Partial Incision Eye Correction + Medial Epicanthoplasty
Teenage patient with weak eyelid strength and a constricted inner corner underwent partial incision eye correction and medial epicanthoplasty, achieving fresh, defined eyes at one month post-op.
* Basic Information
· Age group: Teenage female
· Eyelid opening strength: Moderately weak
· Skin thickness: Moderate
· Skin drooping: Approximately 2–3 mm
· Inner canthal fold: Constricted and pointed.
· Main concerns: Eyes appear sleepy and constricted.
* Consultation
1. When marking the double eyelid line with a probe, there is minimal skin drooping and the desired shape comes through nicely. Since eyelid opening strength is slightly weak, we can create the crease with non-incision eye correction.
2. The slightly puffy appearance of the upper eyelid can be improved with fat removal.
* Treatment Plan

A very fresh and defined eye shape has been achieved. :)

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is partial incision ptosis correction suitable?
Partial incision ptosis correction can be considered when the eye-opening strength is weak, there isn't much skin sagging, and it's suitable for creating the desired eye line. The patient in this case had moderately weak eye-opening strength and about 2-3mm of skin sagging.
What effects can be expected from epicanthoplasty?
Epicanthoplasty can help make the eyes look more open and refreshed by improving the stuffy or pointed inner corner (canthus). In this case, epicanthoplasty was planned to improve the stuffy inner corner.
What is the recovery period after partial incision ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty?
The post does not specifically mention the recovery period after surgery. However, it shows a refreshed and clear eye line completed at the 1-month mark after surgery. General recovery periods vary greatly by individual, so it is important to consult with a specialist.
Is it possible to remove fat from the eyelids during ptosis correction surgery?
Yes, it is possible. If the eyelids feel a bit puffy, you can discuss and proceed with fat removal together to create a more improved eye line. In this case, eyelid fat removal was included in the consultation.
What side effects can occur after ptosis correction surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects can vary by individual, and it is necessary to receive sufficient explanation and be cautious before surgery.
