Incisional Ptosis Correction (3rd Revision Surgery)

* Basic Information

# Male in his 20s

# Eye-opening strength: Weak

# Skin thickness: Moderate

# Primary complaints & goals: Despite undergoing incisional ptosis correction twice, there is a significant difference in eye size between the left and right, and opening the eyes remains uncomfortable. For this revision, the patient wants the double eyelid line to be visible as a thin inner fold and for the eyes to appear larger.

* Consultation

# Although the patient had two previous ptosis corrections, the correction was insufficient, resulting in asymmetrical eyes.

# The patient also wanted to address the thick double eyelid lines caused by the previous folds being set too high.

# While many men prefer a ‘monolid’ or ‘hidden fold’ look, there are also many cases like this patient where a thin, visible inner double eyelid is desired to achieve larger-looking eyes and a softer impression.

* Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Correction (3rd Revision Surgery)

* Post-operative Progress

# Do the eyes look significantly larger and clearer compared to before the surgery?

# We lowered the previously high lines to create a natural inner double eyelid.

# The patient was very satisfied with the clear and defined eye shape. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is incisional ptosis correction revision surgery also possible?

Yes, it is possible. The patient in this case also improved eye size asymmetry and discomfort through a third revision surgery after two incisional ptosis corrections. It is important to identify the problems of previous surgeries and plan revision surgery according to the individual's eye condition.

In what cases should one consider ptosis correction revision surgery?

Revision surgery can mainly be considered if the eye opening strength is still weak after the previous surgery, if there is severe asymmetry in the size of the left and right eyes, or if the double eyelid line is too high or unsatisfactory. The patient in this case also decided on revision surgery due to asymmetry and a high line.

Do men also prefer an in-fold double eyelid line?

Yes, many men also prefer lines that appear thin, like a monolid or an in-fold double eyelid. The patient in this case also wanted a thin in-fold double eyelid to make his eyes look bigger and give a softer impression.

What is the satisfaction level after ptosis correction revision surgery?

The patient in this case was very satisfied with the results after revision surgery, as her eyes looked significantly larger and clearer than before the surgery, and her eye shape became more defined. Satisfaction may vary depending on individual expectations and surgical results.

Can the existing line be lowered during ptosis correction revision surgery?

Yes, it is possible. In this case, for a patient whose existing line was too high, the desired in-fold double eyelid was created by lowering the line through revision surgery. This is customized according to the individual's eye structure and wishes.
