Repair of unsatisfactory double eyelid after double-eyelid blepharoplasty in Asian patients.
OBJECTIVE
To summarize the types and causes of unsatisfactory double eyelid results after double-eyelid blepharoplasty in Asian patients and to explore the corrective methods.


METHODS
Various methods are used to repair different types of unsatisfactory double-eyelid results following double-eyelid blepharoplasty. The basic principles are that scar adhesions should be released as much as possible, the normal anatomic structure is restored, the radian of the double eyelid is adjusted, and the position of the double eyelid is relocated.


RESULTS
After 3 months to 5 years of follow-up, most patients who initially had unsatisfactory double-eyelid results after double-eyelid blepharoplasty were satisfied with the results of corrective surgery.


CONCLUSIONS
It is important to avoid complications at the first double-eyelid blepharoplasty because corrective surgery is difficult.
