Partial Incision Ptosis Correction and Epicanthoplasty
A case study of a 20-year-old female who achieved clear, refreshed eyes through partial incision ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty to address sleepy-looking eyes.

* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Eye-opening strength: Slightly weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Skin sagging: Minimal
# Primary complaints: Eyes look sleepy and small. The upper eyelids look heavy and puffy.
* Consultation
# Upon designing the line, there was not much sagging skin, and the desired ‘in-out’ double eyelid line was easily achievable.
# Since the eye-opening strength is slightly weak, ptosis correction should be performed concurrently.
# The slightly puffy appearance of the eyelids can be improved through fat removal.
* Plan
# Partial Incision Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty

* Post-operative Progress
# Compared to before the surgery, a refreshed and clear eye shape has been achieved.
# Partial incision ptosis correction, like the non-incisional method, has the advantage of 1. minimal swelling and fast recovery, while also offering the benefits of 2. being able to remove fat and 3. creating stronger adhesion.
