3rd Incisional Ptosis Correction Revision Surgery

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Medical History: Natural adhesion double eyelid surgery, incisional double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty

# Current Status & Requirements: The right double eyelid line has become loose, causing asymmetry. The patient desires a clear and defined double eyelid line.

* Consultation

# Although she had undergone double eyelid surgery twice before, the lines had unraveled and become loose.

# The muscle strength for opening the right eye, where the fold had unraveled, was weak. When eye-opening strength is weak, folds tend to loosen easily. We decided to improve the asymmetry through ptosis correction.

# Since she wanted a refreshing ‘in-out’ line, we planned to create a vivid line through incisional ptosis correction revision surgery.

# The epicanthoplasty area also appeared somewhat closed off, so we planned to perform a revision epicanthoplasty for a more open look.

* Surgical Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Correction (3rd Revision)

# Epicanthoplasty Revision

* Post-operative Progress

# A clear ‘in-out’ line that is visible from the inner corner has been achieved.

# Not only the eyes but the overall impression looks much sharper, and the patient is very satisfied :)

In what cases is revision ptosis correction surgery necessary?

Revision ptosis correction surgery may be considered if the double eyelid line has loosened or come undone after a previous double eyelid surgery, or if asymmetry has occurred due to weakened eye-opening strength. In this case, it was performed to improve asymmetry caused by the weakened eye-opening strength of the loosened right eye.

Is a third revision surgery possible?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case had undergone two previous double eyelid surgeries, but achieved satisfactory results with a third incisional ptosis correction revision surgery to improve the loosened line and asymmetry.

What kind of line can be created with incisional ptosis correction revision surgery?

Incisional ptosis correction revision surgery can create the line desired by the patient. In this case, a fresh in-out line that is clear from the front was successfully achieved as the goal.

Why was revision epicanthoplasty performed together?

Revision epicanthoplasty may be performed together if the existing epicanthal fold appears stuffy or requires additional improvement. In this case, the patient's epicanthal fold also appeared stuffy, so it was planned to open it further.

What side effects can occur after surgery?

Various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after surgery, and these may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required. You must consult sufficiently with a plastic surgeon.
