As we age, the change known as aging
naturally appears and can cause issues in
various parts of the body.
Near vision may decline, fatigue is felt more
easily, and compared with the past, you may
notice a decrease in physical ability.
These changes in bodily function may be
noticed only by oneself, but changes in
appearance are easily visible to those around
you, so it is something that naturally draws
attention.
In particular, wrinkles on the face, sagging
skin, and drooping eyelids all seem to show
that one is getting older, so many people look
for ways to improve them through various
creams and ointments, as well as surgery and
procedures.

Today, we would like to take some time to
think about correction methods for those who
feel discomfort from drooping eyelids, or who
have to lift their eyes with their forehead,
causing forehead wrinkles, and other such
symptoms.
These changes not only affect appearance,
but can also lead to symptoms such as
headaches and fatigue, and may even cause
decreased vision, so correcting them is
desirable.
Of course, correcting drooping eyelids to
achieve clearer-looking eyes is also a major
benefit.

When the eyelids hang down limply,
they can create a sleepy impression,
and a drooping gaze can make someone
look depressed or as if they are in a bad
mood, leading to a variety of appearance-
related concerns.
When the muscle that opens the eyes is
weakened due to congenital or acquired
causes and the forehead and eyebrows are
used to open the eyes, this condition is called
ptosis.
If this condition continues, forehead wrinkles
will gradually become deeper, the sizes of the
two eyes may become different, and vision
decline such as astigmatism may occur.

If the above symptoms appear, drooping
eyelids cannot be corrected with simple
procedures such as Botox or fillers, so ptosis
surgery is performed.
Drooping eyelid surgery adjusts and
strengthens the tension of the muscle that
opens the eyes, pulls up the sagging eyelids,
and creates clear-looking eyes. Before
surgery, the patient consults with a specialist
and then proceeds with the design stage.
As with other eye surgeries, the quality of the
result can vary depending on the design and
the medical team’s preoperative diagnosis,
so it is recommended to visit a hospital that
has a specialist with abundant experience and
skill.

To correct drooping eyelids, this surgery is
performed after a thorough consultation with
a specialist, followed by designating the
surgical area on the upper eyelid and then
making an incision.
It is done to correct the levator palpebrae
superioris, which is the fundamental cause of
drooping eyelids.
This surgery may look simple because it
pulls the muscle that opens the eyes and
forms the eyelid line, but it requires a variety
of skills.
If the surgery is performed well, the drooping
eyes will no longer make the face look older;
instead, as the muscle is pulled and a line is
formed, the sagging eyelid appearance
disappears, naturally creating a younger-
looking effect.

This procedure takes about one hour and is
performed under local anesthesia rather than
general anesthesia.
There is no need for hospitalization, and daily
life is possible after about one week, so for
those stressed by drooping eyelids, this can
be a method that yields highly satisfying
results.

However, as with any surgery, the issue of
side effects is always present.
In particular, ptosis surgery may sometimes
lead to the problem of the eyes not fully
closing during sleep.
This is identified as a side effect that can
occur when too much muscle is cut during the
operation.
Therefore, to avoid such side effects, it is
essential to check the surgeon’s experience.
Extensive clinical experience helps reduce the
likelihood of problems. In general, the
medical staff’s career history is listed on the
website, so it would be good to check it.

Director Kim Jong-myeong of Diva Plastic Surgery
has appeared on various TV programs to share
information, so many of you may already know
him.
He is a highly skilled specialist with extensive
know-how and clinical experience, and he
strives to achieve ideal results by performing
surgery on only three patients a day.
Because Director Kim Jong-myeong personally
handles all consultations, examinations,
surgeries, and follow-up care, the level of
trust is even higher.

Even if you are stressed by drooping eyelids,
you likely had many concerns before deciding
on surgery.
If you achieve good results after surgery, it is a
method that can have positive effects in
various areas, so we hope you can meet a
good hospital and medical team, obtain ideal
results without side effects, and enjoy a more
comfortable and beautiful life.
