Eyelid revision is a procedure that involves correcting or addressing any issues that have arisen from a previous blepharoplasty eyelid surgery . The surgery is more difficult to perform and is more complicated than an initial eyelid revision surgery, since the site of the procedure has been operated on before. The reasons for eyelid revision surgeries include the following Contour abnormalities Asymmetry Unusually high eyelid height ref cite web url http www.ophsource.org periodicals ophtha article S0161 6420 99 90110 0 abstract title Stabilization of eyelid height after aponeurotic ptosis repair work Elsevier date 1999 03 01 accessdate 2010 07 21 ref The procedure is known to have more complications and issues than initial eyelid surgeries due to the presence of excess scar tissue at the surgery site. Contour Abnormalities Contour abnormalities are also a common cause of eyelid revision surgery. Contour abnormalities are often the result of poor wound closure during the procedure. Asymmetry One of the most frequent complications that arise from an initial blepharoplasty eyelid surgery is asymmetry, which are often a result of poor markings by the surgeon prior to operation. Unnaturally High Eyelid Height Unusually high eyelid heights can make the results of an original eyelid revision procedure appear unnatural. Thus, an initial blepharoplasty may need revision if there is an unusually high eyelid height that is formed. Ptosis One of the most troublesome complications of initial blepharoplasty eyelid surgery is the surgeon discovering the patient has Ptosis or a drooping eyelid after the surgery has been performed. It is also possible for a patient to develop ptosis as a result of an initial eyelid surgery operation. Both require eyelid revision surgeries. Since ptosis patients need correction of delicate anatomical tissues and structures, eyelid revision surgery on ptosis patients is considered one of the more difficult surgical procedures to perform. ref cite jo ... more details

This is thought to be a form of localized angioedema , or rapid accumulation of fluid in the tissues. Recurrent episodes lead to thin and atrophic skin. Damage to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle causes ptosis eyelid ptosis , or drooping of the eyelid, when the muscle can no longer hold the eyelid up. Causes Blepharochalasis is idiopathic in most cases, i.e., the cause is unknown.
