In general, when the upper eyelid sags, it often makes the eyes look sleepy. In the past, only double eyelid surgery was performed for these eyes, but since making double eyelids without improving ptosis can make the eyes look even sleepier and does not seem favorable either aesthetically or functionally, ptosis correction is now often performed together.

Ptosis can be diagnosed by checking whether a significant portion of the pupil is covered when looking straight ahead in a relaxed state, so it is best to receive a diagnosis through a consultation. Ptosis caused by sagging skin can be corrected by removing the skin. In this way, correcting ptosis can improve sleepy, droopy eyes, and the shape of the double eyelid can also appear more distinct.

In cases of droopy eyes, if there is a lot of sagging skin, removal of the sagging skin should also be considered during surgery. In general, when performing upper blepharoplasty in middle-aged patients, some degree of skin removal is often included.

That concludes our look at droopy eyes.
