A revisional eyelid lift is a surgical procedure that corrects the results of a previous blepharoplasty. Renowned oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Shoib Myint is a world-class leader in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyes and face. His unique and rare skill set qualifies him as one of the best surgeons to perform revisional eyelid surgery in the United States. If you're dissatisfied with your blepharoplasty results, want to diminish post-surgical scarring, or wish to make minor improvements, contact Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV today to meet with Dr. Myint. He'd be happy to discuss your unique concerns and build a custom treatment plan to help reveal natural-looking results.

Men and women alike may be ideal candidates for revisional eyelid surgery if they're unhappy with the results of their initial blepharoplasty. They may also consider this procedure to maintain their outcomes from an eyelid lift that was performed ten or more years prior. Not all revisional eyelid lifts are performed due to surgeon error, and during your consultation with Dr. Myint, he can evaluate your concerns to determine if revision surgery is your best option.

Revisional eyelid surgery is performed at Myint Oculo Facial Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas in one of our AAAASF-accredited operating rooms. Depending on whether the upper, lower, or both eyelids are being addressed, blepharoplasty revision can take up to three hours to complete. Dr. Myint will use various techniques to correct insufficient tissue removal, tissue shortage from overcorrection, and unsightly scarring in order to achieve a more natural contour to the eyelids.

After revision blepharoplasty, you can expect to experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, but these symptoms are normal and should dissipate as you heal. Dr. Myint will remove your stitches after about 4 – 5 days and will set up another follow-up exam about one week after your surgery. During this time, we recommend that you refrain from strenuous activities so as to promote optimal healing. Any pain or inflammation can typically be eased with over-the-counter pain medication, and most patients are able to resume normal activities after about 7 – 10 days. 

What is a revisional eyelid lift?

Can you redo blepharoplasty?

Absolutely. The main objective of a revisional eyelid lift (or surgery) is to correct a blepharoplasty that didn’t achieve the result you wanted.

How many times can you get blepharoplasty?

Technically, there’s no limit to the number of surgeries you can have for an upper or lower eyelid lift. The key, however, is to make sure that your surgeon is highly skilled and experienced like Dr. Myint at Myint Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, NV.

How long does blepharoplasty last?
