Hello,
This is iNique.
As social media has become much more active recently,
it has become one way to show who I am and present myself.
As a result, we naturally end up
taking and being in many photos.
When someone else takes a photo of me,
I may clearly have my eyes wide open, but in the picture I look like I am only half-opening them.
Or if I do not feel sleepy but often get asked if I am tired after looking at photos of myself,
it can build up as stress.
For people like this, there is a possibility of ptosis,
which is a condition in which the eyelids partially cover the eyes
and is commonly called "sleepy eyes" or "droopy eyelids."
Effective methods for solving droopy eyelids include
non-incisional eye correction and incisional eye correction.
Today, we will take a detailed look at
iNique’s eye correction methods,
which can most effectively solve droopy eyelids.

A simple way to check whether you have ptosis
- People around you often say that you look sleepy or blank.
- When looking straight ahead, your field of vision does not feel open and you feel uncomfortable.
- You use your forehead muscles when opening your eyes.
- Your eyelashes keep poking your eyes.
If the symptoms above appear,
there is a possibility of ptosis,
and it can be corrected through eye correction to solve droopy eyelids.

Ptosis is a term related to how much the black pupil in the center of our eyes
is exposed.
Normally, when the eyes are opened to a standard size,
the eyelid covers 1 to 2 mm of the black pupil,
but if the eyelid covers more than that, the eyes begin to look sleepy.

iNique’s eye correction
is performed by reinforcing the strength used to open the eyes.
The exact term for ptosis eye correction is
ptosis correction,
which is a surgery that shortens the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, the muscle that opens the eyes,
as well as the fascia and Müller’s muscle that connect the eyelid.
The levator palpebrae superioris is
the most important muscle when we open our eyes.
By tying and shortening the two muscles or tendons connected to it,
the strength used to open the eyes is improved,
making it possible to solve droopy eyelids.
Ptosis eye correction is divided into non-incisional eye correction and incisional eye correction,
depending on whether an incision is made.
From here, let’s look at the differences between the two methods
and the principles behind them.

In the case of non-incisional eye correction,
it is a correction performed without cutting the skin,
similar to the buried suture method used in double eyelid surgery.
iNique’s high-density non-incisional eye correction
increases the number of fixation points
to prevent it from easily coming undone and improve durability,
and by creating dense fixation and varying the fixation position according to each area of the eye,
it helps form a smooth line
and prevents overcorrection.
Also, because the muscle is corrected using only a few points above the eyelid,
there is less scarring and a faster recovery, which are advantages.
In the case of incisional eye correction,
scars may form during the incision process
or the recovery period may be longer than with the non-incisional method.
However, it lasts longer than the non-incisional method,
and when the strength used to open both eyes differs greatly,
it can be adjusted during the surgery.
For people with eye asymmetry,
customized surgery is possible,
so this is a recommended method.

Director Yang Hae-won of iNique Plastic Surgery
has contributed a chapter related to the buried suture method and non-incisional eye correction surgery
to an American textbook,
based on her expertise.
In addition, as a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 15 years of experience,
she currently serves as an adjunct professor at the College of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University
and as a plastic surgery specialist at Samsung Medical Center,
building up extensive experience and know-how.
