Before and After Ptosis Correction Surgery? The Sleepy-Eye Surgery Dr. Park Si-hyun Recommends!

Ptosis correction surgery before and after?

The sleepy-eye surgery

recommended by Dr. Park Si-hyun!

Hello,

this is Objet Plastic Surgery.

While looking into double eyelid surgery,

you may have come across the term

ptosis correction and found your way to this post.

You may have heard both

“double eyelid surgery alone can change sleepy eyes”

and

“sometimes double eyelid surgery alone is not enough,”

so it may have been hard to tell

which case applies to your eyes.

If you came here wondering about

the before-and-after changes from ptosis correction surgery,

this post will answer exactly that question.

From the causes of sleepy-looking eyes,

to the features of eyes that can be improved with double eyelid surgery alone,

and the cases that require ptosis correction,

I’ll organize everything step by step.

If you read to the end,

you’ll have a much clearer understanding

of which approach is right for your eyes.

Do your eyes look sleepy?

Know these <3> common causes first

Sleepy-looking eyes are often

not caused simply by the absence of a double eyelid.

Because the surgical method changes depending on the cause,

it’s important to first figure out

what condition your eyes are in.

• Weak eye-opening strength

If the muscle that lifts the eyelid

does not have enough strength,

the eyelid will still droop down even when you open your eyes,

partially covering the pupil.

If you keep straining your forehead

or feel like only your eyebrows go up

even when you try to open your eyes wide,

the muscle is likely in a weakened state.

This is called ptosis,

and even if a double eyelid line is created through surgery,

the eye-opening strength itself does not change,

so the sleepy impression may remain

even after surgery.

• Sagging eyelid skin

If the skin on the upper eyelid

drops down toward the eyeball,

it creates the impression that the eyes are covered.

In this case, because the sagging skin itself

is blocking the eyes,

you may consider improvement through

double eyelid surgery or upper blepharoplasty.

• Excess fat in the upper eyelid area

If a thick layer of fat has built up above the eyes,

the double eyelid line may become hidden,

or the eyes may look heavy and uncomfortable.

In this case, combining fat removal

with double eyelid surgery

can help the eyes look lighter

and more defined.

Eyes that only need double eyelid surgery

vs. eyes that need ptosis correction

This is why, even when two people undergo the same double eyelid surgery,

one person’s impression may change dramatically

while another feels like they only got a line.

• Cases where double eyelid surgery alone is enough

If the eye length is relatively ample,

the eyelid skin is thin,

and the eye-opening strength is normal,

double eyelid surgery alone can create

a clearer eye shape.

As the line is created,

the balance of the eyes improves,

and the overall impression becomes

naturally brighter.

• Cases where ptosis correction is also needed

Even if ptosis is present,

ptosis correction is not always necessary.

If the condition is mild,

there are cases where double eyelid surgery alone

can improve it.

However, if the eye-opening strength

has become significantly weak,

it may be difficult to expect the desired change

with double eyelid surgery alone.

Looking at before-and-after ptosis correction surgery results,

you can see cases where there is a difference

in the amount of pupil exposure

between double eyelid surgery alone

and double eyelid surgery combined with ptosis correction.

Because ptosis correction is a surgery that adjusts

the muscle that lifts the eyelid itself,

its approach is different from simply creating a line.

After this surgery,

the eyes often appear more open,

resulting in a clearer and more lively eye shape.

The double eyelid surgery method

also varies depending on the eyes

Double eyelid surgery includes

incisional and non-incisional methods,

and which method is appropriate

can only be determined by directly checking

the condition of the eyes.

If the eyelids are thick

or there is a lot of fat,

the incisional method may produce a more natural result,

whereas if the skin is thin

and there is little fat,

a non-incisional method can often still create

a very attractive eye shape.

Before and after ptosis correction surgery,

it changes like this

In before-and-after ptosis correction surgery,

the most noticeable change is

the amount of the eyeball that is visible.

Because the surgery directly addresses

the muscle that opens the eyes,

after surgery the pupil exposure improves,

making the eyes appear clearer.

For people who have often been told

that they look tired

or seem unmotivated,

this is also why they often feel

the greatest satisfaction from the changes

seen before and after ptosis correction surgery.

However, ptosis correction

should begin with accurately understanding

the condition of your own eyes.

You need to carefully check first

how severe the ptosis is,

whether it should be performed together with double eyelid surgery,

and how the surgical method should be set,

before you can establish a plan

that fits your eyes.

In the end, not all sleepy-looking eyes

improve in the same way.

That’s because the approach differs depending on whether

the issue is weak eye-opening strength

or a problem with the skin or fat.

When Dr. Park Si-hyun at Objet Plastic Surgery

works to improve sleepy-looking eyes,

he makes it a basic principle of diagnosis

to first determine

how strong the eye-opening function is,

whether double eyelid surgery alone is enough,

and whether ptosis correction is needed as well.

Creating a line

and improving the eye-opening strength itself

are topics that start from different points,

so it is most important to know exactly

which method is right for your eyes.

I hope this post helped, even a little,

with that decision.
