Incisional Ptosis Correction + Epicanthoplasty
A case study of a teenage patient who achieved a clearer, more refreshed look through incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty to address sleepy-looking eyes.
* Basic Information
# Female in her teens
# Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
# Skin thickness: Medium, with a puffy appearance
# Primary concerns: Wants to improve a sleepy impression and puffy eyelids
* Consultation
# I want to fix my sleepy-looking eyes and the puffiness around them.
# It would be best to create a clearer and more refreshed impression through ptosis correction.
# The puffy feeling of the eyelids should be addressed by removing excess fat.
# Since the skin is somewhat thick, non-incisional or partial-incision methods might lead to the folds loosening or unravelling. I highly recommend the full incision method!
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# While creating a natural double eyelid line, the eye-opening strength was also corrected, resulting in a much clearer and brighter impression.
# Many people worry that an incisional surgery will look unnatural, too heavy, or awkward. However, if the surgery is performed according to the proper indications, there is absolutely no need to worry about scarring or the level of naturalness.
