Sleepy looking eyes,
should be improved with “ptosis correction surgery” rather than double eyelid surgery!
A patient at her 22 years old, who underwent double eyelid surgery last year, is considering revision these days. She had double eyelid surgery because of the feeling of tired and sleepy eyes, but even after the surgery, her concern was not improved much. As a result, there are many concerns about whether or not to undergo a revision.
Even after double eyelid surgery, we can
often see cases of complaining being not enlarged or improved much in the
feeling or looking tired and sleepy. If you are often told that your eyelids
are sagging or that you usually look sleepy, you should be suspicious of ‘eyelid
ptosis’.
Ptosis of the eyelid is due to congenitally
weak muscle that is used to open the eyes or by acquired factors such as aging
and injury. If you have ptosis symptoms, the eyelids cover your eyes, which
makes you look drowsy and stuffy.
Although many people consider double eyelid
surgery to treat ptosis, ptosis is basically a symptom that covers the pupil
due to weak muscle strength. Therefore, since double eyelid surgery alone does
not solve the problem, the muscle tension must be adjusted through ptosis
correction surgery.
In the case of blepharoplasty, this method
will remove the excessive skins and fats on upper eyes to make clearer eyes
with correction of the eye muscle. Since it improves the root cause of ptosis
and strengthens the power to open the eyes, it can change the drowsy-looking
eyes into brighter-looking eyes. In some cases, it may be combined with double
eyelid surgery.
Ptosis correction can be divided into two
major methods: incision and non-incision. Generally, most of ptosis correction has
incised the upper eyelid directly. Incisional ptosis correction is suitable if
the eyelid skin is very saggy or if the symptoms of ptosis are severe. It can
also help reducing eyelid fat and muscle mass.
On the other hand, non-incisional ptosis correction is a surgery to shorten the length of the muscle by putting a thread inside the eyelid without cutting the surgical site. The shorter the muscle length, the stronger the eye opening power. In particular, non-incisional ptosis correction has the advantage of shorter recovery period than incisional method. Although there are individual differences, it usually has a recovery period of 5 to 7 days, and the surgical site normally almost recovers in a month.
Dr. Hyuntaek Lee from Banobagi Plastic
Surgery Clinic says “There are areas where it is difficult to accurately
determine the eye condition unless the doctor are an expert. So it is important
to choose the surgical method that is most suitable through consultation with
the medical staff and to fully discuss the post-operative result."
