Transform sleepy-looking eyes caused by ptosisinto clear and defined eyes!
*After plastic surgery and treatment, unexpected side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur depending on the individual, so caution is required.
Incisional Ptosis Correction+Medial Epicanthoplasty+Upper Epicanthoplasty (3 months)
When the eyes are fully open, at least 80% of the iris should be visible for ideal eyes.For patients with severe ptosis where the eyelids cover more than half the irisand obstruct vision, incisional ptosis correction is more suitable than non-incisional.Eyes with thick eyelid skin or excessive fat can also achieveclear and defined eyes through incisional ptosis correction.

<Problem Analysis>Severe ptosis causingobstructed vision
Measure eye-opening muscle strengthand proceed with appropriate design
Incise along the designed lineand remove unnecessaryfat and muscle
Pull and knotthe eye-opening muscle
Clearer,more defined eyes
No excessive tissue removal! It becomes natural after sufficient recovery time.

Excessive skin, muscle, soft tissue excision NO
Having incisional surgery does not necessarily mean severe scarring.The type of scarring most patients worry about is depressed scarring.Depressed scarring occurs when skin, muscle, soft tissue are excessively removed,resulting in a sunken appearance along the double eyelid crease line.To prevent such scarring, only the necessary tissue is removedwhile preserving skin, muscle, and soft tissue as much as possible to minimize scarring.While the incisional method may look unnatural during recovery, after sufficient recovery timethe scar becomes nearly invisible, so there is no need to worry excessively.
Getting double eyelid surgery without ptosis correction can result in a more unnatural appearance.
Without ptosis improvement,the double eyelid crease formsbut looks unnaturally thickand makes eyes appear smaller
Along with ptosis improvement,80~90% iris exposurefor clearer,more defined eyes
When it is ‘pseudo-ptosis,’ ptosis correction is not necessary.
Incisional Ptosis Correction (Revision)+Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning (3 months)
✓ Problem with levator muscle (eye-opening muscle) ✓ The eyelash line position covers the iris ✓ Ptosis correction surgery performed
Brow Lift+Upper Epicanthoplasty (10 months)
✓ Levator muscle (eye-opening muscle) is normal ✓ The eyelash line position is normal, butthe upper eyelid skin sags and covers the iris ✓ Can be improved with double eyelid surgery alone / Brow lift or forehead lift performed
’Pseudo-ptosis’ is simply put, ‘fake ptosis’. The iris exposure is low andthe forehead muscles are used to open the eyes, so the symptoms are similar to ptosis.However, it only appears like ptosis because the eyelid skin sags and has excess fat,while the eye-opening muscle strength is actually normal.In other words, pseudo-ptosis can be improved with regular double eyelid surgery rather than ptosis correction.Incisional double eyelid surgery is more suitable than the non-incisional method, and removing eyelid fat as needed is recommended.Since ptosis and pseudo-ptosis look similar on the outside, they are not easy to distinguish,but an accurate diagnosis before surgery is essential as the surgical methods differ.
Although skin drooping is not severe, the upper lids cover much of the pupils and create a heavy, angry-looking expression.
The eyelid skin was relatively thick, so incisional ptosis correction was used to lift the lids and reveal more of the eyes, softening the expression.
About a year of eyelid-glue use was associated with loose skin. The lids had drooped so that the creases were visible only near the outer corners.
Incisional ptosis correction removed excess skin and lifted the lids. Upper epicanthoplasty helped expose the full creases.
Excess upper-lid fat and hooked inner corners leave the creases visible mainly at the outer corners.
Incisional ptosis correction removed excess upper-lid fat, while upper epicanthoplasty helped define the in-out creases.
Weak eyelid-opening muscles leave about half of the pupils covered, making the eyes appear less open.
Because the skin was thick, incisional ptosis correction was used to improve eyelid opening. Very subtle creases preserved a masculine appearance.
Weak eyelid-opening muscles caused the patient to use the forehead to open the eyes, producing forehead wrinkles not shown in this photograph.
Incisional ptosis correction improved eyelid-opening strength so the patient could open the eyes without relying on the forehead muscles.
The epicanthal folds pull the inner corners downward, and the upper lids also droop.
Ptosis correction and upper epicanthoplasty improved upper-lid opening and reduced the effect of the downward pull at the inner corners.
Severe eyelid drooping causes the eyelashes to touch the eyes and covers about half of the pupils.
Incisional ptosis correction removed excess eyelid fat and lifted the lids. The eyelashes no longer touched the eyes after the lids were raised.
The patient reported tired, heavy eyes from using the forehead muscles to open them and wanted ptosis correction with subtle hidden creases.
Incisional ptosis correction lifted the lids and created hidden creases, giving the eyes a stronger, more defined appearance.
Drooping lids cover the pupils. The patient wanted larger, more clearly defined eyes.
Incisional ptosis correction alone lifted the lids and created natural creases, making the eyes appear clearer and more open.
The eyes are small overall, with a relatively large distance between the upper lids and eyebrows that accentuates their small appearance.
Incisional ptosis correction lifted the lids and improved the lid-to-brow proportions. Medial and lateral canthoplasty increased both horizontal and vertical eye opening.
