Explore real patient case studies in eyelid surgery performed at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery in Korea. These cases include ptosis correction, high fold revision, asymmetry correction, and lower eyelid surgery, with a focus on structural analysis, functional recovery, and long-term stability rather than temporary cosmetic changes.
Each case reflects a detailed surgical decision-making process based on the patient’s underlying anatomical condition. Rather than focusing solely on appearance, these cases demonstrate how functional issues such as limited eyelid opening, muscle imbalance, or structural instability are addressed through precise surgical planning.
You will find before and after eyelid surgery results, including revision cases and complex corrections, showing realistic outcomes and long-term improvement.
Ptosis Correction for Facial Nerve Paralysis and Eyelid Asymmetry.
When Eyelid Asymmetry Reflects a Functional Difference Eyelid asymmetry is not always a cosmetic difference between the two eyes. In patients with facial nerve paralysis, differences in neuromuscular function can affect how the eyelids and surrounding facial structures move. This means that simply comparing eyelid height at rest may not fully expla...
Revision Ptosis Correction for Facial Nerve Paralysis and Eyelid Asymmetry.
When Eyelid Asymmetry Is More Than a Cosmetic Difference Eyelid asymmetry is not always simply a difference in crease height or eye size. In patients with facial nerve paralysis, the two sides of the face may no longer function in the same way. When previous eyelid surgery has also been performed, the situation can become...
Why Ptosis Can Cause Multiple Eyelid Folds
Many patients notice several eyelid creases appearing over time and assume the folds themselves are the problem. Some seek revision surgery simply to remove the extra lines. However, multiple eyelid folds are often not caused by the crease alone. In many cases, they are a sign that the eyelids are no longer opening in a...
Male Eyelid Revision Recovery Timeline: Why Final Results Take Time
Recovery Is a Process, Not a Single Moment Many patients judge their results too early after revision surgery. Swelling, scar remodeling, eyelid height, and tissue relaxation all continue to change during the months following surgery. A natural masculine eyelid cannot be evaluated immediately after surgery. Recovery is part of the treatment itself....
Residual Ptosis After Previous Eyelid Surgery: A Functional Revision Case
Patient Concern This patient visited our clinic seeking revision eyelid surgery after previous eyelid surgery because the eyes continued to appear tired, heavy, and only partially open. Although a double eyelid crease had already been created, the patient remained dissatisfied with the overall appearance. The eyelids did not open fully, resulting i...
Scar Adhesion Revision After Four Previous Eyelid Surgeries
Patient Concern This patient visited our clinic seeking revision eyelid surgery after undergoing four previous eyelid surgeries. Despite multiple operations, the eyelids remained tight, asymmetric, and unnatural. Repeated surgery had resulted in significant scar adhesions that restricted normal eyelid movement and altered the normal relationship be...
Four Years After Revision Eyelid Surgery: Restoring a More Natural Masculine Appearance.
Before and After This patient traveled to Korea seeking revision eyelid surgery after becoming dissatisfied with the results of a previous procedure. The original surgery had created a crease that was positioned too high and fixed too deeply. As a result, the eyes appeared overly defined, giving the face a heavier, more feminine appearance.....
Upper Blepharoplasty and Ptosis Correction: A Brighter Eye Opening Begins Early.
Before and 7 Days After Surgery (Suture Removal) Many patients expect eyelid surgery to produce an immediate final result. However, the first week after surgery is still part of the recovery process. This patient underwent upper blepharoplasty combined with ptosis correction to improve eyelid opening while maintaining a natural appearance. Although...
Why Good Lower Eyelid Surgery Should Not Make You Look Different
Many patients considering lower eyelid surgery are not looking for dramatic change. In fact, one of the most common concerns is whether surgery will make them look different. They are not necessarily trying to look younger. They are not looking to change their eye shape. And they certainly do not want people asking whether they...
Lower Eyelid Surgery and Lateral Canthoplasty Performed During the Same Operation
Many patients seeking lower eyelid surgery have more than one concern. Some are bothered by under-eye bulging, hollowing, or excess skin. Others are also concerned about the shape and position of the outer corner of the eye. When both issues are present, patients often ask whether the procedures can be performed together. In selected patients,...
