Sausage Eyes: Double Eyelid Surgery and Revision for Sausage Eyes
Explore the causes and surgical solutions for sausage eyes, including high incision lines and ptosis, based on academic presentations from the KSPRS.
Let’s take a look at sausage eyes and revision surgery for sausage eyes.
Please note that the photos shown here were taken approximately 6 months after surgery.
There are various reasons why sausage eyes occur.
1. When the incision site is too high
2. When the fixation point is higher than the incision line
3. Due to ptosis (drooping eyelids)
4. In the case of sunken eyes.
As shown, there are several possible cases.
It can also happen when multiple factors are combined.
For instance, it can occur when ptosis was not corrected or when the fixation was set too high.
This content was created based on a topic presented at the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (KSPRS) in November 2018.
The surgical method involves carefully excising the scar tissue and adjusting the fixation to release tension, which resolves the issue.
