Incision Ptosis Correction

* Basic Information

· Female in her teens

· Eye-opening strength: Quite weak (Asymmetry: the left eye appears noticeably smaller)

· Skin sagging: Approximately 4 mm

· Skin thickness: Medium

· Request: A natural look with clearly defined eye contours!

​

* Consultation

1. You are raising your eyebrows quite a bit. Because the skin sagging and ptosis both appear moderate, incision ptosis correction would be the most appropriate approach.

2. When left-right asymmetry is present, incision ptosis correction is often more advantageous for achieving a balanced result.

3. Worried that an incision will leave scars or make your eyes look too sharp? Not at all. Even with an incision, we can absolutely create a sufficiently natural-looking line.

4. Since your lacrimal lake is already well exposed, an inner epicanthoplasty is not necessary.

Incision Ptosis Correction

* Post-Operative Progress

· Notice how the eyebrows that were constantly raised have come down significantly now that the eyes open using their own muscle strength alone?

· To achieve maximum left-right symmetry, the left eye was corrected slightly more than the right.

· Even after surgery, contact lenses — especially colored lenses — are not good for the eyeball or eyelid. You are already beautiful without them ^^;

· Incision ptosis correction is a considerably difficult procedure. It is essential to have surgery performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.

* Key Points

1. When is incision ptosis correction recommended?

: When there is significant left-right asymmetry in ptosis (fine micro-adjustments to restore symmetry require incision ptosis correction)

: When the degree of ptosis is severe (non-incision ptosis correction has its limitations in these cases)

: When skin sagging is present and appropriate skin excision is needed

​

2. Will incision ptosis correction make my eyes look harsh or create an unflattering crease line? I am also worried about scarring.

: If the crease line is designed to suit your individual eye shape — for example, the optimal line height differs between prominent and deep-set eyes — it will never look harsh or overdone. And if the skin edges are carefully aligned during closure, scarring is nothing to worry about!

For consultations and surgery, always see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Post-operative complications and side effects — including bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry — may vary from person to person and require careful attention.
