Hello, this is Ribbon Plastic Surgery, where we have helped countless patients with plastic surgery for over 20 years. ^^

Perhaps because people appreciated that Ribbon Plastic Surgery helps each person with customized surgery, even if it takes a little more time, many patients also visit us through referrals from acquaintances.

In particular, some people say they came after hearing that we are good at eye correction surgery.

Some people want to proceed with surgery right away, but unfortunately, there are times when we do not perform eye correction surgery.

The reason is that there are cases where eye correction is not really necessary.

Below, I will explain the procedure in detail. Please read it, and if you think, "I need this," you can visit us then. ^^

What Is Eye Correction Surgery?

There is a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul. In that sense, the eyes are a key factor in determining a person’s impression.

So if the eyelids are drooping or if it is difficult to open the eyes clearly, it is only natural to feel aesthetic stress.

When the eyelids cover the black pupil beyond a certain level for any reason, this is called ptosis.

Ptosis is diagnosed when the eyelid covers about 2 mm above the black pupil.

You can roughly check at home whether you have ptosis.

If, when you open your eyes comfortably without using your eyebrows or forehead, the eyelids cover more than one-third of the black pupil, there is a high chance that you have ptosis.

In cases of ptosis caused by weak eye-opening strength, the issue is not only that you may look sleepy or tired, but also that you may habitually use your forehead muscles when opening your eyes, causing wrinkles on the forehead and other problems.

In such cases, eye correction surgery can strengthen the function of the muscles used to open the eyes, so that even when you open your eyes as usual, they appear more clearly open, helping improve ptosis.

Sometimes people hear that eye correction is good for making the eyes look bigger and ask to have the surgery without further consideration.

In fact, eye correction should basically be performed when ptosis symptoms are present.

It is also needed after double eyelid surgery when weak eye-opening strength makes the double eyelid crease likely to loosen repeatedly.

As such, it is not a surgery that anyone can get simply because it makes the eyes look bigger. You need to check whether it is suitable for your current eye condition before deciding on surgery.

First, please have a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive surgical experience and anatomical knowledge to find out whether eye correction is the right procedure for you.

It Is Important to Find the Surgical Method That Suits You.

There are two eye correction methods: incision and non-incision.

In the non-incision method, ptosis is corrected by approaching through the inside of the eye and shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle.

Compared with the incision method, it generally causes less bruising and swelling and has a faster recovery, which is why many people prefer it.

Unfortunately, even if you want the non-incision method, it is not something everyone can automatically receive.

This is because the non-incision method is suitable for people whose eye-opening strength is not severely weak, whose skin is not very thick, and who do not have a large amount of soft tissue.

If your condition is the opposite of these, the incision method may be more appropriate.

Incision eye correction involves making a direct incision in the eyelid and performing the surgery while directly viewing the inner structures.

It is a method that helps you open your eyes much more easily by shortening the muscle and tying together thin, weak muscles as well.

Because fat or skin can be removed as needed after the eyelid incision, this method is suitable for people with more severe eyelid drooping and a larger amount of eyelid fat.

Since each person’s eyes are different, this must be carefully considered and the appropriate method applied accordingly.

Therefore, after a careful one-on-one consultation with a medical team that has extensive surgical experience and know-how, it is best to receive a detailed examination and be guided toward the procedure that suits you.

If you undergo surgery without going through this process, please be especially careful, as the results may fall short of expectations and you may also be exposed to various side effects such as overcorrection or lagophthalmos.

Today, I wrote this post to help those who are looking for information about eye correction surgery.

At our clinic, we follow the principle of thorough customized eye correction, so we conduct detailed consultations and examinations before surgery.

Perhaps because of this, many patients have been satisfied. Rather than proceeding with surgery without consideration, I hope you will carefully consult about what surgical method is currently appropriate for you and what eye shape would be harmonious, then make your decision.
