Grasp the cause of ptosis (sleepy eyes)

The causes of ptosis correction is due to the muscle itself or damaged nerve or injury from an accident. The cause needs to be accurately identified in order to correct this problem; therefore, it requires detailed pre-operative testing and examinations and consultation with a specialized surgeon. If eyelid muscles are normal but sagging skin is the reason that create sleepy look, double eyelid surgery itself can improve the issue.

Second!

Ptosis correction through non-incision method

Unlike the traditional method, incision is not made and we perform surgery that shortens the length of muscles by tying certain parts of the eyelid opening muscles via inserting threads inside. If the length of the muscle becomes shorter, the power of eyelid opening becomes stronger which results in bigger looking eyes. Most of all, patients can go back to their daily routine quickly and get natural results as incision is not required.

Third!

Existence of eyelid specialist surgeons

Especially in the case of ptosis correction, the surgeon needs to check the eye opening levels during the surgery. However, this level is easily misjudged due to topical anesthesia; thus, the surgeon’s experience is highly important. If the surgeon does not have much experience, ptosis correction may reoccur, resulting in revision surgery. The surgery has to be performed by surgeon with a lot of experience since ptosis correction is considered to be the most complex surgery among existing eyelid surgeries.

What is Ptosis?

Ptosis is caused by weak muscles that lifts the eyelids. The eyelids get droopy, so the forehead and eyebrows are used to open the eyes instead. Normally, 80~90% of pupil is visible, but an eye with ptosis has eyelid that covers the pupil, and it can make you look sleepy or tired. In this case, ptosis correction surgery that adjusts eye muscle can make your eyes look defined.

What is Upper Eyelid Ptosis Correction?

When your skin starts aging, droopy eyelids cover your eyes or make them saggy. In such case, drooping tissues are accurately measured and cut to fix the eyelids and create defined eye lines.

What is Lower Eyelid Ptosis Correction?

When you get older, skin bags holding fat under eyes get stretched, and they get bumpy creating more wrinkles. In this case, lower eyelid ptosis correction can make defined eye lines by making incisions right under eyes to remove stretched skin and fat or repositioning fat.

What is Browlift?

It is a procedure that lifts saggy skin by making incisions at the top or bottom of eyebrows. People think upper eyelid ptosis correction can fix droopy eyelids, but browlift surgery is for those who don’t want to change the lines of their double eyelids or wish to leave them without double eyelids as they are.
