Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction for Men
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a clearer, more alert look through non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
# Skin sagging: Significant (multiple folds)
# Skin thickness: Moderate
* Consultation
# The patient visited to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak eye-opening strength.
# There was significant skin sagging and multiple folds present. We planned for a hidden double eyelid (inner fold) because if the line were made too thin, the surgical effect might be lost due to skin sagging.
# The stuffy appearance caused by the Mongolian fold was decided to be improved through epicanthoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
# Non-incisional ptosis correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient is very satisfied as it has become easier to open his eyes and his gaze looks much clearer compared to before the surgery.
# In male eye surgery, it is crucial to achieve a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ or overdone.
# Male eye surgery can be customized according to preference: ‘1. A look where the line is completely invisible, 2. A shape that is hidden at the inner corner and widens toward the end, 3. A shape where a slight line is visible like a hidden double eyelid from the start, 4. A distinct in-out or out-line,’ etc.
# Ptosis correction is a functional surgery. Since those who struggle to open their eyes often suffer from headaches and forehead wrinkles, we recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!
