Incision Ptosis Correction + Epicanthoplasty

* Basic Information

· Female in her 20s

· Eye-opening strength: asymmetric — weaker on the right side

· Excess skin: approximately 3 mm

· Skin thickness: moderate

· Main concerns: Bothered by left-right asymmetry. The inner corners of the eyes appear sharp and constricted.

* Consultation

1. The inner double eyelid present only on the left eye makes the asymmetry quite pronounced, doesn't it? In many cases like this, simply creating a crease on the right eye is enough to improve symmetry — however, this patient's right eye also had slightly reduced opening strength. She also wanted the crease to be more visible than the existing left-eye line.

2. Incision ptosis correction is therefore needed to achieve a symmetrically satisfying crease line.

3. For the inner corners, epicanthoplasty is needed to create a more open and softer appearance.

Asymmetric eyes are, in truth, quite challenging to operate on. There are many variables both during and after surgery. It is therefore strongly recommended to have this procedure performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. :)

For consultations and surgery — always see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is asymmetric ptosis correction surgery difficult?

Yes, asymmetric eyes are quite challenging to operate on. This is due to many variables during and after surgery, so it is highly recommended to have the surgery performed by a skilled plastic surgeon.

In what cases is incisional ptosis correction necessary?

Incisional ptosis correction may be necessary to create a symmetrically satisfactory double eyelid line when the eye-opening strength is weak and there is severe left-right asymmetry. In this case, incisional ptosis correction was performed due to weak eye-opening strength in the right eye.

What effects can be expected from epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty helps create a more open and softer eye shape by improving sharp or stuffy inner corners of the eyes. In this case, epicanthoplasty was planned to improve the inner corners of the eyes.

What side effects can occur after eye surgery?

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects can vary from person to person, so caution is required.

What is the most important aspect of asymmetric eye surgery?

The most important aspect is to have the surgery performed by a skilled plastic surgeon. Asymmetric eyes are challenging due to many variables during and after surgery, so the surgeon's experience and skill determine the successful outcome.
