Photos from today's two-line revision patients (July 27, 2020) — both at suture removal.
All photos used with patient consent.
Pre-op: an out-fold to begin with. She wanted to convert it to roughly an in-out fold. Pre-op on the left, post-op on the right.
The upper arrow points to the original scar — now essentially gone. The line just below is the freshly de-sutured incision.
Another patient.
We lowered the crease on her right side, and because the medial portion read slightly sleepier than the lateral, we added a small amount of ptosis correction there.
Marked area is on her right eye.
두줄따기 is colloquial shorthand. The proper name is "crease-thinning revision without scar excision." Indicated when the patient has limited skin to spare.
Another case.
Bruising visible because the photo was taken immediately after surgery.
Out-folds rarely suit Korean facial proportions. Patients who initially raised the crease often end up converting from an out-fold to an in-out fold, which is what this revision essentially achieves.
Today's patients are still bruised and swollen, with the lashes lifting and the line looking high. It will all settle quickly.
I will post follow-ups for all three.
All from today, July 27, 2020.
