Achieving a Defined Look with Partial Incision Ptosis Correction!
A case study of a teenage patient who achieved a brighter, more alert appearance through partial incision ptosis correction, fat removal, and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Female in her teens
# Eye-opening muscle strength: Relatively weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Concerns: Bulging eyelids due to excess fat; wants to improve a ‘sleepy’ impression.
* Consultation
# The eyelids appear puffy due to excessive fat. We planned to create a lighter and more refreshed look through fat removal.
# We decided to open up the frustratingly closed Mongolian folds to make the eyes appear wider and more open!
* Surgical Plan
# Partial Incision Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# Similar to the non-incision method, the partial incision method offers a short recovery period and results in a very natural look.
# Can you see how the impression has become more defined and brighter through ptosis correction? Additionally, by appropriately removing eyelid fat, the overall look has become much lighter and more refreshed.
