Why Is Ptosis Correction Needed for Double Eyelid Surgery?

When I went in for a consultation because I had monolids,

I was told it would be better to have ptosis correction as well...

What is incision, and what is non-incision?

Embedding? Ptosis correction? Is that the same as double eyelid surgery?

It can feel complicated because these are terms you are hearing for the first time, right?

At Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery,

I’ll tell you the method you need in a simple way, no more and no less!

Ptosis correction! Why is it needed?

First, it is one of the most commonly chosen methods when ptosis symptoms are present.

When the muscle that opens the eyes is weak, or the strength of the eyelids is not enough, so you use the eyebrows or forehead muscles to open your eyes, this condition is called ptosis.

Do you really need correction? It seems like double eyelid surgery alone should be enough

If ptosis makes you look sleepy, and these symptoms and habits continue, wrinkles may form on the forehead, and the risk of decreased vision or inducing astigmatism is high.

Even if ptosis is not severe, people of East Asian descent often have insufficient eye-opening strength itself, so ptosis correction is often needed.

If you proceed with double eyelid surgery only, without ptosis correction, over time the eyes may droop again, or the double eyelid line may become less distinct.

By considering each person’s skin characteristics, whether they have a double eyelid or not, the eye shape, the double eyelid line, and more, Apgujeong Seoul can deliver satisfying results with a differentiated method.
