[Rari Plastic Surgery] Opening Your Eyes More Comfortably with Ptosis Correction

Do you all know about ptosis?

Unlike terms like ptosis or eye shape correction, it is probably a word you have not easily heard before.

Ptosis refers to eyes that open upward in a round shape like a rabbit’s eyes. The more severe it is, the more it gives the impression of staring wide-eyed, creating an unnatural appearance.

The pre-surgery condition above is a type of ptosis. When comparing both eyes before surgery, you may feel that the left eye (on the right in the photo) opens too much compared to the left side, and think, “Ah, this is ptosis.” If you look at the photo of the eyes after ptosis correction surgery and see how much more comfortable they appear, you can also tell that the opposite eye before surgery had some degree of ptosis as well.

These ptosis symptoms appear more severely when the eyes are opened wide with force. When the eye opens too much and the white part above the pupil is exposed, it gives an uncomfortable and frightening impression, which can have a negative effect on interpersonal relationships.

After ptosis correction surgery, even when the eyes are opened wide, you can see that the eyelids do not rise and open beyond the pupil, and this kind of eye shape looks normal and natural, giving a much softer and more comfortable impression.

Just as having ptosis, where the eyes do not open well, is a problem, opening the eyes too much can also be problematic in this way. It is important to understand that both conditions require correction and to correct them appropriately according to the condition of the eyes.

If the double eyelid line is also adjusted nicely while correcting ptosis, that would be the icing on the cake. However, ptosis correction focuses less on the double eyelid line and instead is a highly advanced and delicate eye surgery that controls how much the eyes open so that the degree of pupil exposure is properly balanced, so some understanding from the patient is needed in that regard.
