Fixing a High Crease or Botched Eyelid Surgery
Regain Confidence with a Natural-Looking Eyelid Crease
Your eyes are one of your most defining features, and for many, double eyelid surgery is a way to enhance their natural beauty. However, not all surgeries go as planned.
If your initial procedure resulted in:
- A high crease eyelid that looks unnatural or too deep
- Uneven eyelid folds, leading to asymmetry
- Excessive scarring, tightness, or discomfort
- Difficulty closing your eyes due to excessive skin removal
You’re not alone. Many individuals experience unsatisfactory results and seek revision double, also known as asian eyelid surgery, to correct past mistakes and achieve a natural, balanced appearance. Wave specializes in asian eyelid anatomy and helping patients achieve natural-looking results that still honor your unique asian beauty.

How Do I Know If I Need Revision Double Eyelid Surgery?
Not every double eyelid surgery achieves the desired outcome. Whether due to surgical errors, healing complications, or changes in aesthetic preferences, revision surgery can correct irregularities and restore balance.
Common Reasons for Eyelid Revision Surgery:
- High Crease Eyelid Correction – A double eyelid crease that is too high can make the eyes look hollow, overly open, or unnatural. Revision surgery lowers the crease to create a softer, more proportionate appearance.
- Fixing a Botched Upper Eyelid Surgery – Poor surgical technique may lead to asymmetry, excessive scarring, or an eyelid fold that disappears over time. Revision surgery can correct these issues for a more balanced look.
- Eyelid Asymmetry Repair – If one eyelid crease is higher or more pronounced than the other, it can create an imbalanced appearance. Revision surgery adjusts the fold height, depth, and definition to match both eyelids.
- Scar Revision & Tissue Repositioning – Some patients experience visible scars or irregular healing from their first surgery. Specialized revision techniques like scar excision, fat grafting, or laser therapy can improve the eyelid’s appearance.
- Ptosis Correction (Drooping Eyelids) – If double eyelid surgery weakens the levator muscles, the eyelid may droop or sag, affecting both vision and aesthetics. Revision surgery can repair muscle function to lift the eyelid.
You may be a candidate for revision double eyelid surgery if:
- You are unhappy with your current eyelid surgery results.
- Your eyelid crease is too high, too low, or has faded.
- You experience tightness, discomfort, or excessive scarring.
- You struggle to close your eyes fully due to skin removal.

