Incision Ptosis Correction

* Basic Information

· Female in her teens

· Eye-opening strength: Quite weak (Asymmetry: the left eye appears noticeably smaller)

· Skin sagging: Approximately 4 mm

· Skin thickness: Medium

· Request: A natural look with clearly defined eye contours!

​

* Consultation

1. You are raising your eyebrows quite a bit. Because the skin sagging and ptosis both appear moderate, incision ptosis correction would be the most appropriate approach.

2. When left-right asymmetry is present, incision ptosis correction is often more advantageous for achieving a balanced result.

3. Worried that an incision will leave scars or make your eyes look too sharp? Not at all. Even with an incision, we can absolutely create a sufficiently natural-looking line.

4. Since your lacrimal lake is already well exposed, an inner epicanthoplasty is not necessary.

Incision Ptosis Correction

* Post-Operative Progress

· Notice how the eyebrows that were constantly raised have come down significantly now that the eyes open using their own muscle strength alone?

· To achieve maximum left-right symmetry, the left eye was corrected slightly more than the right.

· Even after surgery, contact lenses — especially colored lenses — are not good for the eyeball or eyelid. You are already beautiful without them ^^;

· Incision ptosis correction is a considerably difficult procedure. It is essential to have surgery performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.

* Key Points

1. When is incision ptosis correction recommended?

: When there is significant left-right asymmetry in ptosis (fine micro-adjustments to restore symmetry require incision ptosis correction)

: When the degree of ptosis is severe (non-incision ptosis correction has its limitations in these cases)

: When skin sagging is present and appropriate skin excision is needed

​

2. Will incision ptosis correction make my eyes look harsh or create an unflattering crease line? I am also worried about scarring.

: If the crease line is designed to suit your individual eye shape — for example, the optimal line height differs between prominent and deep-set eyes — it will never look harsh or overdone. And if the skin edges are carefully aligned during closure, scarring is nothing to worry about!

For consultations and surgery, always see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is incisional ptosis correction necessary?

Incisional ptosis correction is primarily recommended when the strength to open the eyes is significantly weak due to blepharoptosis, when there is severe left-right asymmetry, or when skin sagging accompanies the condition and excision is required. It is effective when non-incisional methods have limitations in correction.

I'm worried about scarring or my eyes looking fierce after incisional ptosis correction.

No, that is not the case. If the line is delicately designed to suit your eyes and sutured along the skin texture, you can reduce concerns about scarring and create natural-looking eyes that do not appear fierce. Be sure to consult with a specialist.

Is it okay to wear colored contact lenses after surgery?

No, it is best to avoid wearing lenses, especially colored contact lenses, after surgery as they are not good for the eyeballs and eyelids. Please refrain from wearing lenses for eye health during the recovery period.

Is incisional ptosis correction a difficult surgery?

Yes, incisional ptosis correction is considered a quite difficult surgery. Therefore, it is crucial to have the surgery performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, and a suitable plan for the individual should be established through thorough consultation.

Can asymmetry also be improved with incisional ptosis correction?

Yes, incisional ptosis correction is often advantageous for correcting left-right asymmetry. Especially when fine adjustments are needed to achieve symmetry, the incisional method can be essential.
