Incisional Ptosis Correction and Mango Canthoplasty (Revision Surgery)

* Basic Information

# Male in his 20s

# Eye-opening strength: Weak

# Skin thickness: Moderate

# Primary complaints & goals: Had incisional double eyelid surgery several years ago, but the lines have completely unraveled and loosened. Even before unraveling, they were hidden ‘inner’ double eyelids; because the lines were so thin, the eyes didn’t look larger and appeared sharp, which was unsatisfying. This time, the patient wants the double eyelid lines to be higher and more distinct, and for the eyes to look larger.

* Consultation

# Due to deep-set eyes combined with weak eye-opening strength, the lines have unraveled, making the eyes look small and sharp.

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

# The inner and outer corners of the eyes appear closed off and stifling. We planned to open them up refreshingly using Vibe’s signature ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.

* Plan

# Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)

# Mango Canthoplasty (Epicanthoplasty, Dual Canthoplasty)

* Post-operative Progress

# The eyes definitely look larger and more defined compared to before, don’t they? Compared to the previous sharp look, the impression is now softer and clearer.

# Since small eyes were a source of stress, we planned the lines to be sufficiently visible. While some men prefer monolids, many find that visible double eyelids suit them well—especially this patient, who specifically requested a more definitive result after being dissatisfied with inner double eyelids from his first surgery.

# Even with lateral and lowering canthoplasty, natural results are possible without scarring, excessive exposure of the red mucosa, or relapse. ^^

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases should incisional ptosis correction revision surgery be considered?

Yes, incisional ptosis correction revision surgery can be considered if the double eyelid line has loosened or become undone several years after incisional double eyelid surgery, and you are dissatisfied because your eyes appear small and fierce. It is especially effective when the height of the inner double eyelid was not satisfactory in the first surgery.

What effects can be expected from Mango Epicanthoplasty?

Mango Epicanthoplasty (upper epicanthoplasty, dual epicanthoplasty) can be expected to open up the eyes refreshingly when the inner and outer corners of the eyes are significantly blocked, making them appear stuffy. This can make the eyes look larger and improve the overall impression to a softer one.

Can men also prefer eyes with a visible double eyelid line?

Yes, while many men prefer monolids or inner double eyelids, there are also many cases, like this example, where they desire a clearly visible double eyelid line. This applies to those who want their eyes to appear larger and have a softer impression.

Are there concerns about scars or side effects during lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty?

Yes, it is mentioned that even with lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty, sufficiently natural results are possible without scars, excessive exposure of the red conjunctiva, or recurrence. However, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry after surgery may vary depending on the individual.

What is the recovery period after surgery?

This post shows the changes through a photo taken 1 month after surgery. While the exact recovery period varies by individual, a larger and clearer eye appearance can be observed at the 1-month mark.
