When Aging-Sagging Eyelids Need a Natural Brow Lift [Brow Ptosis Correction]

When aging-sagging eyelids need a natural brow lift [Brow Ptosis Correction]

Brow ptosis correction is a method of improving sagging eyelids and fine wrinkles around the eyes by performing a brow lift that pulls the skin upward through an incision made below the eyebrow due to aging.

Without altering the existing double eyelid line, the procedure is performed by making an incision along the lower boundary of the eyebrow, so the scar is not very noticeable after brow ptosis correction. With the effect of a brighter, more youthful eye area, it is one of the eye surgeries that has a high level of satisfaction among middle-aged people considering anti-aging procedures.

As aging progresses, the area around the eyes can decline not only aesthetically but also functionally, so improvement may be needed quickly. When the eye opens and the iris is visible by about 80–90%, the eyes can look clearer.

By measuring the strength of the muscles used to open the eyes and identifying various factors that affect that strength, the patient’s eye condition is checked more closely. Then, a suitable design and plan are applied to improve the completeness of the brow ptosis correction.

Before performing brow ptosis correction, it is necessary to check the balance.

Even if the patient does not have asymmetrical eyes on the left and right, asymmetry can occur during surgery due to other causes, so the procedure should be performed through a detailed analysis. If the patient already has double eyelids, the size and shape of the double eyelids may change, so the size and shape of the eyes should be carefully discussed with the patient in advance before deciding on the plan.

Before brow ptosis correction, we accurately diagnose the patient’s eye condition and, based on the patient’s needs as well as the harmony between the eyes and the face, create a tasteful design that blends naturally to increase satisfaction with the results.

Cases for which brow ptosis correction is recommended include:

If the eyelids are sagging but the patient does not want double eyelid surgery / If the eyelids are thick and double eyelids do not suit them / If they want a relatively simpler procedure than a forehead lift / If the eyebrows and eyelids have sagged and the double eyelid line is hidden / If the sagging eyelids cause the eyebrows to press against the eyes and create discomfort / If the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide, brow ptosis correction can be recommended for those concerns.

Among those worried about sagging eyelids, a representative consideration is whether to choose brow ptosis correction or a forehead lift.

While they may seem to produce the same effect if only the result is considered, a forehead lift broadly lifts the entire soft tissue of the upper face, improving wrinkles across the upper face. It can be recommended for those who want to improve both brow and eyelid sagging at once and for those with a narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows.

Brow ptosis correction, on the other hand, involves making an incision below the eyebrow and suturing it, removing the sagging eyelid tissue and cutting and fixing the muscle. It can be recommended when the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide and the glabellar lines and crow’s feet are not severe.

(For a more accurate diagnosis, you can receive a detailed in-person consultation with medical staff.)

Sagging eyelids do not simply make the eyes look sleepy and heavy; depending on the degree, they can also obstruct the field of vision.

Before the sagging becomes more severe, it should be improved with an appropriate method so that not only is the field of vision secured, but the eyes are also completed in a clearer and more refreshed appearance.

If you want a natural change in your eye appearance without looking artificial, and want to return to daily life quickly with a fast recovery, we hope you will visit a clinic that specializes in middle-aged eye surgery and sagging eyelid surgery for a detailed consultation.
