Ptosis Correction Surgery for Bright, Refreshed Eyes
Ptosis correction surgery improves droopy eyelids that make eyes look sleepy and stuffy, creating bright and refreshed eyes. It is used for ptosis correction, asymmetric eye correction, and double eyelid revision, and is divided into incisional and non-incisional methods. The non-incisional approach offers fast recovery and minimal scarring but has limitations, while the incisional method is useful for severe ptosis, skin sagging, and revision surgery as it allows various eye shapes.
What is Ptosis Correction Surgery?
It is a procedure that improves droopy eyelids that make your eyes look sleepy and stuffy,
creating large, clearly defined, and refreshed eyes.
Through ptosis correction, you can address a sleepy appearance, asymmetric eyes, and double eyelid revision.
Could This Be Me? Ptosis Self-Check
For ideal eyes, more than 80% of the pupil should be visible when the eyes are open.
If ptosis symptoms are left untreated,
you may use your forehead muscles to open your eyes, leading to wrinkles,
and you may experience asymmetric eye sizes, eyelashes poking the eye, headaches, and reduced vision, so correction is recommended.
Ptosis Correction Surgery Methods
Incisional vs Non-Incisional
Ptosis correction surgery methods can be divided into incisional and non-incisional approaches.
Non-incisional ptosis correction
is generally useful for enlarging the eye by about 1mm,
and is possible for those without skin sagging.
Compared to the incisional method, recovery is faster and there is no scarring,
but it is a surgical method with certain limitations.
Incisional ptosis correction
is highly useful for severe ptosis or sagging skin,
and allows for various eye shapes to be created.
An incision does not mean severe scarring will be left.
Of course, there cannot be no scarring at all,
but with the right method and principles, it can be minimized.
And because various surgical techniques can be applied,
it is a surgical method that is particularly well-used for revision cases.
