Achieving a Lovely Image with Skin-Folding Eyelid Revision (3rd Surgery) and Rhinoplasty :D

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Eyes

1. History: Non-incisional ptosis correction (2 times)

2. Concerns: I want to correct my thick, ‘sausage-like’ double eyelids and asymmetry. I also want to address the sunken appearance of my upper eyelids.

# Nose

1. History: Bridge filler (+) to hide a dorsal hump

2. Concerns: I want to correct the hump and my long, drooping, bulbous nose tip.

* Consultation

# Eyes

1. The primary concerns are weak eye-opening strength and double eyelids that fold thickly like ‘sausages’.

2. Since there is a lack of excess skin, we planned to lower the line using the ‘skin-folding’ (du-jul-tta-gi) technique to correct the sausage appearance. We also planned to improve eye-opening strength with ptosis correction to create a clear, defined look.

3. The sunken upper eyelids were planned to be addressed through fat repositioning.

# Nose

1. The biggest stress was that the long, drooping nose tip made the face look longer and older than her actual age.

2. Since the distance between her eyes is narrow, we decided to choose an implant very carefully to ensure a natural look (preventing the eyes from appearing too close together).

3. The plan was to create a shorter nose than the current one, with an ideal nasolabial angle that doesn’t look too upturned.

4. I want to correct the bulbous tip, but I don’t want it to be too sharp! I think noses like Shin Se-kyung or Go Youn-jung are so beautiful~~

* Surgical Plan

# Eyes

1. Incisional Ptosis Correction (3rd Revision)

- Skin-folding technique, sausage eyelid correction

- Upper eyelid fat repositioning

# Nose

1. Dissolving filler (about 1 week before surgery)

2. Rhinoplasty (Bridge)

- Hump correction

- Silicone implant (Desired a very natural height that doesn’t look obvious or make the eyes look closer together)

3. Rhinoplasty (Tip)

- Long nose & nasolabial angle correction

- Bulbous tip correction (Not too sharp!)

* Post-operative Progress

# Eyes

# By correcting the sausage eyelids and performing ptosis correction, a clear and refreshing line was achieved.

# Through the skin-folding technique, we strived to create eyes as natural as they were before any surgery was ever performed.

# The patient was most concerned about left-right asymmetry and wanted an ‘in-out’ line. We worked hard to create the most natural symmetry possible!

# Nose

1. In the post-operative progress, a natural yet sleek nose tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure (as requested).

2. As the nasolabial angle was improved, the line connecting the nose to the philtrum became more sophisticated and beautiful.

3. The wide alar became slimmer, and the added dimension to the previously flat-looking face created a more youthful effect, which the patient was very satisfied with.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases should double eyelid revision surgery be considered?

Yes, double eyelid revision surgery can be considered when you want to lower and correct a thick double eyelid line that looks like a sausage. It can also be applied when there is little skin laxity, helping to create a natural eye shape.

Is it possible to perform ptosis correction along with sausage eye revision surgery?

Yes, it is possible. To correct sausage eyes and improve weak eye-opening strength, incisional ptosis correction can be performed together to create clear and fresh eyes.

Can a hooked nose and a long nose be corrected simultaneously with rhinoplasty?

Yes, it is possible. A hooked nose can be corrected with bridge rhinoplasty, and a long, drooping nose can be improved to an ideal nasolabial angle with tip rhinoplasty, correcting the impression of a long face.

How can sunken eyelids be resolved?

Yes, sunken eyelids can be resolved through fat repositioning. This can make the eyes look more natural and soft, and improve the sunken appearance.

How are implants selected for rhinoplasty?

Yes, the goal is to select implants with a very natural height so that the eyes do not appear close-set due to a narrow space between them. The decision is made considering the patient's facial proportions and harmony.

Can an overly sharp nose tip be avoided during bulbous nose correction?

Yes, it is possible. The plan can aim to correct a bulbous nose while creating a natural nose tip that is not too sharp. You can refer to nose lines like those of Shin Se-kyung and Go Youn-jung.
