Hello, this is SoonPlus Plastic Surgery.
In this video, we will take a look at the before and 6 months post-surgery images of a patient who underwent a forehead lift, complex epicanthoplasty, and non-incisional ptosis correction at our clinic.
What the patient hopes to achieve through surgery is a softer eye shape. To do this, we first need to remove the Mongolian fold, and if we look at the patient’s eyes before the surgery, we can see quite a bit of visible caruncle.
In such cases, an Medial Epicanthoplasty In Situ is performed to remove the Mongolian fold without caruncle becoming more noticeable, and at the same time, the Mongolian fold is removed. Removing the fold will lift the angle of the eyes. Additionally, ptosis correction will be performed to make the black pupil more visible.
The issue with performing this surgery in the usual way is that it can cause the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows to become too narrow.
Since the patient’s pre-surgery eyes are already lifting the eyebrows, after surgery, the distance would be even narrower than shown in the video. Therefore, the patient opted to undergo a forehead lift as well.
Looking at the post-surgery results, we can see that the Medial Epicanthoplasty In Situ was performed to reduce the visibility of the caruncle. The Mongolian fold was removed, and the eyelid's upper portion now changes gradually and naturally without being too sharp.
Also, through ptosis correction, the black pupil is exposed more, giving the eyes a clearer, brighter look.
Since the patient underwent a forehead lift, the eyebrows are not dropping down, and the distance between the eyes and eyebrows has been maintained.
It’s important to note that recommended procedures may vary depending on the patient’s eye shape, skin condition, and other factors. For an accurate diagnosis, we recommend a consultation at the clinic.
(Please note: after surgery or procedures, there may be risks of bleeding, infection, inflammation, and other side effects. Surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction may vary.)