Asian vs. Non-Asian Revision Considerations
At Wave Plastic Surgery, we understand that successful revision double eyelid surgery requires expertise in the unique anatomical characteristics of Asian eyes. Our surgeons have extensive experience addressing the specific challenges that arise when correcting previous Asian eyelid procedures.
Why Asian Eyelid Revisions Are Different
Asian eyelids have several distinctive features that impact revision surgery planning and execution. The skin typically contains more subcutaneous tissue and fat, creating different healing patterns compared to non-Asian patients. Additionally, the natural muscle attachments and fold formations vary significantly.
These anatomical differences mean that revision techniques successful for non-Asian patients may not achieve optimal results for Asian patients. Our surgeons have developed specialized approaches that work specifically with Asian eyelid structure.
Common Issues We See in Asian Revision Cases
Many Asian patients seek revision surgery because their original procedure didn’t account for their natural eye anatomy. We frequently treat patients whose initial surgery created results that looked unnatural or didn’t harmonize with their facial features.
- Inappropriate Crease Height: Some patients received procedures that created Western-style creases that don’t suit Asian facial proportions or appear artificial in their daily environment.
- Inadequate Fat Management: The orbital fat in Asian eyelids requires careful handling during surgery. Poor fat management in the original procedure can lead to hollowing, puffiness, or uneven contours that need correction.
- Ignoring Natural Features: Procedures that don’t consider epicanthal folds, natural ptosis, or individual eye shape often require revision to create more harmonious results.
Our Specialized Eyelid Revision Approach
Wave’s revision strategy focuses on creating results that enhance your natural Asian beauty while correcting functional problems from previous surgery. We work with your existing anatomy rather than against it.
Our surgeons evaluate each patient’s unique features, including eye shape, facial proportions, and personal aesthetic goals. This individualized approach ensures revision results that look natural and complement your overall appearance.
We also consider cultural and lifestyle factors in our planning, understanding that our patients want results that work well in their professional and personal environments.
How Can a Surgeon Fix My High Crease Eyelid or Botched Surgery?
Revision double eyelid surgery is a highly customized procedure, requiring careful correction of previous surgical errors while preserving the natural eyelid function.
Advanced Techniques Used in Eyelid Revision Surgery:
- Lowering a High Crease Eyelid – Reduces the height of an overly high fold, restoring a natural, youthful contour.
- Fixing Uneven Eyelids & Restoring Symmetry – Adjusts fold height, depth, and shape for balanced results.
- Scar Revision & Tissue Repositioning – Minimizes visible scarring and improves fold appearance.
- Fat Grafting or Skin Repositioning – Restores volume to hollowed-out eyelids caused by excessive skin removal.
Every patient’s case is unique. Let our expert surgeons develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Schedule a consultation today!
Understanding Your Revision Options: Surgical Approaches
Different eyelid problems require different surgical solutions. At Wave Plastic Surgery, we customize our revision approach based on your specific concerns and anatomy to achieve the best possible outcome.
When Your Crease Is Too High
If your double eyelid crease sits too high on your eyelid, it can create an unnatural appearance or make your eyes look hollow. This is one of the most common revision requests we see.
- Our Approach: We carefully release the existing crease and create a new one at a more appropriate height for your eye shape. This process involves working with the scar tissue from your previous surgery while preserving healthy eyelid function.
- What to Expect: The goal is to create a more natural-looking crease that suits your facial proportions and moves naturally when you blink or close your eyes.
Restoring Faded or Weak Creases
Some patients find that their double eyelid crease has become less defined over time or has partially disappeared. This can happen for various reasons related to healing or the original surgical technique.
- Our Method: We can strengthen and redefine your crease using techniques selected based on your specific situation. The approach depends on factors like your skin thickness, the condition of existing tissue, and your desired final appearance.
- Long-term Success: Our revision techniques are designed to create lasting results that maintain their definition over time.
Correcting Uneven Eyelids
Asymmetrical eyelid creases can significantly impact your overall facial balance. This might involve one crease being higher than the other, different depths, or varying levels of definition.
- Individual Assessment: We evaluate each eyelid separately to understand what corrections are needed. Sometimes one side needs to be raised while the other is lowered, or the depth may need adjustment on both sides.
- Balanced Results: Our goal is to create symmetry that looks natural and complements your unique facial features.
Addressing Visible Scarring
Prominent or poorly healed scars from previous surgery can be both cosmetically concerning and functionally problematic if they restrict natural eyelid movement.
- Scar Management: We remove problematic scar tissue and use refined surgical techniques to minimize the visibility of new incisions. Proper closure and post-operative care help ensure optimal healing.
- Natural Movement: Beyond appearance, we ensure that revised eyelids move naturally and comfortably with all facial expressions.
Functional Corrections
Some patients experience difficulty closing their eyes completely after their initial surgery, which can cause discomfort and long-term problems.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess both the cosmetic and functional aspects of your eyelids to develop a revision plan that addresses all concerns.
- Restored Comfort: Our revision techniques aim to maintain aesthetic improvements while ensuring your eyelids function properly for comfortable daily activities.
Each revision case is unique, and the best approach depends on your individual anatomy, previous surgical history, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we’ll explain which techniques would be most appropriate for your specific situation.

What to Expect During Recovery
Healing from revision double eyelid surgery takes patience and proper aftercare.
Recovery Timeline:
- First 1-2 Weeks – Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Stitches are removed within 5-7 days.
- Weeks 3-6 – Swelling decreases, and the eyelid crease starts to settle naturally.
- Months 3-6 – Final results become visible as scars fade and the eyelids fully adjust to their new shape.
✅ Pro Tip: Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling and promote faster healing.
