Partial Incision Ptosis Correction and Epicanthoplasty
A case study of a teenage patient who achieved a clearer and more refreshed look through partial incision ptosis correction, fat removal, and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
- Female in her teens
- Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
- Skin thickness: Moderate
- Eyelids appear puffy due to excess fat
* Consultation
- The eyelids look heavy and puffy due to significant fat. We planned to create a lighter, more refreshed look through fat removal.
- We decided to open up the stifling Mongolian folds to make the eyes appear clearer and larger!
* Plan
- Partial incision ptosis correction
- Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
- The advantage of the partial incision method is that, like the non-incision method, it has a short recovery period and looks very natural.
- Can you see how the ptosis correction has made her impression clearer and brighter? Additionally, by appropriately removing the eyelid fat, she now has a much more refreshed and light impression.
Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
