Fix-up Eye Correction (Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Partial Incision Double Eyelid)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 40s

# Eye-opening muscle strength: Good

# Skin thickness: Thick

# Appearance: Puffy due to excessive eyelid fat

# Main complaints & goals: Although her eyes are not small, they always look swollen due to thick skin and fat. She desires a natural crease without a drastic or harsh change in her impression.

* Consultation

# In cases where the skin is thick and fat is abundant, performing only a ‘double eyelid’ or ‘upper blepharoplasty’ carries the risk of the eyebrows dropping significantly. This can make the eyelids look even puffier and the results appear unnaturally heavy.

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

# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Harmony between these two areas is essential to achieve an ideal eye shape!

# Using a partial incision method provides stronger adhesion than non-incisional techniques. Removing fat at the same time results in a much more refreshed appearance.

* Post-operative Progress

1. What is the most noticeable change? Despite the creation of a natural double eyelid, the eyelids do not look puffy at all. In fact, a very clean and refreshed line has been created that looks lighter than before the surgery.

2. Notice how the unevenness between the eyebrows and forehead has disappeared? It looks as if fat grafting or Botox was performed! By simply releasing the muscles that pull down the eyebrows during a forehead lift, the forehead contour can become this beautiful!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Endoscopic forehead lift is performed concurrently to help maintain the eyebrows in an ideal position even after surgery. The forehead and eyes must be in harmony to achieve an ideal eye shape, and it also helps improve forehead contour.

What are the advantages of partial incision double eyelid surgery?

The partial incision method can increase adhesion compared to non-incisional methods, and by removing excessive fat from the upper eyelids, it can create a fresher and more natural double eyelid line.

What changes can be expected after Fix-Up Ptosis Correction?

After Fix-Up Ptosis Correction, a natural double eyelid line is created, and the upper eyelids do not appear bulging; instead, they look lighter. Additionally, unevenness in the eyebrows and forehead is improved, and an aesthetic forehead contour can be expected.
