Cases That Need Ptosis Correction and Answers to Your Questions

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

There are many factors that make an impression

look bright and clear,

but among them, the eyes have the greatest impact.

Therefore, to improve a sleepy and tired-looking impression,

many people choose eye surgery.

In such cases, ptosis correction is an option to consider.

​

[What is Ptosis Correction?]

​

It is a method to more clearly improve

sleepy and stuffy-looking eyes caused by sagging eyelids.

It can also be applied in cases of ptosis,

where the forehead muscles are used to open the eyes,

or the eye-opening muscles are stretched

and lack strength.

​

[Ptosis Correction Surgery Methods]

​

​

Ptosis correction surgery methods

are broadly divided into incisional and non-incisional methods.

The incisional method involves making an incision in the skin,

removing unnecessary fat tissue,

and correcting the eye-opening muscles

so that the eyes can open clearly.

This is suitable for cases with a lot of eye fat, thick skin,

or severe ptosis.

​

The non-incisional method does not involve an incision;

instead, small holes are made and threads are used

to adjust the eye-opening muscles

so that the eyes can open clearly.

This is suitable for those with less eye fat, thin skin,

and mild ptosis.

​

[ Is Ptosis Correction Possible on Just One Eye? ]

​

Both eyes receive signals from the brain simultaneously to open.

For example, if one eye is not opening well,

the brain sends a strong signal saying "open your eyes quickly"

to both eyes.

However, if ptosis correction is performed on only one eye,

the opposite eye, which was fine or thought to open well,

may suddenly open less.

​

The reason this phenomenon occurs is that

since the eye that couldn't open well now opens easily through surgery,

the brain significantly reduces the amount of signals

it sends to open the eyes.

This is known as Hering's Law.

​

Therefore, by carefully utilizing this principle,

it is possible to perform ptosis correction on just one eye.
