The eyes are where people naturally focus when speaking with someone, and they play a major role in a person’s overall impression. This is because the shape and size of the eyes, as well as the size and degree of exposure of the pupils, influence the image one gives.
In particular, if much of the iris is covered when the eyes are open, it can create a tired and heavy-looking impression. This may be a symptom caused by weak muscles that open the eyes, so caution is needed. If weakened eye-opening muscles are left untreated for a long time, forehead wrinkles may form, and in severe cases, astigmatism or decreased vision may occur.
In such cases, ptosis correction surgery to improve drooping eyes is performed at clinics. This surgery is divided into incisional and non-incisional methods, and among them, non-incisional ptosis correction adjusts the muscle through tiny openings without making an incision.
Non-incisional ptosis correction leaves almost no obvious signs of surgery and can help achieve a natural-looking line. In addition, swelling and scarring are relatively minimal, so a quicker recovery can be expected. Therefore, even those who hesitate because they lack time can undergo surgery with less burden.
It can be performed together with double-eyelid surgery, and after sufficient consultation with medical staff, the surgical method should be chosen between the incisional and non-incisional approaches according to the individual’s eye type and condition.
Caution is needed with ptosis correction surgery, including non-incisional ptosis correction, because proceeding with surgery excessively can increase the risk of side effects such as inflammation. Therefore, it is important to check in advance whether the hospital has a proper aftercare system and whether the medical team has sufficient experience and expertise.
Director Hwang Ho of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery advised, “Ptosis correction surgery can be expected to improve a dull and heavy impression into a clearer, more refreshed one. In particular, the non-incisional method tends to allow faster recovery after surgery, so job seekers preparing for interviews and busy office workers can undergo the procedure with less burden.”
He added, “If non-incisional ptosis correction is performed without carefully considering one’s eye condition and aftercare, side effects such as loosening of the double-eyelid line may occur. Therefore, before surgery, one should choose a surgical method suited to one’s eye condition through a systematic examination and undergo surgery with medical staff who have sufficient experience and expertise in eye surgery.”
