this time should be cautious and must be completed by experienced senior doctors to ensure a greater chance of success.
