Cases That Need Ptosis Correction and Answers to Your Questions

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

There are various factors that make an impression

look bright and clear,

but among them, the eyes have the most influence.

That is why many people choose eye surgery

to improve a sleepy and tired-looking impression.

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 to cases of ptosis,

where the eyes are opened using forehead muscles

or the eye-opening muscles are stretched and weak.

​

[Ptosis Correction Surgical Methods]

​

​

Ptosis correction surgical 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,

and 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 cases with little eye fat, thin skin,

and mild ptosis.

​

[Is Ptosis Correction Possible on Just One Eye?]

​

Both eyes open by simultaneously receiving signals from the brain.

For example, if only one eye is not opening well,

the brain sends a strong signal to both eyes

saying, "Hurry up and open your eyes."

However, after performing ptosis correction on only one eye,

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

may suddenly experience a phenomenon where it opens less.

​

The reason this phenomenon occurs is that

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

the brain drastically reduces the amount of signals

it sends to open the eyes.

This is known as Hering's Law.

​

Therefore, by utilizing this principle well,

ptosis correction can be performed on just one eye.
