Fix-up Ptosis Correction (Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Partial Incision Ptosis Correction)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 40s

# Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak

# Skin thickness: Thick

# Eyelids: Bulging due to excessive fat

# Primary complaints & goals: My eyes aren’t small, but they always look swollen because of the thick skin and fat on the eyelids. I want a natural crease without a drastic change in my impression.

* Consultation

# In cases where the skin is thick and fatty, performing only a ‘ptosis correction’ can cause the eyebrows (which were previously raised to help open the eyes) to drop significantly. This carries the risk of making the eyelids look even more bulging and the overall impression too heavy or burdensome after surgery.

# Therefore, it is advisable to perform an endoscopic forehead lift simultaneously to ensure the eyebrows remain in an ideal position after the procedure.

# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Ideal eye shapes are achieved only when there is harmony between these two areas!

# By using the partial incision ptosis correction method, we can achieve stronger adhesion than non-incisional methods and remove fat at the same time, resulting in a much more refreshed appearance.

* Post-operative Progress

1. What is the first change you notice? Even though a natural double eyelid has been created, the eyelids do not look bulging at all, right? Instead, a very clean and refreshed line has been formed that looks even lighter than before the surgery.

2. Notice how the unevenness between the eyebrows and forehead has disappeared? It looks as if fat grafting and Botox were performed! Simply releasing the muscles that hold the eyebrows tightly during a forehead lift can improve the forehead contour this beautifully!

Always consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for consultations and surgery!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of surgery is Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

Fix-Up Ptosis Correction is a complex surgery that combines endoscopic forehead lift and partial incision ptosis correction. It aims to create natural and refreshed eyes by considering individual characteristics such as eyelid thickness and fat volume, harmonizing the eyes and forehead.

Why is a forehead lift performed with ptosis correction?

A forehead lift is performed with ptosis correction to maintain the ideal position of the eyebrows. If the skin is thick and fatty, simple ptosis correction alone can cause the eyebrows to drop, making the eyelids appear more bulging and darker. A forehead lift harmonizes the eyes and forehead.

What are the advantages of partial incision ptosis correction?

Partial incision ptosis correction has the advantage of increasing adhesion compared to non-incisional methods. Additionally, it helps to remove fat from the eyelids, making the eyes appear more refreshed and lighter after surgery.

What changes can I expect after Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

After Fix-Up Ptosis Correction, you can expect a natural double eyelid line, and the eyelids will not appear bulging but rather lighter. Additionally, the forehead lift can release the muscles that strongly hold the eyebrows, leading to a smoother forehead contour.

Are there any side effects that can occur after surgery?

Yes, like all surgeries, side effects can occur after Fix-Up Ptosis Correction. Bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may vary depending on the individual, and it is important to fully consult with a specialist before surgery to understand the precautions.
