"My eyes are usually small and look tired, so I’m thinking about ptosis correction. The before-and-after photos of non-incisional ptosis correction look effective... will it work for me too?"

You may be visiting a plastic surgery clinic with thoughts similar to the above. ^^ However, if ptosis correction is performed carelessly, there is also a possibility of problems affecting eye function, so please be especially careful.

Below, Reborn Plastic Surgery, which has helped many people with ptosis correction over the past 20-plus years, will explain the key points of the procedure, so please be sure to read on!

Hello, this is Reborn Plastic Surgery. ^^

You may be looking for information because you suspect signs of ptosis and want to receive ptosis correction.

Ptosis is a symptom in which the upper eyelid droops due to various causes, and it can create a sleepy-looking impression even when your eyes are open normally.

In severe cases, the upper eyelid may significantly cover the pupil, making it difficult to see clearly, or it may even cause functional problems such as irritation around the eyes.

Because it can also negatively affect vision, if correction through surgery is considered necessary, you should think about ptosis correction surgery.

One concern is that interest in non-incisional ptosis correction, which is relatively simple and has a quick recovery, has recently increased, and more people are trying to undergo the procedure without careful consideration.

Ptosis correction is a surgery that shortens the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to strengthen the ability to open the eyes, so it is a very delicate procedure because it must address not only aesthetic concerns but also the functional aspects of the eyes.

Also, it is not something that can be done right away simply because the eyes look small or sleepy; the presence and severity of ptosis must be carefully assessed, and suitability for surgery must be considered.

Below, I will explain ptosis correction in detail, so please read carefully and decide on surgery only after 충분한 상담 with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Ptosis correction?

Let me explain the procedure called ptosis correction in a little more detail.

This surgery strengthens the function of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is involved in opening the eyes, so that the eyes can open more clearly with the same amount of effort.

People with weak eye-opening strength often have a characteristic sleepy-looking appearance.

Some also tend to use the forehead muscles as assistance when opening their eyes, which often leads to forehead wrinkles appearing quickly.

In such cases, ptosis correction can help improve functional issues by allowing the eyes to open more widely, and it may also bring about positive aesthetic changes.

Eyes that need ptosis correction?

It is not a procedure that can be applied to everyone simply because it makes the eyes look larger.

If you fall into the two cases below, consider ptosis correction.

Eyes that look sleepy, or eyes with severe left-right asymmetry.

To explain sleepy-looking eyes in a little more detail, when the eyes are open, it is usually normal for about 1 to 2 mm of the upper part of the dark pupil to be covered.

If more than that is covered, the eyes may look sleepy even when you are opening them as usual.

At this time, ptosis correction can help make the eye shape appear clearer and more lively.

Non-incisional ptosis correction?

There are two main methods of ptosis correction: an incisional method and a non-incisional method.

You are probably interested in the non-incisional method, which is relatively natural-looking and has a faster recovery.

Among those who contact Reborn Plastic Surgery about ptosis correction, most are interested in the non-incisional method.

Of course, it would be ideal if we could perform surgery for everyone who wants it, but first we need to determine whether the procedure is suitable.

The non-incisional method has less corrective power than the incisional method.

If ptosis is severe, it may be difficult to achieve the desired level of correction.

If ptosis is severe or the upper eyelid skin is thick and there is a large amount of soft tissue, the incisional method may be more appropriate than the non-incisional method.

Please be especially careful, because if you undergo a procedure that is not suitable for you, the effect may be insufficient or overcorrection may occur.

Difference between ptosis correction and double eyelid surgery?

"Should I choose ptosis correction or double eyelid surgery?"

I think many people have similar concerns.

So what is the difference between these two procedures, which are often confused?

Double eyelid surgery is a procedure that folds the upper eyelid skin once to prevent the skin from sagging.

In other words, it is a surgery that turns a monolid into an eye with a double eyelid.

Ptosis correction gently pulls the muscle inside the skin that opens the eyes.

It is a surgery that makes the eyes open much more easily and look clearer even when you open them as usual.

Since eyelid thickness, amount of fat, eye-opening strength, and degree of skin laxity all vary from person to person, it is important to receive a detailed consultation about your current eye structure, the planned improvement, and the design before surgery.

In particular, since differences in design around the eyes can lead to differences in satisfaction, if the result is not harmonious for you, it may lead to revision surgery.

Therefore, before surgery, it is important to plan ptosis correction that is appropriate for you through sufficient consultation with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.

At Reborn Plastic Surgery, we also help each patient with surgery after careful consultation.

If you are worried about having a sleepy-looking image in daily life, please contact our clinic.

Thank you. ^^
