For ptosis correction plastic surgery, consider the harmony of facial features and naturalness rather than trends.

Recently, eye plastic surgery is changing to emphasize ‘naturalness’ and ‘harmony.’ In the past, the focus was on creating a large and clear double eyelid line, but recently, the trend has been to emphasize the approach of highlighting the individual's natural charm through a design that matches the shape of the individual's face and facial features ratio. As it becomes more important to complete a smooth and balanced image rather than unconditional enlargement, eye plastic surgery methods that take functional elements into consideration are expanding.
If the eyelids cover a lot of the pupils, giving a heavy, sleepy look, a combined ptosis correction method may be considered. ptosis correction is a surgery that improves the eye opening more clearly and stably by adjusting the length or strengthening the tension of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is the muscle that opens the eyes. Unlike simply creating a double eyelid line, it aims to improve a more fundamental impression because it also deals with the functional parts of the eyes.
ptosis correction is most often performed in conjunction with double eyelid surgery, and is accomplished by naturally lifting the drooping eyelids to properly expose the hidden pupils. This can make your vision appear clearer and can also help relieve eye and forehead fatigue by reducing the involvement of forehead muscles that are overused when opening the eyes. In particular, if you have a habit of raising your eyes, you will be able to open your eyes more comfortably after surgery.
Recently, the number of cases of ptosis correction surgery being performed among men who want a clear and neat image is increasing. It can improve the openness of the eyes without excessive double eyelid lines, so it is often chosen when a natural change is desired. However, since men and women have differences in skin thickness, fat amount, and skeletal structure, an approach that takes into account gender characteristics is necessary.
For ptosis correction, it is important to make a surgical plan after comprehensively analyzing various factors such as individual eyelid thickness and degree of sagging, eye protrusion, strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, and left and right asymmetry. Excessive correction can cause an unnatural impression, and conversely, insufficient correction may make it difficult to achieve the expected improvement effect. A process of determining functional problems and aesthetic design together is necessary through sufficient consultation and accurate diagnosis.
Park Cheolheum, director of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery, explained, “ptosis correction is not simply a surgery to enlarge the eyes, but a process of correcting the balance of the force that opens the eyes,” adding, “Customized design that takes into account the proportions of the entire face and changes in expression determines satisfaction.”
He then advised, "In the recent trend of eye surgery that pursues both clarity and comfort while looking natural, ptosis correction has established itself as a method that encompasses function and aesthetics. When carried out based on sufficient consultation and systematic planning, more stable and satisfactory results can be expected."
