FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about ptosis correction.
What is ptosis correction surgery?
Ptosis correction adjusts the strength of the muscles that open the eyes, helping them open more comfortably and appear more defined. It can help improve sleepy-looking eyes or eyes that rely excessively on the forehead and eyebrows to open.
When might ptosis correction be needed?
Ptosis correction may be considered when weak eye-opening muscles or drooping eyelids make the eyes look small and sleepy. It may also help if you overuse your forehead or eyebrows to open your eyes, or find it difficult to open them wide.
What can ptosis correction improve?
By improving the ability to open the eyes, ptosis correction can create a more defined vertical opening and reduce a sleepy appearance. If the forehead muscles are overused to open the eyes, it may also help improve forehead wrinkles and uneven eyes.
How is ptosis correction performed?
Ptosis correction adjusts the strength of the muscles that open the eyes. The appropriate non-incisional or incisional method is selected according to each person's eye condition and degree of drooping.
How do non-incisional and incisional ptosis correction differ?
Non-incisional correction adjusts the eye-opening muscles through tiny openings without cutting the skin, and may be considered when drooping is relatively mild. Incisional correction uses a skin incision to adjust the muscles directly, and may be considered when drooping is severe or difficult to correct with the non-incisional method alone.
Who may be suitable for non-incisional ptosis correction?
Non-incisional correction may be considered when the eye-opening muscles are weak or the eyelids droop slightly. As no skin incision is made, it involves less concern about incisions and recovery is relatively quick. Learn about non-incisional ptosis correction
Who may be suitable for incisional ptosis correction?
Incisional correction may be considered when the eyelids droop significantly or the eye-opening muscles need extensive adjustment. It allows the surgeon to directly assess and correct the required area according to each person's eye condition. Learn about incisional ptosis correction
Will ptosis correction leave scars?
Non-incisional correction uses tiny openings without cutting the skin, so it leaves almost no visible external scarring. Incisional correction follows the eyelid crease; scars may remain after surgery but gradually fade over time.
How long does ptosis correction take, and can I go home the same day?
Ptosis correction usually takes about 1 hour. No overnight stay is required, so you can go home on the day of surgery. The operation time and recovery process may vary with your eye condition and the method used.
How are the eyelid crease shape and height determined for ptosis correction?
The crease shape and height are determined by considering the spacing and length of the eyes, facial proportions, eye shape, pupil size, outer-corner angle, and whether ptosis is present. The design is tailored to harmonize with each person's face and eyes.
