Incisional Ptosis Correction
Male in his 20s with weak eyelid strength and thick skin underwent incisional ptosis correction; results at 2 months show a refined, natural look.
* Basic Information
· Male in his 20s
· Eyelid-opening strength: Very weak
· Skin thickness: Relatively thick
· Skin drooping: Approximately 4–5 mm
· Inner corner: Feels blocked and pointed
· Main concern: Eyes look sleepy and heavy
* Consultation
1. The eyelid-opening strength is very weak. Even when asked to open the eyes with full effort, the muscle engagement is minimal. Satisfactory results from non-incisional ptosis correction alone would be difficult to expect.
2. When a rod was used to estimate the crease line, the extent of skin drooping was significant enough to obscure the eye, making adequate surgical results unlikely. Given the relatively thick skin, there is also a high likelihood the result would loosen quickly.

Incisional Ptosis Correction
* Post-Operative Progress
Looking more refined and refreshed :) Once the swelling subsides a bit more, a natural, understated crease line is expected to emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is incisional ptosis correction necessary?
Incisional ptosis correction may be necessary when the strength to open the eyes is very weak, or when the skin is thick and saggy, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory results with non-incisional methods. It is especially considered when the eyes look sleepy or stuffy.
Why choose incisional ptosis correction instead of non-incisional ptosis correction?
It is difficult to expect satisfactory results with non-incisional ptosis correction alone if the strength to open the eyes is weak, or if there is a lot of sagging skin and thick skin. In such cases, the incisional method may be more effective.
How long is the recovery period after incisional ptosis correction?
A photo taken 2 months after the surgery was presented, and a natural line is expected to appear as the swelling further subsides. Although there are individual differences, initial swelling gradually subsides, and it takes time to become natural.
What are the possible side effects after incisional ptosis correction surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after incisional ptosis correction surgery. This may vary from person to person, so caution is required.
What effects can be expected from incisional ptosis correction?
Through incisional ptosis correction, you can expect the effect of improving sleepy and stuffy eyes to look more sophisticated and refreshed. Once the swelling subsides, a natural and unburdening line will be formed.
