More and more people are choosing eyelid correction, which can improve ptosis while creating a double eyelid line.

However, many people get confused because double eyelid surgery and eyelid correction are often performed together.

Today, I’ll briefly explain eyelid correction, which can improve ptosis :D

Ptosis can occur due to aging,

but it can also happen because of congenital causes or everyday habits.

If left untreated, it can worsen to the point of interfering with daily life,

so it is something that needs improvement.

What is ptosis?

A symptom in which the upper eyelid droops downward as the strength of the “levator palpebrae superioris,” the muscle that lifts and lowers the eyelid, weakens,

making it difficult to open the eyes clearly and causing the eyes to appear smaller.

Double eyelid surgery

Double eyelid surgery is a method that folds the outer skin of the eye so the skin does not sag,

and, as the name suggests, it creates a double eyelid line.

Eyelid correction

It is a method that slightly pulls the muscle on the inside to make the eyes appear larger.

If the eyes are pulled upward, they will open more easily, right?

When is eyelid correction needed?

People often say your eyes look sleepy and tired.

When looking straight ahead, your field of vision feels obstructed by the eyelids.

The eyelids cover more than one-third of the pupils.

When opening your eyes, your eyebrows also rise,

and you end up tensing your forehead.

Self-check for ptosis .2

01 Place both fingers above the brow bone and gently press down while closing your eyes. 02 Open your eyes while keeping your fingers in place.

If your eyes do not open easily at this time, it may be ptosis

and eyelid correction may be needed,

and if your eyes open easily, it is not ptosis.
