Ptosis Correction
Surgical techniques that go deep into the muscle layer to solve the problem of weak eye muscles, drooping eyes, and sagging eyelids to lift the eye muscles and adjust them to the shape, which requires high precision and complexity. This problem cannot be solved with double eyelid surgery alone.
1. Congenital ptosis
Congenital eye muscle weakness, which causes ptosis from childhood, may occur on one or both eyes. It may be caused by abnormal muscle function.
3. Accidents or mistakes from double eyelid surgery
Trauma that affects the area of the brain that contains the nerves that control the eye muscles, or surgery performed by an unskilled doctor can also result in weak eye muscles later in life.
2. Involutional ptosis
As we age, our eye muscles stretch and our eyelids droop. However, our daily lifestyle also plays a significant role. For those who have eye allergies, rub their eyes frequently, or wear contact lenses or big eyes for a long time, this can also cause the eye muscles to stretch.
4. Abnormal secretion of neurotransmitters or nerves that supply the eye muscles, or what is called MG
Symptoms of unequal drooping of the eyelids at different times. Symptoms improve when the eyes are closed or in the morning after waking up. This type of eye muscle weakness should not undergo eye muscle weakness surgery. When the doctor suspects this condition, additional tests will be performed to diagnose and provide the correct treatment. This is a disease that cannot be completely cured.

1. If the symptom is not too serious
The doctor will use a method of lifting and tightening the eye muscles by sewing them up to the correct level and may also make an incision in the eyelid skin to create a beautiful and long-lasting eyelid crease.
2. If the symptoms are severe and have been chronic for a long time
The doctor may need to use the forehead muscles to help by stitching them to the edge of the eye to help pull the eyelids open wider.
Characteristic of ptosis
- Droopy eyes, always look sleepy
- Uneven size of both eyes
- Drooping eyelids due to aging
- Drooping eyelids due to genetics
Severity of ptosis
Beginning (Level 1)
This is noticeable when the upper eyelid edge closes, covering the pupil more than 2 millimeters below the edge. This may be the first symptom you notice when blepharoptosis begins.
Moderate (Level 2)
The upper eyelid margin covers the pupil by more than 3 millimeters, which is a clear sign of moderate blepharoptosis.
Severe (Level 3)
And at the last level, you will see that the upper eyelid margin covers the pupil by more than 4 millimeters, which indicates the most severe blepharoptosis.
