Many people know ptosis correction as a procedure often performed alongside double eyelid surgery.

Ptosis correction is a highly beneficial surgery for those who typically have sleepy-looking eyes or ptosis.

​

The most ideal eye shape is when about 80 to 90% of the dark pupil is visible when the eyes are naturally open.

For eyes that look sleepy because the pupils are half-covered due to weak eye-opening muscles,

ptosis correction can create a clear and defined eye shape.

​

The surgical method for ptosis correction adjusts the strength of the eye-opening muscles, allowing you to open your eyes comfortably.

It is divided into incisional and non-incisional methods.

By undergoing ptosis correction, you can achieve a clearer and more distinct eye shape than before the surgery.

​

​

However, there are cases where the eyes return to looking sleepy like they did before the ptosis correction surgery.

​

Today, we have prepared a Q&A session on why your eyes might still look sleepy even after receiving ptosis correction.

​

​

Why do my eyes still look sleepy after ptosis correction surgery?

It could be because the ptosis correction was not performed effectively during the surgery,

or it might appear that way as the threads gradually loosen after the surgery.

In this case, the eyes may seem larger initially after surgery, but gradually return to their pre-surgery appearance over time.

Some people may even find their eyes open smaller than before the surgery due to adhesions in the muscle area.

Usually, if the surgical results remain unchanged and are maintained for about 8 to 9 months, the ptosis correction will not loosen after that.

If you continue to have sleepy eyes, a revision ptosis correction surgery is necessary.

Revision ptosis correction is a more complex and delicate procedure than revision double eyelid surgery.

For those who need revision ptosis correction, it is highly helpful to obtain the surgical records from your first surgery

to provide the doctor with information on the surgical method used,

and to consult while showing photos of your eyes before the initial surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my eyes still look sleepy after ptosis correction surgery?

This is because the correction was not effective during the first surgery, or the fixed sutures have loosened. In many cases, the eyes appear larger immediately after surgery but gradually return to their pre-surgery state over time, and occasionally, some individuals may experience their eyes opening even smaller than before due to muscle adhesion.

Is there a standard period for ptosis correction to remain effective without loosening?

Yes, it is typically around 8 to 9 months after surgery. If the surgical effect remains stable and well-maintained during this period, it is highly unlikely that the ptosis correction will naturally loosen thereafter.

Can my eyes open even smaller after ptosis correction?

Yes, this can happen if adhesion occurs in the muscle area. Adhesion formed during the surgical process can obstruct the movement of the eye-opening muscles, leading to a side effect where the eyes open even smaller than before surgery, in which case revision surgery is necessary.

What preparations are needed for a revision ptosis correction consultation?

It is advisable to prepare the surgical records from your first surgery and photos of your eyes before the initial surgery. Revision ptosis correction is a much more complex and delicate procedure than revision double eyelid surgery, so you must accurately convey the previous surgical method to the doctor to plan a successful revision surgery.
