A Failed Eye Protrusion Surgery (Ptosis Correction and Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting)

This is a real case of a woman in her late 30s whose impression changed from looking drowsy and dull to having a clear and natural eye shape after revision surgery following a failed ptosis correction, along with upper eyelid fat grafting. “My eyes looked sleepy, so I was always told I seemed tired. I had ptosis correction once, but it didn’t help and made my eyes look more sunken, so I didn’t even want to look in the mirror.” This patient is a woman in her late 30s who had undergone ptosis correction surgery once in the past. However, she was not satisfied with the result after surgery, and she felt that the area above her eyes had become even more sunken, making her eyes look dull and sleepy.

Diagnostic points: At the first visit, after examining the eyes, we determined that performing fat grafting alone would be difficult to improve the condition, and concluded that incisional ptosis correction needed to be performed together for a more three-dimensional and natural result. Surgical plan and procedure: Revision ptosis correction was performed with a precise approach that took the existing scar into consideration, naturally reinforcing the strength of eye opening without overcorrection.

For the upper eyelid fat grafting, fat was injected in micro-units centered on the deep layer of the orbit, designed to improve graft retention without creating visible unevenness and to allow it to blend naturally.

Three months after the surgery, the patient is very satisfied. The dull, sleepy-looking eyes have become clearer, and the fat has settled smoothly, changing the previously protruding eyes into a much more comfortable and stable impression. Eyes are not defined simply by size; three-dimensionality and balance are essential. In particular, sleepy-looking or sunken eyes cannot be solved simply by correcting them again. The key is to precisely analyze the structure around the eyes and restore the volume balance with fat grafting. As in this case, if you experienced unsatisfactory results after ptosis correction, what is needed is not a simple revision surgery, but a combined approach that also considers the volume above the eyes. Since the eyes are a core factor in determining one’s impression, we recommend receiving 충분한 consultation and a diagnosis from an experienced specialist.
