Multiple Eyelid Folds & Sunken Eyes: Incisional Ptosis Correction (+ Fat Relocation)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a clear, vibrant look through incisional ptosis correction and fat relocation to fix sunken eyes and multiple folds.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Eye-opening strength: Weak
# Current condition and requirements: The patient wants to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak eye-opening strength. She also hopes to resolve the sunken eyelids and multiple eyelid folds.
* Consultation
# Weak eye-opening strength can lead to a sleepy and fatigued appearance.
# Sunken eyelids and multiple folds are also symptoms stemming from weak eye-opening strength. These can be corrected together through ptosis correction and eyelid fat relocation.
* Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction (+ Fat Relocation)

* Post-operative Progress
# The multiple folds have been resolved, and a clear eyelid line has been created, making the overall impression look much sharper.
# Sunken eyes can be corrected by relocating the eyelid fat back to its original, normal position. If sunken eyes are left untreated -> they interfere with the eye-opening process, making it harder to open the eyes -> this leads to lifting the eyebrows, which pushes the eyelid fat further inward -> causing more sinking -> which further hinders eye-opening... and so the vicious cycle continues.
# Therefore, this phenomenon can be resolved through incisional ptosis correction combined with fat relocation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What impression does it give if the power to open your eyes is weak?
If the power to open your eyes is weak, it can give the impression of being sleepy and tired. This is because the eyelids do not open sufficiently, obscuring the pupils.
Can double folds and sunken eyelids also be resolved with ptosis correction?
Yes, double folds and sunken eyelids can be symptoms resulting from weak eye-opening power, and they can be corrected together through ptosis correction and eyelid fat repositioning. After surgery, double folds can be resolved, and a clear line can be created.
How are sunken eyes corrected?
Sunken eyes can be corrected by repositioning the fat in the eyelids to its original, normal position. Through this process, the volume of the eyelids can be restored, creating a natural eye shape.
What problems can arise if sunken eyes are left untreated?
If sunken eyes are left untreated, they can interfere with the eye-opening process, making it even more difficult to open the eyes. This can lead to raising the eyebrows, and the eyelid fat may recede further inward, creating a vicious cycle.
Why is fat repositioning performed together with incisional ptosis correction?
Yes, performing fat repositioning together with incisional ptosis correction is to simultaneously resolve symptoms such as double folds or sunken eyelids caused by weakened eye-opening power. This can improve a sleepy appearance and create clear eyes.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after surgery. These symptoms can vary from person to person, so caution is required, and sufficient consultation with a specialist is necessary before surgery.
