The strength of the muscle that lifts the eyelids
has a major effect on the size of the eyes.
If the levator muscle is strong and elastic enough
to lift the eyelids easily,
the eyes will naturally look larger and brighter,
whereas if the levator muscle is weak
and cannot lift the eyelids well,
the eyes can easily appear sleepy and dull.
So, for people who feel unhappy about having small eyes
and who experience inconvenience in daily life
because sagging eyelids limit their field of vision,
ptosis correction is used.
In the past, many people felt disappointed after ptosis correction
because a double eyelid would form and change their impression,
but now
it is possible to use monolid ptosis correction
to enlarge only the eyes.
Today, I will introduce in detail
a way to make the eyes look bigger without double eyelids,
which is loved by both men and women.

- Differences depending on whether there is an inner double eyelid
The actual design of monolid ptosis correction
is divided into a version with an inner double eyelid
and a completely monolid version
with no type of double eyelid at all.
An inner double eyelid has an eyelid line,
but it is not clearly visible when the eyes are open,
so many people mistake it for a monolid.
However, if you look closely, there is a thin line,
and there are folds near the outer corner of the eye,
so the eye shape looks softer than a completely monolid eye.
On the other hand, a completely monolid eye
shows no type of fold when the eyes are open,
which can create a stronger eye shape.
Most patients who want ptosis correction want to
maintain their existing image
while simply making their eyes bigger,
so after analyzing the eye shape with the medical team,
choosing a design that suits you
would be a reasonable choice.

- Non-incisional ptosis correction method
If the amount of fat inside the eyelid is relatively small
and the eyelid is thin,
monolid ptosis correction can be performed without an incision
to reduce physical burden.
After making a groove in the inner conjunctiva of the eyelid,
simply suturing the muscle
can strengthen the ability to open the eyes
without making a wound on the outer skin.
The muscles involved in opening the eyes include
the levator muscle and the Müller muscle,
and which of these will be sutured
is decided according to the patient’s eye condition.
The Müller muscle plays an auxiliary role,
but if it is sutured efficiently,
it can naturally enlarge the eyes,
so it is often a candidate for non-incisional suturing.

- Incisional ptosis correction method
If the skin has lost elasticity and has started to sag,
blocking the field of vision,
or if the eyelashes are poking the cornea and causing contamination,
which leads to eye problems,
it is advantageous to remove the skin.
Also, if there is a lot of fat and other tissue,
making the upper eyelid especially thick,
heavy, and stuffy,
it is better to remove the internal tissue.
When the weight of the internal eyelid tissue is reduced,
the overall load that the levator muscle and Müller muscle
have to support is reduced,
making it easier to open the eyes clearly.

If the size and location of the incision are properly determined,
the suture marks are less noticeable,
which makes it easier to emphasize a natural look.
The incision location said to be favorable for monolid ptosis correction
is 바로 above the eyelashes.
Because this area is covered by the eyelashes,
the suture marks are not easily visible,
and it is easier to remove unnecessary tissue
or trim sagging skin.
When suturing, microsuturing is used
to try to reduce skin damage,
and special care is also needed
so that the wound does not become inflamed
and heals well.

- Gender differences and precautions
Because monolids are a design that is popular
not only with women but also with men,
it is important to understand gender differences well
and meet with experienced medical staff
who can bring out the appeal of each.
Since men and women have different facial bone structures,
such as the brow bone and bridge of the nose,
it is necessary to apply a design
that highlights each person’s characteristics and individuality.
In addition, since differences can also be found
in skin thickness and muscle strength,
you need to pay close attention
when adjusting muscle tension.

Since men and women have different standards of beauty,
the designs they want may also differ,
so rather than producing a single fixed design,
it is important to carefully check whether there is a place
that can newly propose a design reflecting each individual’s
age, gender, face shape,
and even preferences.
To achieve the desired design,
many people also combine it with canthoplasty.
Medial/upper canthoplasty tends to extend
the inner horizontal length of the eye,
creating a refreshing and intelligent look.
Lateral/lower canthoplasty can adjust the angle of the outer corner
and bring out more detail.
Usually, women want a cat-eye look,
while men often consider lateral/lower canthoplasty
to reduce a harsh impression
and create a more friendly appearance.

- Recommended candidates and before-and-after differences
A double eyelid creates a fold in the eyelid,
which can be described as a procedure
that induces the optical illusion of bigger eyes.
On the other hand, ptosis correction has the difference
that it actually enlarges the eyes.
If you want to show more of the iris,
or open up a limited field of vision,
and when you want a refined design
that emphasizes naturalness,
using monolid ptosis correction can give you
a high level of satisfaction.

If the strength that lifts the eyelids is increased
so that you can open your eyes wider,
the sleepy-looking image disappears,
and a clearer impression can be created.
There is a very high chance of moving away
from being seen as sleepy and dull,
and by emphasizing the naturalness unique to monolids,
a good image can also be created.
For this reason, it is said that male patients,
who often feel 부담감을 about cosmetic procedures,
tend to have particularly high preference and satisfaction.

To achieve an ideal eye shape
while also improving function,
you should not forget to follow the pre- and post-procedure precautions well.
Medical staff with extensive experience in monolid ptosis correction
will provide detailed guidance and support for pre- and post-care
together with kind and diligent staff.
So rather than being scared in advance,
I hope you will visit in person, listen to the advice,
and receive appropriate guidance.
