Ptosis and the Difference Between Ptosis and a “Sleepy Eye” at Note Plastic Surgery in Nonhyeon, Gangnam, a Good Place for Eye Correction and Eye Plastic Surgery

논현 Eye correction and eye plastic surgery at a good place in Gangnam Note Plastic Surgery: What is the exact difference between ptosis and a “sleepy eye”?

Hello, I’m Director Lee Bo-hyung of Note Plastic Surgery.

Today, I’d like to talk about eye correction, which many people are curious about.

Q. What is the exact difference between ptosis and a “sleepy eye”?

Many people come in for consultations while considering eye correction, but they often confuse whether their eyes are a “sleepy eye” or ptosis that requires treatment.

To find the surgery that is right for you,

you first need to accurately identify the fundamental reason your eyes look small.

A sleepy eye, where the pupils look covered and you appear tired, refers to an aesthetic condition in which the muscle that opens the eyes has normal strength, but sagging skin or excess fat covers the pupils.

In this case, it is often enough to create a clearer eye shape by improving the sagging skin or simply defining the double-eyelid line, without necessarily touching the muscles.

On the other hand, ptosis, in which the muscle that lifts the eyelid itself has weakened, is a functional condition accompanied by forehead wrinkles and eye fatigue.

In this case, it is not enough to simply change the appearance; eye correction that directly adjusts muscle tension and strengthens the ability to open the eyes must be performed together.

Note Plastic Surgery does not stop at simply making the eyes look bigger,

but carefully analyzes habits of using the forehead muscles and the overall balance of the face to create a design.

We focus on the details that complete both a fundamental improvement in eye-opening function and aesthetic beauty,

and we create the most optimized eye shape for each patient based on an accurate diagnosis.
