Case Examples of Correcting Uneven Eyes Through Ptosis Correction

Can uneven eyes be corrected through eye shape correction or ptosis correction?

Hello, this is Dr. Choi from Wink Plastic Surgery Clinic. Today’s topic is how to correct uneven eyes through eye shape correction or ptosis correction. In cases of uneven eyes, it is often because one eye has ptosis, making that eye look smaller and appear uneven. In such cases, ptosis correction is needed.

If ptosis is present in only one eye, it can be more complicated than correcting ptosis in both eyes. This is because after correcting ptosis in the affected eye, hidden ptosis in the opposite eye, which previously appeared normal, may become noticeable. For that reason, it may be checked during surgery and corrected at the same time.

If the sizes of both eyes become similar through ptosis correction, the amount of visible iris also becomes similar, and uneven eyes can be corrected to some extent.

Of course, if the double eyelids are different sizes, adjusting them to match should also be done at the same time. Also, if the inner or outer corners of the eyes differ and make the eyes look uneven, epicanthoplasty or canthoplasty can be performed together with eye shape correction for a more effective correction of uneven eyes.

The commonly used method for ptosis correction is levator advancement, and in severe cases, levator resection may be used.
