Why can't I close my eyes fully after revision eye surgery?

​

If you undergo incisional double eyelid surgery multiple times, the repeated excision of skin can lead to a shortage of eyelid skin, making it difficult to close your eyes completely.

Alternatively, if you have had ptosis correction surgery, adhesions can form around the eye-opening muscles,

causing the muscle tension to remain constantly elevated, which can also prevent the eyes from closing fully.

​

In fact, simply injecting local anesthesia into the eyelid skin can temporarily prevent the eyes from closing completely.

​Therefore, if your eyes do not close fully right after surgery when there is swelling, it is likely due to the swelling and the anesthetic.

An accurate assessment should be made after the swelling has completely subsided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the biggest reason why my eyes don't close after revision eye surgery?

Yes, the main reason is insufficient skin due to repeated incision surgeries. If you undergo incisional double eyelid surgery multiple times and repeatedly cut the skin, the eyelid skin may become insufficient, leading to the phenomenon where the eyes do not close completely.

Can my eyes still not close completely after ptosis correction surgery?

Yes, it can happen. If adhesions form around the muscle that opens the eye during ptosis correction surgery, the muscle's tension may remain constantly increased, leading to symptoms where the eyes do not close completely.

If my eyes don't close immediately after surgery, should I have revision surgery right away?

No, an accurate evaluation should be made after the swelling has subsided. Immediately after surgery, the eyes may temporarily not close completely due to anesthesia and swelling in the surgical area, so it is best to check the condition after a certain period when the swelling has gone down.

Can my eyes not close completely just from an anesthetic injection?

Yes, that's correct. Our eyelid skin is very sensitive and thin, so even a simple anesthetic injection can temporarily cause the eyes to not close completely. Therefore, you don't need to be too anxious about symptoms immediately after surgery.
