Incisional Ptosis Correction

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Eye-opening strength: Very weak

# Due to weak eye-opening strength, the patient has a very tired and sleepy appearance.

# Lifting the eyebrows to open the eyes has caused sunken upper eyelids and severe multiple skin folds.

* Consultation

# Sleepy appearance (The eye-opening strength is indeed very weak).

# Thin, sagging skin has led to the formation of multiple creases.

# Lifting the eyebrows further hollows out the eyelids, which in turn makes opening the eyes even more difficult—a repeating vicious cycle.

* Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Correction (+ Fat Repositioning)

* Post-operative Progress

# A natural double eyelid line was created, and the eye-opening strength was corrected simultaneously, resulting in a clearer and brighter impression.

# The sunken areas of the upper eyelids were addressed naturally through fat repositioning.

# Usually, there is fat inside the eyelids that can be redistributed to achieve appropriate volume. If there is a fundamental lack of fat, additional fat grafting can be considered!

# Beyond the aesthetic improvement, the patient was extremely satisfied because opening her eyes became much more comfortable, even feeling as though her vision had improved. This made me very happy as well!

# Many people worry that an incisional method will look unnatural, too thick, or awkward. However, if the surgery is performed according to the correct indications, there is no need to worry about scarring or lack of naturalness. Just like this patient :)
