Incisional Ptosis Correction Surgery Demonstration: 17th Severance Symposium

Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery

2018. 9. 3. 16:17

I presented on the topic of ‘mild ptosis correction using levator aponeurosis advancement’.
It has already been 4 years (as of the posting date in September 2018)...

These are photos from the live surgery demonstration following my lecture at Shinchon Severance on June 27th and 28th, 2014.

Here is the brochure from that time.
Since I was affiliated with a different hospital back then, it shows a different institution name.

A bit of mosaic for the surgery scene...

The auditorium is quite large..
I think this was taken during a break..

I gave the lecture on Saturday afternoon and performed the surgery demonstration the following morning.

Briefing the plan before the surgery.

You can see my mock patient on the left.

The nurses who assisted me during the surgery... we are still in touch. They are great friends.

A large crowd has gathered.
People are observing the surgery in person, while other plastic surgery specialists are watching via camera from a different lecture hall.
I am wearing a microphone to discuss surgical techniques while performing the procedure.

Before and after photos of the patient from the demonstration.
This is the final result.

Since then, this patient has been a kind friend who refers many others to me.^^;;
This was a revision surgery rather than a primary double eyelid surgery, aimed at improving a slightly ‘sausage-like’ appearance and sleepy-looking eyes.

The core of the presentation focused on safe dissection and approach methods, ways to avoid asymmetry as much as possible, and techniques to minimize scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the topic of the surgery presented at the 17th Severance Symposium?

It was the correction of mild ptosis using the levator aponeurosis advancement method. After giving a lecture on this topic at the symposium held at Sinchon Severance in 2014, a live surgical demonstration was performed the next day with other plastic surgeons observing.

What symptoms did the patient participating in the surgical demonstration have?

The patient had a 'sausage-like' appearance from a previous double eyelid surgery and eyes that looked sleepy. This was a reoperation case, not a first surgery, and the demonstration showed the process of improving these side effects and creating more natural-looking eyes through incisional ptosis correction.

What key techniques were emphasized in the ptosis reoperation demonstration?

Safe dissection approach, prevention of asymmetry, and methods for minimizing scars were emphasized. During the surgery, the surgeon wore a microphone and discussed in real-time with observing specialists, focusing on surgical know-how to reduce side effects and achieve high-quality results.

How was the live surgery (surgical demonstration) conducted?

It was conducted by performing the surgery while wearing a microphone in the operating room and communicating in real-time with other specialists. People observed around the operating room, and the surgical process was also shared with plastic surgeons in other lecture rooms via camera.
