A heavy medial crease can throw off the look of the entire eye.
The medial portion of her crease was sitting high and gave the inner eye a slightly sleepy look.
We used a scar-preserving high fold correction to lower the heavy medial portion, with ptosis correction limited to the medial section as well.
One week post-op. Some swelling remains, but the overall shape of the eyes has clearly shifted.
Where the eye shape used to read as —
— it now reads as a softer, rounder shape.
Swelling will continue to subside, and the result should refine further as it does. The shape has come together nicely.
Worth noting: medial ptosis correction is technically difficult and tends to recur.
The skill lies in correcting it so that it stays corrected.
It's not uncommon to see the medial portion drop within a week of surgery.
