Ptosis Correction

If you use your forehead when opening your eyes
Ptosisis

Ptosis refers to a condition where the muscles responsible for opening the eyes become weakened due to congenital or acquired causes, leading to the use of the eyebrows and forehead when opening the eyes.

If left untreated for a long time, the continuous use of the forehead muscles can cause forehead wrinkles, uneven eye sizes where one eye gradually becomes different from the other, as well as reduced vision and astigmatism.

Ptosis correction strengthens the muscles that open the eyes by adjusting their tension and lifts sagging eyelids to create a clear and well-defined eye shape.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

QCan it be done together with double eyelid surgery?

In most cases, they are performed together. Since the muscles that open the eyes are adjusted during the incisional double eyelid surgery, the line creation and ptosis correction can be done at the same time.

QHow can I know if I have ptosis?

If a significant portion of your pupil is covered from the top when you look in the mirror and open your eyes without using your forehead muscles, you may suspect ptosis. An accurate assessment is made during a consultation by measuring the strength used to open the eyes.

QWon't my eyes look too big after the surgery?

The degree of pupil exposure is adjusted in balance with the overall face. The goal is to correct it to look clear and defined, rather than artificially making it larger.
