Before and After Incisional Ptosis Correction: If You Want Clearer, More Natural Eyes
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. Many people open their eyes using their forehead because of drooping eyelids, or have eyes that make them look sleepy. This kind of eye appearance can affect confidence, and at times may make a person look older than their actual age or appear tired. For this reason, many people consider eye shape correction, and incisional ptosis correction in particular is gaining attention as one method of improvement.
Incisional ptosis correction can be a suitable surgical method for those whose eyelids droop or who have increased eyelid fat, resulting in weakened eye-opening strength. In general, this surgery is performed when the eyelid skin is thick, there is a large amount of fat, or symptoms of ptosis are present. Through surgery, drooping eyelids are corrected and excess fat removed, helping restore the strength needed to open the eyes. When comparing before and after incisional ptosis correction, the eyes can become larger and more defined and the overall impression can change, although the degree varies from person to person. For example, if thick eyelids cover the pupils and make the eyes look heavy and stuffy, brighter and more open eyes can be expected after surgery.
The greatest advantage of incisional ptosis correction is that the eye structure can be assessed accurately. Because the eyelid is incised, the internal structure can be directly checked and adjusted, which helps anticipate the change and secure firm fixation during surgery while reducing the risk of loosening afterward. The incisional method proceeds by fully exposing the eyelid, removing unnecessary fat or excess skin, and fixing it in the appropriate position, so the before-and-after change from incisional ptosis correction tends to be relatively clear and long-lasting, although how long it lasts varies from person to person.
The reason many people seek out this surgery is that an improvement in eye-opening function can be expected along with the change in eye shape. Incisional ptosis correction focuses on reinforcing the strength to open the eyes, helping patients open their eyes naturally and comfortably without straining the forehead. For example, even in cases where a person uses the forehead or eyebrows to open the eyes, or where the eyes still look droopy after double eyelid surgery, improvement can be planned with incisional ptosis correction. In addition, incisional ptosis correction also looks at the symmetry of the eyes, aiming for a more natural and balanced impression. This surgery also considers recovery of the eye-opening function. People with ptosis, a condition in which the strength to open the eyes is weak, tend to use the muscles of the forehead and eyebrows to open their eyes. This increases facial fatigue and, if continued for a long time, may cause headaches or neck and shoulder pain. By reducing this muscular burden through incisional ptosis correction and allowing the eyes to open naturally, it can help reduce overall facial fatigue and make daily life more comfortable, although the degree varies from person to person.
