You may have had double eyelid surgery because small eyes were a concern,

but instead your eyes may look even smaller

and seem heavy.

Because of this, many people look up sleepy-eye surgery, revision double eyelid surgery,

ptosis correction surgery reviews, and ptosis correction surgery costs.

One of the important factors that must be considered before double eyelid surgery is the strength of eye opening.

This can be corrected with ptosis correction surgery.

Today, let’s take a look at incisional and non-incisional ptosis correction surgery.

What Is Ptosis Correction Surgery?

Ptosis correction surgery is a procedure that corrects ptosis, a condition in which the eyelid is not in its normal position due to congenital or acquired reasons

and droops downward, covering the black part of the eye.

Ptosis, often described as sleepy-looking eyes, is a condition in which the forehead muscles are used to open the eyes

to secure a clear field of vision. This can cause forehead wrinkles,

as well as discomfort such as headaches and fatigue.

In such cases, ptosis correction surgery is performed to pull up the muscles that open the eyes.

It can improve sleepy-looking eyes to a brighter, clearer appearance

and help you open your eyes more comfortably.

Can You Just Have Double Eyelid Surgery Without Ptosis Correction?

If the strength to open the eyes is weak and you have only double eyelid surgery without correcting it,

the double eyelid shape may look unnatural,

and in some cases the eyes may look smaller or sleepier.

Also, the double eyelid may come undone more easily.

Having a double eyelid does not necessarily make the eyes bigger

or correct ptosis,

so it is best to make a decision about surgery after 충분히 consulting with a specialist

who can accurately diagnose your eye condition.

Ptosis Correction Surgery: Which Method Should Be Used?

Ptosis correction surgery can be divided into incisional ptosis correction and

non-incisional ptosis correction depending on the amount of fat in the eyelids,

the degree of muscle strength, skin thickness and sagging,

and whether it is a revision surgery.

Incisional ptosis correction surgery involves making an incision in the eyelid,

removing unnecessary tissue,

adjusting muscle tension, and then creating the double eyelid line.

It is effective for severe ptosis and age-related ptosis.

Non-incisional ptosis correction surgery makes small openings along the planned double eyelid line. Through these openings,

the muscle that opens the eye and the tarsal plate are tied together to pull the muscle upward,

and then the double eyelid is created.

Because there is no incision, it has the advantage of less scarring and swelling,

allowing for a faster, more natural result.

It is a suitable surgical method when the strength to open the eyes is 어느 정도 present,

when eyelid drooping is not severe,

and when there is little fat in the eyelids.
