Hello,

This is INIQUE.

Many people, regardless of age or gender, want to make their appearance look better.

The reasons include self-esteem, the atmosphere from society, and the influence of media or celebrities.

As a result, the number of people choosing plastic surgery, which allows the clearest improvements in beauty, continues to increase.

Among these, today we would like to talk about 'eyes,' the most attention-grabbing part of the face.

That is double eyelid surgery and eye correction.

Because double eyelid surgery and eye correction are often performed together, many people think the two surgeries are the same.

Today, we would like to explain the eye correction surgery method, which is different from ordinary double eyelid surgery.

Then, what is different, and who is eye correction suitable for? Let's take a closer look.

Perhaps because of the image the name gives, many people think eye correction is a surgery that makes the eye line more attractive or corrects asymmetry.

Eye correction is the same surgery, with only a different name, as ptosis correction.

Ptosis refers to 'a condition in which the eyelid droops and blocks the field of vision.' Normally, when the eyes are open, it is ideal for the black pupil to be covered by only about 1 to 2 mm from the top.

For people whose eye-opening strength is weak, there are cases where the eyelid covers the black pupil by more than 2 mm. This can also create a negative impression of looking sleepy, and this is called ptosis. Ptosis is not only an external concern, but because it can also cause vision problems or discomfort in daily life, eye correction is performed.

Before looking at ways to improve ptosis, shall we examine the structure of our eyes?

The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is what opens our eyes. This muscle is connected by a tendon and reaches the eyelid. And because a very thin muscle called the Müller muscle also helps open the eyes, shortening this tendon fascia and the Müller muscle strengthens the force used to open the eyes, which makes it possible to improve ptosis.

The eye correction surgery method is divided into non-incisional eye correction and incisional eye correction.

In the case of non-incisional eye correction, the correction is performed without making an incision.

In general, it is similar to the buried-suture method used in double eyelid surgery. In non-incisional eye correction, the thread enters the Müller muscle, then passes through the tendon once and is tied into a knot. As that part shortens, it becomes easier to open the eyes.

Also, generally depending on the amount of shortening, the degree to which the eyelid rises will differ. If 8 mm is shortened, the eye rises by about 1 mm. 10 mm -> 2 mm 12 mm -> 2.5 mm This is calculated roughly, and if there is asymmetry on both sides, the amount of shortening is adjusted differently to match the asymmetry.

Then what are the advantages of this non-incisional eye correction surgery method?

The most definite advantage is that, because it is performed without an incision, there is almost no scar or swelling, so recovery is fast.

However, just like the pros and cons of buried-suture and incisional double eyelid surgery, eye correction also has the downside that non-incisional procedures are slightly more likely to loosen than incisional procedures, and the accuracy of improvement for asymmetry is lower.

Still, when properly applied to the right person, it can produce very good results, and in fact satisfaction is also high.
