1. Can I have upper eyelid surgery again?
Regarding the question of whether you can have upper eyelid surgery again, the answer is YES. You can undergo a second upper eyelid surgery (eyelid revision surgery) to address complications or to refine the eyelid crease to your satisfaction.
Typically, after 3 to 6 months, once the eyelid wound has fully healed, the doctor will perform the eyelid revision surgery. However, in some cases, the second upper eyelid surgery may be conducted sooner. Therefore, it is best to consult with a doctor for a thorough examination of the eyelid crease condition to accurately assess when the procedure can be performed.

- The eyelid crease is too large or too small, causing asymmetry and disharmony with the face.
- Eyelids are turned outward, making it difficult to blink or fully close when sleeping (or even during daily activities).
- Droopy eyelids, sunken eyelids.

Case 1:Ms. Nguyen Thi Loan (1973, Ho Chi Minh City) had a long period of feeling insecure and self-conscious due to her eyelids being poorly done, which looked worse than her original monolid, compounded by complications of ptosis.
Ms. Loan sadly shared: “Even though I really want to correct it again, I am afraid that if I don’t choose a reputable clinic carefully, I might end up with another poorly defined eyelid crease, affecting my ‘facade’. By chance, I met Dr. Eye through a friend’s recommendation, and I bravely went for a consultation. Overcoming the worries and psychological barriers from my previous eyelid surgery failure, I decided to trust my eyes to the specialized team of aesthetic surgeons at Dr. Eye. The sweet reward for my trust came with a new eyelid crease after 7 days of treatment, and after 1 month of treatment. The new eyelid crease was not only completely ‘healed’ but also matched the shape I had always dreamed of, giving my eyes a bright and radiant look.
