Achieving a Refreshed Look with Ptosis Revision Surgery! (+ Forehead Fat Grafting)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Medical History: Partial incision ptosis correction, epicanthoplasty

# Current Status & Requirements: The double eyelid lines have become loose and asymmetrical over the past two years. I want to create clear, defined double eyelid lines.

# I also want to improve my narrow and flat forehead.

* Consultation

# Although she had previously undergone double eyelid and ptosis correction surgery, the lines had become loose and asymmetrical. Furthermore, the loosened lines were folding like ‘sausage eyes’ whenever she opened and closed her eyes.

# We planned to create clear lines through incisional ptosis revision surgery.

# For the flat forehead, we decided to improve it with fat grafting.

* Surgical Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)

# Forehead Fat Grafting

* Post-operative Progress

# During surgery, we found severe internal sutures and scar tissue. We removed and organized them as much as possible before creating new lines.

# By organizing the loose lines and correcting the asymmetry, a much clearer line was achieved.

# The patient is very satisfied as her overall impression looks much cleaner after improving the narrow, flat forehead through fat grafting :)

Can revision ptosis correction and forehead fat grafting be performed simultaneously?
