* Basic Information

· Female in her 20s

· Levator function: moderately weak

· Skin thickness: moderate

· Skin laxity: approximately 2–3 mm

· Inner corner (lacrimal lake): tightly covered by the epicanthal fold, appearing sharp and pinched

· Chief complaints: often told her eyes look sleepy and have a fierce appearance

​

* Consultation

1. After simulating the crease line with a probe, the desired shape is achievable without skin removal.

2. Therefore, the crease can be formed via non-incision ptosis correction.

3. Releasing the epicanthal fold through medial epicanthoplasty is necessary to expose the crease from the inner corner, creating a well-defined in-out line.

She came in with such lovely makeup that I almost didn't recognise her at first! ^^; Before surgery she looked like a young student, but now she has a mature, polished look — very satisfying results. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

When is non-incisional ptosis correction suitable?

Non-incisional ptosis correction is suitable for cases where the eye-opening strength is moderately weak and skin sagging is not severe, allowing the desired line to be formed without skin removal. The patient in this case wanted to improve their sleepy-looking eyes.

What is the purpose of epicanthoplasty?

Epicanthoplasty helps to release the constricted Mongolian fold, creating an in-out line where the eyelid line is well exposed from the inner corner of the eye. This can improve a fierce-looking impression.

What changes can be expected after surgery?

After surgery, sleepy or fierce-looking impressions can be improved, transforming into a mature and sophisticated look. In this case, the patient showed very satisfactory results one month after surgery.

What are the possible side effects after non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty?

Various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur depending on the individual after surgery, so caution is required. You must consult sufficiently with a plastic surgeon.

For what age group of patients is this procedure primarily recommended?

The case introduced in this post is a female patient in her 20s. It may be suitable primarily for younger individuals concerned about sleepy-looking eyes or a fierce impression, but it is decided after consultation depending on the individual's eye condition.
