Men’s Monolid Ptosis Correction (Revision Surgery)
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a sharper, more defined look through incisional ptosis correction and canthoplasty after a failed non-incisional surgery.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Eye-opening strength: Weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Primary complaints & goals: I previously had non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty, but the lines have completely unraveled and loosened. It is still uncomfortable to open my eyes.
* Consultation
# The patient was stressed because the previous ptosis correction was insufficient, making the eyes appear small.
# He requested a natural ‘monolid’ feel while ensuring the line fixation is secure.
# We planned to open up the blocked outer corners to create a more refreshed and open appearance.
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)
# Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty (Dual Canthoplasty)
* Post-operative Progress
# The eyes definitely look larger and more distinct compared to before the surgery, right? The eye shape has become much clearer.
# By opening up the previously blocked outer corners, the eyes now appear longer and more refreshed.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is male double eyelid surgery revision necessary?
If the line from a previous non-incisional ptosis correction has loosened or the strength to open the eyes is still weak, causing discomfort, revision surgery may be considered. The 20-something male in this case also underwent revision surgery because the line from his previous surgery had loosened.
What surgical method was used for the revision surgery?
In this case, incisional ptosis correction revision surgery was performed to address the issues from the previous surgery and ensure firm line fixation. Additionally, lateral canthoplasty and epicanthoplasty were planned together to open the blocked outer corner and create a more open eye look.
What changes can be expected after double eyelid surgery revision?
After surgery, you can expect the eyes to appear larger and clearer, with a more defined eye shape. In this case, the blocked outer corner was opened, making the eyes appear longer and more refreshed.
What are the effects of lateral canthoplasty and epicanthoplasty?
Lateral canthoplasty and epicanthoplasty are surgeries that open the outer corner of the eye to make the eyes appear longer and more open. In this case, lateral canthoplasty and epicanthoplasty successfully opened the blocked outer corner, resulting in longer and more refreshed-looking eyes.
Are there any side effects or complications after surgery?
As with all surgeries, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
