Incisional Ptosis Correction, Epicanthoplasty + Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
A 30s female patient achieves a brighter, more alert look through incisional ptosis correction and under-eye fat repositioning to address tired-looking eyes.
* Basic Information
· Female in her 30s
· Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
· Skin thickness: Medium, with a puffy appearance
· Primary concern: A slightly sleepy and tired impression
* Consultation
1. We decided to transform the sleepy and tired impression into a clearer, more refreshed look through ptosis correction.
2. The puffy feeling of the eyelids is best addressed through fat removal.
3. Since the skin has some thickness and slight sagging, non-incisional or partial-incision methods might lead to the folds loosening or undoing over time. Therefore, the incisional method is more highly recommended!
4. Bulging fat under the eyes is a major cause of what is commonly called ‘dark circles.’ It makes the impression look even more fatigued. We decided to perform under-eye fat repositioning simultaneously.
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
# Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
* Post-operative Progress
# With the creation of a natural double eyelid line and the correction of eye-opening strength, the patient now has a clearer and brighter impression.
# By resolving the bulging under-eye fat through repositioning without visible scarring, the overall look appears much cleaner and more refined.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What surgeries were performed in this case?
In this case, incisional ptosis correction, epicanthoplasty, and lower blepharoplasty (fat repositioning) were performed. It was a comprehensive surgical plan to improve a sleepy and tired impression and address under-eye fat.
Why was incisional ptosis correction recommended?
Incisional ptosis correction was recommended because non-incisional or partial incisional methods might loosen or come undone in cases with thick skin and slight sagging. This method helps achieve a clear and bright impression.
What were the main complaints before surgery?
The main complaints were a sleepy and tired impression due to weak eye-opening strength, a puffy feeling in the eyelids, and dark circles caused by bulging under-eye fat.
What changes occurred after the surgery?
After the surgery, a natural double eyelid line was created, and the eye-opening strength was corrected, resulting in a clear and bright impression. Additionally, the bulging under-eye fat was resolved through fat repositioning, making the area look neat.
Why is lower blepharoplasty (fat repositioning) necessary?
Bulging under-eye fat is a major cause of what is commonly referred to as "dark circles" and makes one's impression look even more tired. To address this, lower blepharoplasty (fat repositioning) was performed concurrently.
What precautions should be taken during surgery?
After surgery, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may vary by individual, so caution is necessary. It is essential to consult sufficiently with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
