Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision Surgery)
A case study of a female in her 20s who achieved clear, natural-looking eyes through incisional revision surgery after her initial non-incisional procedure loosened.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# 4 years ago: Non-incisional ptosis correction & epicanthoplasty (+)
# Primary complaint and goals: The lines have completely loosened. I want clear, defined lines.
* Consultation
# Although she previously underwent non-incisional ptosis correction, the lines have become loose and covered, making them nearly invisible. She desires a more defined look through revision surgery.
# To create a permanent, clear line and remove scar tissue from the previous surgery, we decided to proceed with an incisional revision surgery.
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)
* Post-operative Progress
# A clear yet natural double eyelid line has been achieved.
# Many patients worry that the incisional method will result in an unnatural, overly thick, or awkward appearance. However, if the surgery is performed according to the correct indications, there is no need to worry about scarring or naturalness.
