Considering Double Eyelid Revision at SEMI in Korea? Talk to Dr. Park Sang-hyun About Bulky Creases and Uneven Eyelids
“The swelling has gone down, so why does my eyelid crease still look so thick?” “One crease is wider than the other, and I keep trying to hide it in photos.” If you are unhappy with your double eyelid surgery, you may want another operation while worrying that you still will not like the result. SEMI Plastic Surgery in Korea is a clinic you can explore for these concerns.
SEMI focuses on eyelid surgery and revision procedures. Its founder and medical director, Dr. Park Sang-hyun, treats both first-time eyelid surgery patients and people seeking revision. Uneven creases, multiple folds, bulky-looking eyelids, and changes following eyelid muscle correction are among the concerns you can discuss. To request an appointment at SEMI, register your interest on this website. Start by telling us what you would like to improve, then explore consultation availability.
What eyelid concerns can you discuss at SEMI?
Some people want a high crease made lower. Others are bothered by a scar when they close their eyes. Some simply feel that their eyes look different after surgery but struggle to explain why. Alongside double eyelid revision, SEMI’s services include eyelid muscle correction, assessment of drooping upper eyelids, and revision of inner or outer eye-corner surgery. If you have several concerns, you can raise them together during your consultation.
For example, eyes that look uneven may have different crease heights, but the clinician may also need to assess how the eyelids open. Looking at the crease alone does not always explain the whole picture. Tell the doctor both what bothers you about the appearance and whether opening or closing your eyes feels uncomfortable.
Meeting Dr. Park Sang-hyun
Dr. Park Sang-hyun is SEMI Plastic Surgery’s founder and medical director, a graduate of Yonsei University College of Medicine, and a specialist in plastic surgery. His background also includes an adjunct teaching role in plastic surgery at Yonsei University and academic committee work in an eyelid surgery research group. His practice covers primary eyelid surgery and revision, including consultations about existing creases, bulky folds, and an appearance that feels unbalanced after surgery.
You do not need medical terminology to explain what you want. “I would like a lower crease, but I do not want my eyelids to look more hollow,” or “I do not need much bigger eyes; I just want the two sides to look more alike” are clear starting points. Photos from before your first operation can also help Dr. Park understand your original eye shape and the features you would like to keep.
Bulky creases and multiple folds need more than another incision
A thick-looking fold: start by understanding what is behind it. SEMI offers assessment and revision for bulky eyelid folds, sometimes called “sausage eyelids.” A high crease, tissue thickness, and scarring can all be relevant. The fullness you see is not necessarily excess fat. Explain how your eyelids changed after surgery without assuming that more skin or fat must be removed.
Several folds appear when you open your eyes, or the original crease has loosened. Multiple creases, loosening folds, and asymmetry are also within SEMI’s revision consultation scope. The problem may be subtle when you look straight ahead but more noticeable when you look down or blink. Along with photographs, showing the doctor these movements can help explain exactly what bothers you.
You have had eyelid muscle correction, but your eyes still do not look right. SEMI also addresses concerns involving overcorrection or undercorrection following this type of surgery. Bring your previous surgical records if available. The clinician may need to assess both eyelid position and how your eyes open; looking tired alone is not a reason to repeat or strengthen the correction.
Can you have revision at SEMI soon after your first operation?
You can ask for a consultation, but that does not mean surgery should happen straight away. SEMI’s revision assessment considers whether swelling has settled and the operated tissues have softened. Revision may generally be discussed around six months after the original procedure, depending on healing. Functional problems or other special circumstances need an individual decision about timing.
If you are still recovering, make a note of your surgery date, the procedure you had, and any recent changes. This helps distinguish problems that have been present throughout recovery from something new. Significant difficulty closing your eyes, eye pain, or changes in vision need prompt medical attention. Do not keep waiting for swelling to resolve or delay care until a trip to Korea.
When planning your visit, allow time for more than the operation itself. Consultation, examinations, follow-up appointments, and stitch removal may all affect the length of your stay. Some swelling can remain after stitches are removed, and eyelid shape and scars can continue to change. Stitch removal is not the same as complete recovery.
How much does double eyelid revision at SEMI cost?
It makes sense to ask about cost, especially when flights and accommodation are part of the budget. However, adjusting a crease is different from combining that adjustment with scar treatment, eyelid muscle correction, or eye-corner revision. When asking SEMI about fees, explain how many operations you have had and what concerns you most. That gives the clinic more to work with than a general request for a revision price.
When submitting an appointment request through this website, you can include your budget and the fees you would like explained. Before agreeing to a plan, check the clinic’s quotation in Korean won and whether it covers surgery, anesthesia, examinations, medication, stitch removal, and follow-up. Confirm any interpretation fees and taxes, and budget separately for travel and accommodation.
Revision surgery can still involve swelling, bruising, infection, scarring, or remaining asymmetry. A completely scar-free result or correction of every concern in one operation cannot be guaranteed. Discuss the changes you would be comfortable with and any worries before committing to a surgery date.
