If you are unhappy with your initial eyelid surgery—whether due to lingering puffiness, asymmetry, scarring, or changes in vision—eyelid surgery revision in Scottsdale, AZ offers a second chance to achieve the natural, refreshed results you originally envisioned. We offer cosmetic revision surgery, and do not offer reconstructive revision. At Forma Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. David C. Yao, MD, FACS, Dr. Vas N.

What is Eyelid Surgery Revision?

Eyelid surgery revision is a secondary procedure designed to correct or refine the results of a previous blepharoplasty. Unlike primary eyelid surgery, which focuses on lifting droopy lids or reducing puffiness, revision surgery addresses complications or unsatisfactory outcomes from the initial procedure. Please note that we offer cosmetic revision surgery only—we do not offer reconstructive revision. This may include under- or overcorrection, residual puffiness, hollowing, asymmetry, scarring, or even functional problems like difficulty closing the eyes. Revision blepharoplasty requires advanced skill and a customized approach, taking into account previous surgical changes and the patient’s unique anatomy.

Eyelid Surgery Revision Overview

Patients seek eyelid revision surgery in Scottsdale for several key reasons. Some are unhappy with cosmetic results, such as uneven contours, hollowed eyes, or unnatural creases. Others may experience functional issues that impact comfort or vision, including eyelid tightness, sagging, or trouble blinking completely. Over time, aging can also introduce new concerns, making revision necessary to maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance. At Forma Plastic Surgery, your surgeon will develop a highly personalized plan to correct the specific concerns that affect your appearance or quality of life.

Consultation and Preparation

Your revision journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Forma Plastic Surgery. During this visit, your surgeon will review your medical and surgical history, examine your eyelids in detail, and discuss your aesthetic and functional goals. Because revision procedures are more complex, your surgeon may request previous surgical records and use digital imaging to evaluate your anatomy and simulate potential outcomes. Careful planning is essential to creating a successful and safe revision plan. You’ll also receive pre-operative guidelines to follow, such as medication adjustments, smoking cessation, and instructions to prepare your home for recovery.

What Happens During
Eyelid Surgery Revision?

The surgical approach to eyelid revision depends on the specific issue being addressed. It may involve removing or repositioning residual fat, tightening or releasing scar tissue, adjusting skin and muscle, or smoothing uneven areas. In some cases, grafts or fillers may be used to restore volume and contour. Surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity. The goal is to create a refreshed, symmetrical, and natural-looking appearance while preserving eyelid function and eye health.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery Revision

Recovery from eyelid surgery revision is often similar to your initial blepharoplasty but can vary depending on the extent of correction. Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and a sensation of tightness for the first one to two weeks. Cold compresses and prescribed medications help manage discomfort. By 10–14 days, many patients feel comfortable returning to social and professional activities, though subtle improvements may continue for several months as healing progresses. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions, and scheduled follow-up appointments will ensure your healing stays on track. The Forma Plastic Surgery team will support you throughout every phase of your recovery.

Eyelid Surgery Revision Results
Expectation Timeline

Initial results typically appear within the first two weeks, once swelling and bruising diminish. Over the next several months, the final results become more defined as your eyelids settle into their new contours. A successful eyelid revision should restore a more natural, rested appearance—free from the overdone or asymmetrical look that may have resulted from your first surgery. Results are long-lasting, although future aging will continue to affect the skin and soft tissues over time. Proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your rejuvenated look for years.

Ideal Candidate for Eyelid Surgery Revision

You may be an ideal candidate for eyelid surgery revision in Scottsdale if you are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are unhappy with the outcome of a previous eyelid procedure. Common issues include lingering puffiness, hollow or sunken appearance, uneven eyelid shape, visible scars, difficulty closing the eyes, or drooping that impacts your vision or confidence. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your goals and anatomy to determine whether revision is appropriate and what options are best suited to deliver the desired improvements.

Please note: Eyelid Surgery Revision is a highly specialized procedure that requires careful consideration. Not all patients are accepted. Candidacy is determined on a case-by-case basis, and a consultation is required to evaluate your candidacy.
