[Rari Plastic Surgery] Incisional Ptosis Correction for Double Eyelids and Epicanthoplasty Before and After

A completely monolid eye with no visible hidden crease at all

has difficulty opening the eyes because the skin presses down on them,

so ptosis correction surgery can be helpful.

Men often want to keep their monolids,

so they frequently undergo monolid ptosis correction,

but women also sometimes have ptosis correction while creating a double eyelid.

When ptosis correction is performed while creating a double eyelid like this,

it is the first time a crease is being made,

so compared with ptosis correction alone while keeping a monolid,

the swelling along the double-eyelid line may last a bit longer.

At one month after surgery, the double eyelid still looks thick,

but over time it gradually becomes thinner,

and you will end up with a much more natural-looking double eyelid than the one shown one month after surgery.

Considering that this is a double eyelid made through incisional surgery, the swelling along the line at one month

is progressing very well.

Looking at the eyes before surgery,

they have an overall monolid appearance, and the front part looks tightly blocked by the epicanthal fold.

If only a double eyelid were created in this state,

the front part of the double-eyelid line could fold inward inside the epicanthal fold,

so even after eye surgery the eyes might still look generally heavy,

and to address that, epicanthoplasty was performed together.

Compared with the completely monolid eyes before surgery,

the eyes with the newly formed double eyelids after surgery look much more feminine,

and once the heaviness at the inner corners and the feeling of pressure on the upper eyelids are gone,

both opening the eyes and looking at them seem more comfortable.

When patients come to the clinic,

they often think, "I want eyes like this, so this one surgery should be enough," but

it is very rare to achieve the desired eyes with just one procedure.

That is why consultation with a specialist is essential.
