Ptosis correction

What is blepharoptosis,
the cause of sleepy-looking eyes?

It is a sign of sagging eyes caused by the muscles
that raise the eyelids deteriorating.
Blepharoptosis causes wrinkles between
the forehead and center of the forehead, a drowsy
appearance, or in more severe instances, the eyelids
obscure the pupil, worsening eyesight.

Eight eye ptosis correction
taking function into account

The muscles that raise the eyelids becoming
less strong is the root of stuffy eyes.
We treat eye ptosis taking into account not only
aesthetic value but also functional elements
that are uncomfortable in everyday life.

Customized eye ptosis correction
according to the stage of ptosis

¹
Normal eye

In the case of normal
eyes, the area
of the
pupil that is visible
between
the eyelids is
roughly 5 mm.
²
Mild ptosis

Ptosis in which the
eyelids sag and
conceal
the pupil by 2 mm
because
the muscles
that open the eyes
are weak.
³
Moderate ptosis

Ptosis in which the
eyelids sag and
conceal
the pupil by 3 mm
because
the muscles
that open the eyes
are weak.
⁴
High level of ptosis

Due to the weakening
of the muscles
that
open the eyes, ptosis
occurs
to the point
where the eyelids sag
and
conceal the pupil
by more than 4mm.

difference
between
incision
and non-incision

INCISIONAL METHODS

When ptosis is more severe than mild, incisional ptosis correction is
preferred over non-incisional ptosis correction because
it is more successful. Additionally, by correcting incisional ptosis,
eyes with thick or fatty eyelid skin may be made better with clearer eyes.

NON-INCISIONAL METHOD

It is a method of ptosis correction using a thread to shorten
the muscle that opens the eyes. The muscle is shortened
by tying a thread through its center and attaching it to the tarsal.
By pleasantly opening your eyes when you open your eyes,
you may produce natural and lively eyes.

INCISIONAL METHOD

When ptosis is more severe than mild, incisional
ptosis correction is preferred over non-incisional
ptosis correction because it is more successful.
Additionally, by correcting incisional ptosis,
eyes with thick or fatty eyelid skin may be made
better with clearer eyes.

NON-INCISIONAL METHOD
