What is Revision Eyelid Surgery?

Some people have already received eyelid surgery, but are unsatisfied because their surgery went wrong. In those cases the eyelids are unraveled, uneven, or unnatural. It is important to accurately diagnose what went wrong in the first procedure so that there would not be a need for a second surgery. Moreover, in cases of revisions, since tissues are already damaged from the first surgery, corrections are difficult to be made. Thus, it is important to receive surgery from highly experienced plastic surgery specialist.
