Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Park Sun-hee, head director at Uber Plastic Surgery :)💎

When the upper eyelids become plump like sausages after double eyelid surgery,

we refer to this condition as "sausage eyes."

​

Sausage double eyelids usually occur when the crease line is designed too high

or when the fixation point is placed too high.

Because sausage double eyelids can make your impression look harsh and unnatural,

they often lead to revision surgery.

​

While there are various causes for sausage double eyelids, there are also certain eye conditions that are more prone to developing them.

​

Today, let's find out about the eye conditions that are prone to becoming sausage double eyelids.

​

Are there certain eye types prone to sausage double eyelids?

The type of eyes most prone to sausage double eyelids are protruding eyes.

Because the eyeball protrudes further forward than the orbital bone,

the strength of the levator muscle is generally weaker compared to deep-set eyes,

making it highly likely to develop sausage double eyelids.

With protruding eyes, even if the crease line is designed at the same height, the double eyelid will appear larger.

Therefore, when designing double eyelids for protruding eyes, it is better to lower the line slightly.

Today, we learned about sausage double eyelids.

I will be back next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'sausage double eyelid'?

It refers to a condition where the upper eyelid appears plump and swollen like a sausage after double eyelid surgery. This usually occurs when the double eyelid line is set too high or the fixation point is excessively high, making the impression strong and burdensome, leading to consideration for revision surgery.

Are there specific eye conditions that are prone to developing 'sausage double eyelids'?

Yes, protruding eyes, where the eyeball protrudes more than the orbital bone, are more likely to develop 'sausage double eyelids'. Protruding eyes have relatively weaker levator palpebrae superioris muscles compared to sunken eyes, making the upper eyelid more likely to become plump after surgery.

Why do protruding eyes often develop 'sausage double eyelids'?

This is because the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which lifts the eyelid, is relatively weaker. Additionally, even if the double eyelid line is designed at the same height as a typical eye, protruding eyes tend to create a much larger double eyelid, making them prone to becoming 'sausage eyes'.

What should be considered when performing double eyelid surgery on protruding eyes?

It is advisable to design the double eyelid line slightly lower than the general standard. For protruding eyes, the double eyelid appears larger even with surgery at the same height, so setting the line lower can prevent 'sausage double eyelids' and create a natural eye shape.
