Male Monolid Ptosis Correction: Before and Immediately After Surgery (feat. Sanpaku Eye Correction)

This patient underwent surgery yesterday.

Please keep in mind that swelling is still present; I will continue to provide updates as healing progresses.

Before the surgery, the patient had severe sanpaku eyes, and the eyes appeared very sleepy and covered due to sagging skin.

‘Sanpaku eyes’ refers to a condition where the white of the eye is visible on three sides, as seen in the photos above.

In such cases, it can create a negative impression. This topic was even covered in the famous comic series ‘Kkol’ by artist Huh Young-man, which discusses physiognomy.

In cases like this, non-incisional ptosis correction is not a viable option.

First, it cannot effectively address the excess skin covering the eye.

Second, because a significant amount of correction is required, a non-incisional approach could lead to severe tension and potential side effects.

This photo was taken in the recovery room immediately after the surgery.

I will upload new photos when the stitches are removed.

You can see that both the ptosis and the sanpaku eye condition have been significantly improved.

The principle behind correcting sanpaku eyes is documented in medical journals. If you are curious about the details, I can explain them further during a consultation.

I will post additional updates when the stitches are removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sanpaku eyes?

Sanpaku eyes refer to eyes where three sides of the sclera (white part of the eye) are visible around the iris. The text explains that this condition, where the white is exposed on three sides, can sometimes make a person's impression seem unfavorable.

Is non-incisional ptosis correction possible for severe Sanpaku eyes?

No, it is not possible. If Sanpaku eyes are severe and the eyes are heavily covered, non-incisional methods cannot fundamentally improve the drooping skin coverage, thus requiring incisional surgery.

What side effects can occur if non-incisional ptosis correction is performed excessively?

Yes, severe pulling sensations can occur as a side effect. The text explains that if non-incisional methods are excessively applied to patients requiring a large amount of ptosis correction, severe pulling can occur when opening the eyes, causing significant discomfort.

Can Sanpaku eyes be improved with ptosis correction surgery?

Yes, they can be improved. Looking at the recovery room case immediately after surgery in the main text, it can be confirmed that the sleepy-looking eyes were corrected through double eyelid ptosis correction surgery, and the Sanpaku eye symptoms also improved. The related principles are also specified in the thesis.
