How effective is ptosis correction surgery?

Ptosis correction surgery can tighten the skin, expose the entire eyelid margin, and at the same time make the eyelashes upward and the eye fissures widen and grow. It not only gives people a delicate beauty, but also increases their field of vision, is conducive to the expression of emotions and the reveal of bright eyes, and brings people a good mood. The postoperative appearance is natural and scars are hidden. The degree of ptosis is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Mild and moderate ptosis means that the levator palpebrae superioris muscle still has a certain function; however, if it is on one side, one eye will be large and the other eye will be small, which is also very unsightly. Severe ptosis means that the levator muscle has completely lost its function, and the patient can hardly open his eyes. This not only makes the appearance ugly, but also seriously affects study, work and life. How effective is blepharoptosis correction surgery? Experts from Jiangyin Oriental Plastic Surgery Hospital said: Six key points for successful blepharoptosis correction surgery: 1. Choose a good surgical method: frontalis muscle flap insertion point downward movement and suspension surgery, which is suitable for any type of ptosis, especially severe cases. Patients with ptosis seek beauty, but the frontalis muscle of those seeking beauty should be functional. Mild to moderate blepharoptosis can be corrected with levator shortening surgery. 2. Adjust the height of the palpebral fissure: No matter which method is used to correct ptosis, the height of the palpebral fissure should be adjusted. If it is too wide, postoperative exposure keratitis will be severe, while if it is too narrow, the correction effect will be unsatisfactory. 3. When using the frontalis muscle flap to move the insertion point down for suspension, the entire frontalis muscle flap formed by stripping and forming (including the part transferred to the upper eyelid) retains good contraction function, which is the basis for the success of the surgery. 4. The position of tarsal fixation should be appropriate: No matter which method is used, the three points fixed on the tarsal plate should be positioned appropriately. If the midline point is too low, the upper eyelid will be lifted too much, resulting in a "triangular eye". If the midline point is too high, the upper eyelid will not be lifted enough. Unsatisfactory correction of ptosis. 5. After unilateral ptosis is corrected, double eyelids should be made on the healthy side to make both sides basically symmetrical. 6. Before surgery, the patient should be carefully examined, differential diagnosis should be made, and an appropriate surgical method should be selected.
