Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision Surgery)
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who underwent revision incisional ptosis correction to fix asymmetry and create a more defined double eyelid line.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Eye-opening muscle strength: Weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Primary complaints & goals: Underwent incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty several years ago, but there is significant asymmetry in eye size, and one side has come undone, making it uncomfortable to open the eyes. This time, the patient wants the double eyelid line to be clearly visible and for the eyes to look larger.
* Consultation
# Although ptosis correction was performed previously, the line has unraveled, and the eyes appear asymmetrical.
# While many men prefer a ‘monolid’ or ‘hidden double eyelid’ look, there are also many cases like this patient where a clearly visible double eyelid line is desired. The goal is to achieve larger-looking eyes and a softer impression.
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision Surgery)
* Post-operative Progress
# Do the eyes look significantly larger and clearer compared to before the surgery?
# While some men prefer a monolid look, there are many who suit a visible double eyelid line like this. In this specific case, since the patient was dissatisfied with the hidden double eyelid from the first surgery, he requested a more defined result.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is incisional ptosis correction revision surgery considered?
Yes, incisional ptosis correction revision surgery can be considered when there is a significant difference in eye size after the initial surgery, or when one eyelid has loosened, making it uncomfortable to open the eye. The patient in the main case also decided on revision surgery for these reasons.
Can men also undergo ptosis correction that shows a double eyelid line?
Yes, it is possible. While many men often prefer no double eyelid or an inner double eyelid, there are also many cases, like the one in the main text, where they desire a clearly visible double eyelid line. This can help make the eyes appear larger and give a softer impression.
What changes can be expected after incisional ptosis correction revision surgery?
After the surgery, the eyes may appear larger and more defined. The patient in the main case also achieved the effect of larger eyes with a clearly visible double eyelid line, replacing the unsatisfactory inner double eyelid from the first surgery.
What should be noted when undergoing incisional ptosis correction revision surgery?
Yes, caution is needed as complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. Furthermore, it is important to establish a personalized surgical plan through sufficient consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon.
