Incisional Ptosis Correction, Mango Canthoplasty (Lateral & Lower)
A case study of a male patient in his 30s who achieved larger, clearer eyes through incisional ptosis correction and VIBE's signature Mango Canthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 30s
# Eyelid opening strength: Weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Main complaints & goals: My eyes are small, so I always use my forehead muscles when opening them wide. Because they are small and the outer corners are slanted upwards, I look stuffy and fierce. I want my eyes to be larger and more defined!
* Consultation
# The patient wants to improve the habit of frowning and raising his eyebrows whenever he opens his eyes.
# This occurs because he has sunken eyeballs combined with weak eyelid-opening strength.
# The outer corners of the eyes are quite closed off, giving a ‘stuffy’ appearance. We planned to open them up effectively using VIBE’s signature canthoplasty, ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.
* Plan
Incisional Ptosis Correction
Mango Canthoplasty (Dual Canthoplasty: Lateral + Lower)
* Post-operative Progress
# Do the eyes look significantly larger and clearer compared to before? We maintained a natural, non-burdening look with a ‘monolid’ style.
# Even with lateral and lower canthoplasty, it is possible to achieve sufficiently natural results without scarring, excessive exposure of the red mucosa, or relapse. ^^

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases are incisional ptosis correction and Mango Twim suitable?
It is suitable when you have weak eye-opening strength, use your forehead to open your eyes, or want to improve a stuffy, fierce impression due to small eyes and blocked outer corners. It can be particularly effective for individuals with sunken eyes and weak eye-opening strength.
What kind of surgery is Mango Twim?
Mango Twim is VIBE Plastic Surgery's signature canthoplasty, a dual canthoplasty that simultaneously performs lateral canthoplasty and lower canthoplasty. It helps to open the outer corners of the eyes, making them appear larger and more defined.
Are there concerns about scars or side effects after surgery?
Even with lateral and lower canthoplasty, it is mentioned that 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 may occur depending on the individual, so caution is required.
Is it possible to maintain a natural monolid eye shape after surgery?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, the patient maintained a natural, unburdened monolid look after surgery, achieving larger and more defined eyes.
Where can I get a surgical consultation?
It is recommended to receive surgical consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon. This case was performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery Clinic, located on the 8th floor of Urbanhive, 476 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
