Endoscopic Brow Lift, Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision), and Mango Canthoplasty (Dual Canthoplasty)
A case study of a 20s female patient achieving a clear out-fold crease and refreshed eyes through a brow lift and revision ptosis correction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Medical History: Previous partial incision double eyelid surgery
# Narrow space between eyebrows and eyes, causing a bulging and heavy appearance
# Small, stifled eyes due to a closed-off structure
# Patient’s Request: ‘I want my loosened double eyelid line to be redefined into a clear out-fold line.’
* Consultation
# The previous double eyelid line has loosened, and the narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes creates a heavy look. Simply re-fixing the double eyelid will not improve this sensation. In fact, it could make that area look even more bulging. This is especially risky when aiming for an out-fold line, so we must be cautious.
# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Ideal eye shapes are achieved only when there is harmony between these two areas!
# To address the narrow and stifled appearance of the outer and lower corners of the eyes, we will use VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature ‘Mango Canthoplasty’ to open them up effectively.
* Surgical Plan
# Fix-up Ptosis Correction
- Endoscopic Brow Lift
- Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)
# Mango Canthoplasty (Dual/Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty)
* Post-operative Progress
1. What is the first change you notice? Even though a natural out-fold crease was created, the eyelids do not look bulging at all, right? This is because we secured space between the eyebrows and eyes through the brow lift! A very clean and refreshed line has been achieved.
2. VIBE Plastic Surgery’s signature Mango Canthoplasty (Dual Canthoplasty) has completed the look with eyes that appear wider and longer!
3. A beautiful forehead is a bonus! The previously slightly uneven forehead has also improved with a voluminous appearance!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
Wishing you health and beauty today :)

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases can a forehead lift be considered?
A forehead lift can be considered when the space between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow, making the eyes appear stuffy, or when the double eyelid line looks puffy. Especially when desiring an out-line double eyelid, a forehead lift can secure space to prevent the eyelids from looking puffy.
What effects can be expected from Mango Epicanthoplasty?
Mango Epicanthoplasty is VIBE Plastic Surgery's signature procedure that dramatically opens up the narrow and stuffy feeling of the outer and lower eye areas. Through this, the eyes can appear longer and give an overall refreshing impression.
Why is a forehead lift performed together with revision ptosis correction surgery?
When a forehead lift is performed with revision ptosis correction surgery, it secures the narrow space between the eyebrows and eyes, preventing the eyelids from looking puffy and helping to create a natural out-line double eyelid. The harmony between the forehead and eyes creates an ideal eye shape.
Is revision surgery possible even if I have had double eyelid surgery in the past?
Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also had previous partial incision double eyelid surgery, and underwent incisional ptosis correction revision surgery, a forehead lift, and Mango Epicanthoplasty to improve the loosened double eyelid line and stuffy eyes.
Why don't the eyelids look puffy after endoscopic forehead lift?
This is because sufficient space between the eyebrows and eyes was secured through endoscopic forehead lift. As a result, even if an out-line double eyelid is naturally created, the eyelids do not look puffy at all, and a fresh line is completed.
