Ptosis, what does double eyelid surgery do?
People who are sleepy and open their eyes are strong, and most of the upper eyelid muscles are weak. The medical term is ptosis. The so-called ptosis is commonly known as "big eyelid". Ptosis is due to the dysfunction of levator palpebrae superioris, which makes the upper eyelid cover part or all of the pupils. People with severe ptosis can't look up and often look up at the sky. So, how to make double eyelid surgery with ptosis, can you make beautiful double eyelids? Wuxi Tongji experts pointed out that in the case of ptosis, it is difficult to completely correct ptosis with a simple double eyelid surgery. We can correct ptosis at the same time in double eyelid surgery, which is helpful to make a beautiful eye shape. Wuxi plastic Tongji experts introduced that there are two main ways to correct ptosis, one is to shorten levator palpebrae superioris muscle and the other is to lift levator frontalis muscle. At present, the surgical methods of shortening levator palpebrae superioris can be roughly divided into transconjunctival incision and percutaneous incision or conjunctival skin combined incision, which is suitable for bilateral or unilateral mild and moderate congenital ptosis, and levator palpebrae superioris still has some functions. There are two ways to improve the frontalis muscle: one is to connect the tarsal plate with frontalis muscle with various materials or tissues, and indirectly correct ptosis with frontalis muscle strength; The other is to directly make a frontalis muscle flap with frontalis muscle, move it down and sew it with the upper eyelid plate, and directly lift the eyelid with frontalis muscle strength to correct ptosis, which is called direct suspension of frontalis muscle flap. Double eyelid surgery is also called double eyelid surgery. The main surgical methods include double eyelid catgut embedding, double eyelid incision, double eyelid suture and skin grafting.
