Incisional Ptosis Correction Review: Swelling is Not Severe Even with Epicanthoplasty
A review of incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty, showing that swelling is manageable and results in a natural look within a month.

When looking at reviews for incisional ptosis correction, many people ask about the swelling.
Since this procedure is often performed alongside epicanthoplasty, let’s take a closer look at what to expect.
Incisional ptosis correction swelling is not severe, even when combined with epicanthoplasty.

This is the pre-operative appearance. One eye opens less than the other, resulting in asymmetry.
The pupils are partially covered, and epicanthal folds are present. The arrows indicate the epicanthal folds.
The surgical plan was as follows:
1. Correct the asymmetry
2. Correct the sagging areas
3. Keep the eyelid line low and natural

This is the appearance one week after surgery.
Much of the swelling has subsided, and the stitches have been removed.
The epicanthal folds indicated by the arrows are now gone.
There is a slight unevenness where the stitches were located, but it is not very noticeable.

This is the progress at one month. The swelling has improved significantly, and the results are settling in nicely.
Unfortunately, the patient did not return for further follow-up photos after this point.
Whether using the non-incisional (buried) method or the incisional method, the swelling is not excessive, so you can proceed with surgery without too much worry!
