Hello, this is Director Choi of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today’s topic is incisional eye correction surgery. If the eyes look heavy, or if ptosis is moderate or greater, it is good to perform ptosis correction and eye correction together with double eyelid surgery.

If you think about the principle behind how a double eyelid forms, it is a crease created at one point of the skin as the eyes open, and this is made possible by the levator palpebrae muscle (levator muscle). Therefore, if this levator muscle is weak, the eyes may look sleepy or the double eyelid crease may not fold well.

Also, when only one side looks sleepy, the asymmetry between the eyes may appear more noticeable. This is something that is better improved through incisional eye correction. In some of these cases, a phenomenon called Hering’s phenomenon may also appear (a phenomenon in which the strength of the eye that appears normal on the opposite side is actually small, but it is not outwardly visible and then appears later), so it is better to improve both sides through incisional eye correction.

Therefore, when consulting about double eyelid surgery, it is good to be checked for sleepy eyes and ptosis as well, and to consider having them treated together if necessary. This is because if both the appearance and function of the eyes are improved together, the eyes can become more defined and beautiful.
