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.

Frequently Asked Questions

In what cases is ptosis correction surgery necessary?

It is suitable for those who usually have a sleepy impression or need ptosis correction. This surgery is especially recommended for those who develop wrinkles on their forehead when opening their eyes, have droopy eyelids, or desire larger, clearer eyes.

Who is incisional ptosis correction suitable for?

It is suitable for individuals with a lot of fat in their eyes, thick skin, and severe ptosis. By directly incising the skin, removing unnecessary fatty tissue, and correcting the muscles that open the eyes, a more distinct and clear eye opening can be achieved.

What are the characteristics of non-incisional ptosis correction?

It is characterized by adjusting the eye-opening muscles using a thread through small punctures without incision. This method is suitable for individuals with less fat in their eyes, thin skin, and relatively less severe ptosis, allowing for a natural and clear eye shape.

Is it possible to have ptosis correction surgery on only one eye?

Yes, it is possible. Since both eyes receive signals from the brain simultaneously, correcting only one eye can lead to Herring's Law, where the opposite eye opens less. However, if this principle is accurately understood and applied to the surgery, correcting only one eye is entirely possible.
