About Revisional Eyelid Surgery
Revisional eyelid surgery, also known as secondary eyelid surgery, involves correcting problems or imperfections resulting from previous eyelid procedures. This can include addressing asymmetry, eyelid malposition, scarring, or unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. Dr. Eftekhari employs advanced surgical techniques and meticulous attention to detail to achieve natural-looking and harmonious results.
Ideal Candidates for Revisional Eyelid Surgery
Ideal candidates for revisional eyelid surgery are individuals who have undergone previous eyelid surgery but are unhappy with the outcome or have experienced complications. They should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the potential outcomes of the procedure. During the consultation, Dr. Eftekhari will evaluate your unique situation and discuss whether revisional eyelid surgery is the right option for you.
The Procedure
Revisional eyelid surgery is tailored to each patient’s specific needs and may involve various techniques depending on the nature of the revision required. Common procedures include adjusting the position of the eyelids, removing excess tissue, correcting asymmetry, or addressing scarring. Dr. Eftekhari will carefully explain the proposed surgical plan and answer any questions you may have before proceeding with the procedure.
Recovery and What to Expect
Recovery from revisional eyelid surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing rates.

Dr. Eftekhari will provide detailed post-operative instructions to help facilitate a smooth recovery process. It’s essential to follow these instructions closely and attend follow-up appointments for optimal results.
