Real Story 3: Comprehensive Eye, Nose, and Facial Transformation
A detailed case study of a woman in her 20s who underwent incisional ptosis correction, rhinoplasty for nostril reduction, and full-face fat grafting.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Eyes
- Eye-opening strength: Very weak
- Thin, sagging skin due to atopic dermatitis
- Multiple eyelid creases caused by frequent rubbing and weak levator muscles
- Bulging fat under the eyes creating a hollow, tired appearance
# Nose
- Low nasal bridge and very blunt nasal tip
- Excessive nostril visibility (flaring)
* Diagnosis of Current Condition
# Eyes
- Severe sagging and multiple creases due to frequent eye rubbing from chronic atopy since childhood.
- Strong epicanthal folds (Mongolian folds) blocking the inner corners, making the eyes look stifled.
# Nose
- Stress caused by a low bridge and highly visible nostrils.
- There are three main factors contributing to the excessive nostril exposure: (1) retracted alae (nostril wings), (2) a drooping columella, and (3) naturally large and wide nostrils.
* Desired Changes
# Eyes
- Planned for a clearer and more refreshed impression through ptosis correction.
- Planned to eliminate the tired look caused by bulging under-eye fat via under-eye fat repositioning.
# Nose
- Lowering the alae and correcting the drooping columella to effectively reduce nostril size. Additionally, reducing the width of flared nostrils through alar reduction.
# Face Shape
- Wants to improve the aged and tired look caused by a lack of facial volume.
* Surgical Plan
# Eyes
- Incisional Ptosis Correction
- Epicanthoplasty
- Under-eye Fat Repositioning
# Nose
- Rhinoplasty (Bridge): Silicone implant
- Nasal Tip: Alar rim graft (nostril lowering), columella correction, alar reduction
# Full-face Fat Grafting

* Post-operative Progress
# Eyes
- With the creation of natural double eyelid lines and the correction of eye-opening strength, the patient now has a much clearer and brighter gaze.
- By opening up the blocked epicanthal folds, the eyes look significantly more open and elongated.
- The tired look caused by under-eye fat has been resolved, resulting in a much cleaner appearance.
# Nose
- As the blunt nasal tip was refined, the nostril visibility has been noticeably reduced.
- Excessive nostril exposure can make the nose look short and give a less-than-ideal impression.
- The visible nostril size must be reduced through accurate analysis of the cause.
What if your nostrils are too visible? (1) Retracted alae -> Alar rim graft (2) Drooping columella -> Columella correction (3) Flared alae -> Alar reduction
# The full-face fat grafting has given the face a vibrant, youthful glow. Proper facial volume is incredibly important.
