Partial Incision Ptosis Correction
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a sharper, more alert look through partial incision ptosis correction and fat removal.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Eyelid opening strength: Weak
# Eyelid fat: Significant
# Skin thickness: Moderate
* Consultation
# The patient visited the clinic to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak eyelid opening strength.
# He felt burdened by a full incision but wanted to remove excess fat from the eyelids.
# Therefore, we planned to remove fat from the slightly puffy eyelids through a partial incision method and create a sharp impression via ptosis correction.
* Plan
# Partial Incision Ptosis Correction
* 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.
# For male eye surgery, achieving a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ or overdone is crucial.
# Male eye surgery can be customized according to preference: 1. No visible line at all, 2. A line that is hidden at the inner corner and widens toward the end, 3. A slight line from the start that looks like a hidden double eyelid, 4. A distinct In-out or Out-line, etc.
# Ptosis correction is a functional surgery. Those who struggle to open their eyes often suffer from headaches and forehead wrinkles, so please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!
