Hello~

​

💚your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

​

Today, we will be doing a Q&A on whether ptosis correction

is absolutely necessary when getting upper blepharoplasty.

​

Is ptosis correction absolutely necessary when getting upper blepharoplasty?

To give you the conclusion first, ptosis correction is not always necessary; it should only be done when needed.

Ptosis correction is a procedure that operates on the eye-opening muscles to improve their lifting strength.

Therefore, only those who are diagnosed as needing ptosis correction due to weak muscle strength

should have it performed alongside their upper blepharoplasty.

If someone who needs ptosis correction only undergoes upper blepharoplasty,

they will feel that opening their eyes is even more difficult and heavy,

and they may end up developing more forehead wrinkles from overusing their forehead muscles.

Conversely, if someone who does not need ptosis correction undergoes the procedure,

their impression may appear overly intense, and they may experience severe discomfort.

Therefore, the necessity of the surgery must be decided after receiving an accurate diagnosis from a specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it always necessary to perform ptosis correction along with upper blepharoplasty?

No, it is not always necessary. Ptosis correction should only be performed with upper blepharoplasty if it is determined that the strength of the muscles that open the eye is weak and correction is needed.

What are the effects of ptosis correction surgery?

Ptosis correction surgery strengthens the muscles that open the eye, improving the ability to open the eyes. Therefore, it is a suitable surgery for those who normally have weak eye-opening strength.

What happens if I only get upper blepharoplasty when ptosis correction is needed?

You may find it even more difficult and heavy to open your eyes than before the surgery. Additionally, you may use your forehead muscles more when opening your eyes, which can ultimately lead to more wrinkles on your forehead.

Are there side effects if someone who doesn't need ptosis correction undergoes the surgery?

Yes, it can make your impression look too strong. Also, the patient themselves may experience severe discomfort when opening their eyes, so it is best to avoid unnecessary ptosis correction.

How can I know if I need ptosis correction?

You can find out through an accurate diagnosis by a plastic surgeon. Since the strength of the eye-opening muscles varies for each individual, you should consult with a specialist before surgery to determine whether surgery is necessary.
