Fix-up Ptosis Correction (Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Incisional Ptosis Correction)
A case study of a male patient in his 30s who corrected deep forehead wrinkles and weak eyelid muscles through a combined forehead lift and ptosis correction.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 30s
# Eye-opening muscle strength: Weak
# Skin thickness: Thick
# Primary complaints & goals: Due to weak eye-opening strength, I always lift my forehead to open my eyes. This has caused deep wrinkles on my forehead. I want to be able to open my heavy eyes more effortlessly.
* Consultation
# Because the eye-opening strength is weak, the patient constantly uses the forehead muscles, resulting in very deep forehead wrinkles.
# In cases with thick skin like this, performing only ‘ptosis correction’ carries the risk of the eyebrows dropping significantly after surgery, making the eyelids appear more bloated and unnaturally heavy.
# Therefore, it is advisable to perform an endoscopic forehead lift together to ensure the eyebrows remain in an ideal position after surgery.
# The forehead and eyes cannot be considered separately. Harmony between these two areas is essential to achieve an ideal eye shape!
* Plan
# Fix-up Ptosis Correction
: Endoscopic Forehead Lift + Incisional Ptosis Correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. What is the most noticeable change? The forehead wrinkles have smoothed out, and the strained look from lifting the forehead is gone.
2. Can you see how the wrinkles and unevenness between the eyebrows and on the forehead have disappeared? It looks as if fat grafting and Botox were performed! Simply releasing the muscles that tightly hold the eyebrows during a forehead lift can smooth the forehead contour like this.
3. Despite the ptosis correction, the eyebrows are in an ideal position, so the eyelids do not look bloated or burdensome at all.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
