Hello, this is AINIQUE.

As the ability to present yourself effectively in a short amount of time has become more important, the importance of first impressions has also increased.

It is said that first impressions are usually formed within 2 to 3 seconds, and at the latest within 90 seconds.

The feature that most influences a first impression is the eyes. If your eyes look sleepy or droopy, it can be difficult to give a trustworthy impression, which can naturally become a concern.

So today, we would like to talk about sleepy, drooping-looking eyes, which may make others see you as tired or dull.

So, what causes droopy eyes? Droopy eyes are also called ptosis. “Blepharo-” refers to the eyelid, and “ptosis” means drooping.

In other words, ptosis refers to a condition in which the eyelid droops and covers the field of vision. If the eyelid covers more than 2 mm of the black of the eye, it can create a sleepy-looking impression.

However, if ptosis is present, in addition to looking sleepy, if you do not feel a clear, open field of vision when looking straight ahead, or if you unconsciously strain your forehead when opening your eyes, then you should visit a clinic for an accurate diagnosis to check whether you have ptosis.

There may be many ways to address this condition, but the most effective method is droopy eye surgery.

The key to droopy eye surgery is strengthening the ability to open the eyes. Safe and natural eyelid correction is the most important factor.

So, shall we take a closer look at AINIQUE’s specialized eyelid correction method?

First, let’s look at the principle of opening the eyes. The muscles that play an important role in opening the eyes are the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and the Muller muscle.

When these two muscles weaken, the force used to open the eyes becomes weaker, causing the eyelids to sag. The principle of droopy eye surgery is to tie or tighten these muscles or tendons to strengthen the force that opens the eyes.

AINIQUE’s droopy eye surgery has two features.

The first is a non-incisional eyelid correction method that uses the buried-suture technique without an incision to shorten the Muller muscle. Because non-incisional eyelid correction does not involve cutting, it has the advantage of a shorter surgery time and recovery period.

With a shorter recovery period, patients can return to their normal activities more quickly after surgery, which makes it highly satisfying for busy modern people.

The second feature is high-density correction. Through high-density correction, fixation points are created more densely, allowing a smooth line to form without loosening. In addition, by placing fixation points in the appropriate positions for each area of the eye, it has the advantage of preventing overcorrection and creating a more natural look.

In the case of incisional eyelid correction, the recovery period may be longer than with the non-incisional method, and scars may form, but it has the advantage of lasting longer than the non-incisional method.
