Monolid Ptosis Correction + Mango Epicanthoplasty
A woman in her 20s underwent non-incision ptosis correction and Mango epicanthoplasty for a sharper, natural monolid look with improved symmetry at 3 months post-op.
* Basic Information
· Age: Woman in her 20s
· Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
· Skin drooping: 2–3 mm
· Skin thickness: Moderate
· Request: Sharp, defined eye contour with a natural monolid look
* Consultation
· The patient preferred a monolid appearance over a prominent double eyelid line.
· There is noticeable left-right asymmetry (the left eye appears smaller, doesn't it?). We explained that surgery can improve the asymmetry to some degree, but complete correction has its limits.
· The inner and outer corner releases were planned conservatively to avoid an overdone result.

Non-incision ptosis correction
Mango epicanthoplasty (inner & outer corner release)
* Post-Operative Progress
Does it look like a sharper, more defined eye contour while still maintaining a natural monolid feel? The asymmetry hasn't been completely resolved, but the difference is noticeably reduced compared to before. The eyes that once looked heavy and dull now appear larger, and the overall look has become much more refined. :)

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of surgery is double eyelid-free ptosis correction?
Double eyelid-free ptosis correction is a surgery that improves the power of opening the eyes without a double eyelid line, making the eyes clearer. In this case, a non-incisional method was used to create a natural eye shape.
What are the effects of Mango Epicanthoplasty?
Mango Epicanthoplasty is a surgery that includes epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty, which expands the horizontal length of the eyes to make dull-looking eyes bigger and more refreshed. In this case, it was conservatively planned to avoid overcorrection.
Can eye asymmetry also be corrected?
Yes, eye asymmetry can be improved to some extent. In this case, it was confirmed that the left-right asymmetry was reduced after surgery, but we explained in advance that there might be limitations to the correction.
What kind of eye shape can I expect after double eyelid-free ptosis correction?
After double eyelid-free ptosis correction, you can expect the effect of clearer and more defined eyes even without a double eyelid line. In this case, the previously dull-looking eyes appeared larger and the overall image became more sophisticated.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after surgery. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
