Men's Incisional Ptosis Correction + Mango Canthoplasty

* Basic Information

# Male in his 20s

# Eye-opening muscle strength: Weak

# Skin thickness: Moderate

# Primary complaints & goals: My eyes are small, so I always use my forehead muscles to open them wide. Because they are small and the outer corners are slanted upward, I look stuffy and fierce. I want my eyes to look larger and more defined!

* Consultation

# The patient wants to improve the habit of frowning and raising his eyebrows whenever he opens his eyes.

# This habit stems from having deep-set eyes combined with weak eye-opening muscles.

# The outer corners of the eyes appeared very closed off and congested. We planned to open them up refreshingly using VIBE’s signature ‘Mango Canthoplasty’.

* Surgical Plan

Incisional Ptosis Correction

Mango Canthoplasty (Dual Canthoplasty: Lateral + Lower)

* Post-operative Progress

# Do the eyes look significantly larger and more defined compared to before the surgery?

# Compare the eyebrow positions before and after. While he used to frown and lift his brows, causing forehead wrinkles, you can now see him opening his eyes comfortably using only eye strength without excessive eyebrow movement.

# Since small eyes were a major stressor, we designed the line to look like a thin inner double eyelid. While some men prefer a completely monolid look, many find that these thin hidden folds suit them very well.

# Even with lateral and lower canthoplasty, it is possible to achieve natural results without scarring, excessive exposure of the red mucosa, or relapse. ^^

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is incisional male ptosis correction necessary?

It is necessary when the power to open the eyes is weak, causing the forehead to be used or the eyebrows to be raised. In this patient's case, with sunken eyes and weak eye-opening strength, ptosis correction was performed to allow comfortable eye opening.

What kind of surgery is Mango Epicanthoplasty?

Mango Epicanthoplasty is VIBE Plastic Surgery's signature epicanthoplasty, referring to dual epicanthoplasty (lateral canthoplasty + lower canthoplasty). It can effectively open up the eyes, which may appear stuffy due to blockage at the outer corners.

Is there a change in eyebrow position after male ptosis correction?

Yes, there is a change. Before the surgery, the patient would frown and raise their eyebrows to open their eyes, but after the surgery, they can open their eyes comfortably with just the strength of their eyes, reducing excessive eyebrow movement.

I'm concerned about scars or mucous membrane exposure after epicanthoplasty.

No, natural results are possible. Even with lateral and lower canthoplasty, the article explains that sufficiently natural results can be achieved without scars, excessive exposure of red mucous membranes, or recurrence.

How is the double eyelid line created during male ptosis correction?

In this case, for the patient who was stressed by small eyes, the line was planned to appear like an inner double eyelid. Many men prefer no double eyelids or look good with thin inner double eyelids.
