Hello.

This is Ineek Plastic Surgery.

Ptosis is a condition in which the eyelids droop and block your field of vision. When the eyelid covers the cornea, the black part of the eye, by more than 2 mm, it can create a sleepy or tired-looking impression.

So if you have ptosis, it can give others a negative impression, such as looking sleepy or tired.

However, even ptosis that may leave a negative impression on others can be sufficiently improved with Ineek.

Today, together with Ineek, a clinic specializing in eye surgery, let’s take a look at ptosis correction.

As mentioned earlier, to improve problematic ptosis, a ptosis correction plan is made so that the black part of the eye can be covered by no more than 2 mm of the cornea, which is the underlying cause.

Among the available methods, the most commonly performed solution is ptosis correction, and among various eye-correction procedures, a high-density non-incisional eye-correction procedure is performed.

Eye-correction surgery involves tying and shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and the Müller’s muscle, which play important roles in opening the eyes.

Through this process, the patient’s ability to open the eyes improves, reducing the need to use the forehead muscles when opening the eyes.

Based on this principle, non-incisional eye correction, which ties and shortens the Müller’s muscle using a buried-suture method without incision, is preferred by many patients because it has the advantages of a shorter surgery time and recovery period.

In addition, Ineek, a clinic specializing in eye surgery, increases the number of fixation points when performing eye correction as a solution for ptosis.

If the design is made with more fixation points, the line not only looks smoother, but it can also last longer without coming undone, which reduces the burden of possible revision surgery.

On the other hand, with the incisional method, if a revision correction is needed later or if it loosens over time, it can be difficult to re-correct because an incision has already been made. Therefore, it is better to plan the surgery while considering the patient’s safety.

When planning ptosis correction, the patient’s eye condition must be checked more precisely in advance so that the surgical method best suited to the patient can be found. Otherwise, side effects such as dry eyes or incomplete eyelid closure may occur later.

When looking straight ahead, does your vision feel cramped without an open, clear field of view?

Do you often hear that you look sleepy or dazed?

If so, come to Ineek.

Then, as if you had always been beautiful from the start, this has been Ineek.

Thank you.
