Double eyelid revision in Los Angeles by Dr. K. Charles Kim — Seoul-trained specialist in Asian blepharoplasty revision and correction.
Book ConsultationDouble eyelid revision in Los Angeles by Dr. K. Charles Kim addresses suboptimal results from a previous eyelid surgery — including asymmetric creases, crease loss, multiple creases, too-high or too-low fold placement, hollowness, or scarring. Revision blepharoplasty is among the most technically demanding procedures in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Kim's combined training under Dr. Robert Flowers and at Seoul's BK and Jelim Clinics positions him as a sought-after second opinion for patients whose original surgery did not meet expectations.
Revision strategy is determined by the nature of the original result. Dr. Kim may release scarred adhesions, reposition orbital fat to restore lost volume, lower or raise the crease height, recreate a missing fold using fixation to the levator aponeurosis, or correct asymmetry through micro-precise adjustments. In severe scar cases, fat grafting and local flaps are used to restore tissue. Every revision is approached as a unique reconstruction, planned with realistic expectations during a detailed consultation.
Days 1–10: Bruising and swelling are typically greater than primary surgery due to revision scarring; sutures removed at day 5–7.
Weeks 3–6: Most visible swelling resolves and the new crease begins to settle.
Months 6–12: Final crease shape and scar maturation occur progressively; revision results take longer than primary surgery to refine.
Yes. A fading or disappearing crease is a common reason for revision, and the procedure can re-establish a stable, well-defined fold. Dr. Kim uses techniques designed to create a lasting, natural crease tailored to your eyelid anatomy.
Yes — the goal of double eyelid revision is a refined, natural-looking crease that suits your eye shape and facial features. Drawing on his training under Dr. Robert Flowers, Dr. Kim focuses on natural enhancement rather than an artificial appearance.
Yes. Correcting asymmetry between the eyelids is one of the most common reasons for double eyelid revision, achieved by adjusting crease height and shape for better balance. Dr. Kim carefully analyzes both eyes to create symmetric, natural-looking creases.
Patients seek double eyelid revision when a previous surgery left a crease that is too high, asymmetric, faded, multiple, or unnatural-looking. Revision corrects these issues and restores balance. Dr. Kim's deep training in Asian eyelid anatomy makes him well suited to these delicate corrections.
Most double eyelid revision patients have their sutures removed within about a week, with major swelling and bruising easing over 2 to 3 weeks. The crease continues to refine over several months. Dr. Kim guides each revision patient through recovery for the most natural result.
You may be a good candidate for double eyelid revision if you are unhappy with the crease height, shape, symmetry, or naturalness of a prior double eyelid procedure. Revision is more complex than primary surgery and benefits from specialized expertise. Dr. Kim personally evaluates your eyelids to determine the best corrective approach.
Double eyelid revision can correct an uneven, too-high, too-low, or fading crease, as well as asymmetry, scarring, or an unnatural result from a previous eyelid surgery. It restores a natural, balanced fold. Trained under Dr. Robert Flowers — a pioneer of modern Asian eyelid surgery — Dr. Kim brings exceptional expertise to complex revision cases in Los Angeles.
