* Basic Information

# Female in her teens

# Eyelid opening strength: Slightly weak

# Skin thickness: Moderate

# Skin sagging: None

# Primary complaint: My eyes look sleepy and small.

* Consultation

# Upon designing the line, there was not much sagging skin, and the desired ‘in-out’ double eyelid line formed well.

# Since the eyelid opening strength is slightly weak, ptosis correction should be performed together.

# The slightly puffy appearance of the upper eyelids can be improved through fat removal.

* Plan

# Partial incision ptosis correction

* Post-operative Progress

# Like the non-incisional method, partial incision ptosis correction is a surgical technique that offers the advantages of 1. minimal swelling and fast recovery, while simultaneously allowing for 2. fat removal and 3. stronger adhesion.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is partial incision ptosis correction suitable?

Partial incision ptosis correction is suitable for cases where the eye-opening strength is weak and there isn't significant sagging of the eyelid skin. Additionally, if the eyelids appear puffy due to a small amount of fat, it can be improved along with fat removal.

What are the advantages of partial incision ptosis correction?

Partial incision ptosis correction has the advantage of less swelling and faster recovery after surgery, similar to non-incisional methods. Furthermore, it allows for eyelid fat removal and can enhance the adhesion of the double eyelid.

How long is the recovery period after surgery?

Partial incision ptosis correction, like non-incisional methods, typically involves less swelling and faster recovery. While the exact recovery period varies by individual, it is a surgical method that allows for a relatively quick return to daily life.

Is fat removal also possible during partial incision ptosis correction?

Yes, during partial incision ptosis correction, fat removal can be performed simultaneously to improve the puffy appearance of the eyelids. This can lead to more refreshed and defined eyes.

How is the pre-surgical consultation conducted?

During the pre-surgical consultation, the patient's eye-opening strength, skin thickness, degree of skin sagging, and desired double eyelid line are comprehensively evaluated. Based on this, a personalized surgical plan is established.
