Male Ptosis Correction (No-Crease) — How the Swelling Resolves

Today's post: how the swelling resolves after male ptosis correction with a hidden, no-crease design.

Most male patients want the crease as invisible as possible — and most of my Korean patients want the swelling gone yesterday.

Everyone is in a hurry for the bruising and swelling to settle.

Right after surgery — minimal swelling, sutures still in place.

Importantly, the swelling is not severe. The patient can resume daily life immediately.

This is what the incision looks like after a no-crease ptosis correction in a male patient — it reads as a soft skin line. The faint white streak is sunscreen.

Six months out.

This patient had no-crease incisional ptosis repair plus medial epicanthoplasty. Shown at one week and two weeks.

Some bruising is visible at one week, but by two weeks the bruising has largely cleared.

I published the no-crease ptosis technique in an international plastic surgery journal in 2018, and his surgery was based on that approach.

This is the final result.

Pre-op and one month post-op.
