Frequently Asked Questions
What is ptosis correction?
Ptosis correction is a procedure that improves droopy or sleepy-looking eyes caused by weak eyelid-opening strength. It strengthens and corrects the muscle that lifts the eyelid so the eyes can look clearer, brighter, and more defined.
How do I know if I might need ptosis correction?
You may want to consider it if your eyelids still cover part of your pupils when you open your eyes, if you raise your eyebrows or use your forehead muscles to open your eyes, if your forward vision feels obstructed, or if your eyes often look sleepy or tired. The page also explains that around 80% pupil exposure is considered normal.
Who is ptosis correction recommended for?
It is recommended for people whose eyes feel heavy because of ptosis, people who use their forehead muscles a lot when opening their eyes, people who want a natural but clearer impression, people with uneven eye-opening strength that causes asymmetry, people who are often told they look sleepy or tired, and people whose eyelids are so droopy that opening the eyes properly feels difficult.
How long does the surgery take, and what is the recovery like?
The surgery time is listed as within 30 minutes. Suture removal is after 7 days, anesthesia is sedation or local anesthesia, recovery is about 1 to 2 weeks, and the follow-up visit is 1 session.
What is the difference between non-incisional and incisional ptosis correction?
Non-incisional ptosis correction tightens and lifts the eye muscles using sutures without cutting. It is described as suitable for thin eyelids, mild drooping, and cases without severe ptosis, with minimal swelling and faster recovery. Incisional ptosis correction involves an incision, adjustment or removal of fat and muscle, and strengthening of the muscle. It is described as suitable for thick eyelids, severe drooping, and significant ptosis, with some swelling and relatively slower recovery.
How is non-incisional ptosis correction done?
The non-incisional method starts with checking the eyelid-opening muscle strength and designing the ideal eye height and shape. Small openings are then created along the designed line, and through those tiny openings the eyelid-opening muscle is tightened and secured with knots. The goal is a natural-looking, well-defined eye shape.
How is incisional ptosis correction done?
The incisional method begins with measuring eyelid-opening strength and creating a personalized design. An incision is made along the planned line, excess skin and fat are removed, and the levator muscle is tightened and fixed according to the severity of ptosis. The incision line is then carefully stitched to complete the procedure.
What kind of results can I expect from ptosis correction?
The listed results include a clear and natural-looking eye shape, easier and more comfortable eye opening, improvement in both function and aesthetics, help with reducing forehead wrinkles, minimal scarring with fast recovery, and a more youthful appearance.
