Double eyelid surgery is currently well known as one of the most common cosmetic procedures. However, even when a person naturally has double eyelids or develops them through surgery, some still feel concerned because the shape is not what they want or the desired eye contour is not achieved.

In such cases, improvement may be possible through ptosis correction surgery. In addition to these situations, it is also used for therapeutic purposes in patients with ptosis, whose drooping eyelids can make the eyes look heavy or tired.

Ptosis is a condition that occurs when the levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid, is weak. Because the drooping eyelid covers the upper part of the pupil, it can create a sleepy or tired appearance.

Patients with ptosis generally have weak eye-opening muscles, so they often try to open their eyes by using the muscles of the forehead. When they force their eyes open in this way, wrinkles can form on the forehead and between the eyebrows. These changes may make a person appear to be frowning, which can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings in social or everyday life.

Ptosis correction surgery improves the vertical width of eyes that look sleepy and heavy, helping create a larger and more refreshed eye contour. When performed together with double eyelid surgery, it can produce an even clearer eye shape, and many patients with ptosis are overcoming their concerns through ptosis correction surgery.

A specialist stated, “Ptosis is not simply a cosmetic issue. If it continues for a long time, it may lead to reduced vision, astigmatism symptoms, asymmetry between the eyes, and wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows. After sufficient consultation, patients may consider ptosis correction surgery at a plastic surgery clinic equipped with a systematic medical system and qualified specialists.”

The specialist added, “Patients should choose a hospital where specialists in each field, with many years of surgical experience and expertise, provide 1:1 customized cosmetic surgery. Patient safety and excellent surgical results are our top priorities.”
