Early Revision Case of Ptosis Correction (feat. Retraction, Multiple Folds After Failed Skin-Lowering)

Pre-operative appearance

As seen in the photos, one side has developed multiple overlapping folds.

The lower arrow indicates the newly created incision line, while the upper arrow points to the previous surgical incision. Re-adhesion occurred at the old incision site, resulting in a triple eyelid fold.

Furthermore, the eye opens excessively wide, indicating overcorrection.

As shown in the video, the patient’s left eye (right side on the screen) exhibits retraction symptoms where the eye opens excessively, along with the formation of multiple folds.

It is crucial to ensure that multiple folds do not form immediately after the surgery.

This leads to the most stable outcome.

The principle of revision surgery is to thoroughly release existing adhesions and prevent them from forming again.

In early revision, the goals are to balance the eye size and prevent multiple folds; the double eyelid shape itself is not the primary focus of correction at this stage.

This is the appearance at the 6-month mark.

The shape is excellent, no multiple folds have occurred, and the scarring is quite minimal.

I am very pleased that the surgery was successful.
