Droopy Eye Surgery, What Ptosis Means

Hello.

This is Inique.

Because the eyes are the area that draws the viewer’s attention first

when looking at a person’s face,

they are also one of the most common

areas in cosmetic surgery.

People with drooping eyelids or puffy upper eyelids

are often mistaken for being tired and having a dark impression,

not only because of functional discomfort

but also because they look sleepy.

For this reason, people with a stuffy-looking eye shape,

especially those with severe ptosis,

may consider droopy eye surgery

to achieve a clearer, more refreshing impression.

Ptosis is a condition in which drooping eyelids

obstruct the field of vision.

If the eyelid covers the black of the eye

by more than 2 mm, it can make the eyes look sleepy.

It often occurs when the levator muscle,

which lifts the eyelid, is weak from birth

or when its function declines with age,

reducing the strength needed to open the eyes.

However, not everyone who looks stuffy

or sleepy has ptosis.

In East Asian eyes,

the presence of an epicanthal fold often makes the eyes look stuffy,

and the tendency for the eyelids to sag

often leads to a sleepy eye shape.

That is why

it is important to make an accurate determination

about whether you have ptosis.

Symptoms of ptosis that you can easily check at home include:

when your forehead tenses involuntarily while opening your eyes,

when your field of vision feels constricted and stuffy

when looking straight ahead,

and when your eyelashes poke your eyes.

Therefore, if you are considering droopy eye surgery,

it is best to first identify the cause

through a detailed examination

and then make the right plan.

In general, droopy eye surgery

includes options such as double eyelid surgery

and eye correction surgery.

If you have ptosis symptoms,

double eyelid surgery alone has limitations in improvement,

so it is advisable to proceed with droopy eye surgery

through eye correction surgery.

Eye correction refers to shortening

the levator palpebrae superioris and Muller’s muscle,

which play important roles in opening the eyes,

by tying them with muscle or tendon.

If Muller’s muscle is tied and shortened in this way,

the strength for opening the eyes improves,

which can resolve sleepy-looking eyes.

Inique’s droopy eye surgery method,

non-incisional eye correction, boasts good results,

enough to have been featured in a U.S. text.

High-density non-incisional eye correction is

a droopy eye surgery method that corrects the eye shape

with a buried-suture technique without incision,

shortening the surgery time and recovery period.

It creates fixation points densely,

allowing a smooth line that does not come undone.

In addition, because fixation points are made in suitable positions

for each area of the eye,

this droopy eye surgery can help prevent overcorrection,

and since no incision is made,

there is no need to worry about scars,

making satisfaction very high.

As mentioned earlier, not everyone with a stuffy eye shape

has ptosis, so when undergoing droopy eye surgery,

it is best to first have a thorough consultation

with a specialist at Inique, which has extensive experience.

At Inique, after carefully diagnosing the shape of the eye

and the movement of the muscles around the eyes,

a droopy eye surgery plan that suits each person

is established.

No need to worry about sleepy eyes anymore.
