After ptosis surgery, does a double eyelid always form?

There is a saying that if the body is worth a thousand nyang, the eyes are worth nine hundred. It is a saying often liked in ophthalmology. It expresses how precious the function of the eyes is, but beyond function, it can also be said that the eyes have a large impact on the face in terms of appearance.

If you have ptosis or upturned outer corners of the eyes, the whole face can look sleepy, angry, or somehow not very pleasant. After correcting ptosis or lowering upturned outer corners, the overall impression changes dramatically.

If the ptosis is not severe, it can be corrected with a relatively simple method, and that is non-incisional eye-opening correction.

Non-incisional eye-opening correction is performed by turning the eyelid inward without making an incision on the outer skin of the upper eyelid, so there is no surgical scar, swelling is not severe, and the recovery period is shorter than with incisional eye-opening correction.

After eye-opening correction, the tired-looking impression changes to a clearer impression, and the habit of using the forehead to open the eyes in order to compensate for eyes that did not open well before surgery is also improved. As a result, the forehead is used less, and forehead wrinkles also improve.

In fact, ptosis surgery is a different concept from double eyelid surgery. Simply put, double eyelid surgery is a procedure that creates a double eyelid fold, while ptosis surgery is a procedure that strengthens the muscle used to open the eyes and makes the eyes open wider, regardless of whether a double eyelid fold is present.

Ptosis

It means eyelid.

Droop

It means to be down, or to sag.

Ptosis surgery and eye-opening correction are often used to mean the same thing, but in fact ptosis surgery and eye-opening correction can have slightly different meanings. Eye-opening correction can be said to have a broader meaning, and since any procedure that changes the impression of the eyes can be called eye-opening correction surgery, even double eyelid surgery that creates a double eyelid fold can be considered eye-opening correction.

As such, double eyelid surgery and ptosis surgery are closely related, but because they are procedures with different purposes, please remember that when undergoing ptosis surgery, it is possible to have a double eyelid fold created, or to have no fold at all!
