What about ptosis?
What about ptosis? Nowadays, many people have good facial skin, that is, the upper eyelids droop. So is there any good solution to this situation? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction of experts from Beijing Zhongguancun Plastic Surgery Hospital! What about ptosis? According to experts from Zhongguancun Hospital in Beijing, we think that shortening the upper eyelid muscle is an improvement method for how to improve ptosis. However, this method is limited to mild and moderate ptosis with partial function of levator palpebrae superioris, such as poor function of levator palpebrae superioris (muscle strength of levator palpebrae superioris is less than 5mm), so shortening levator palpebrae superioris or moving forward with muscle may not achieve satisfactory surgical results. If the muscle function is completely lost, it will be more difficult to achieve the effect. A large number of muscle shortening will lead to serious postoperative complications such as eyelid dysfunction and diplopia. We should not only know what to do with the drooping of the upper eyelid, but also know what is the cause of the drooping of the upper eyelid. According to experts, acquired ptosis can be divided into the following categories according to its etiology: oculomotor nerve paralysis ptosis: caused by damage to oculomotor nerve or nerve nucleus, usually unilateral, often accompanied by eye movement disorder. Sympathetic ptosis: It is part of the symptoms of sympathetic paralysis, which is more common in patients with neck surgery, trauma, thyroid and so on. It is characterized by slight ptosis of the upper eyelid and slightly higher position of the lower eyelid, which leads to ptosis, eyeball recession and pupil contraction, which constitutes Horner syndrome. Myogenic ptosis is common in myasthenia gravis and progressive extraocular muscle paralysis. The degree of ptosis caused by myasthenia gravis increases with fatigue, which is lighter in the morning and worse in the evening. Mechanical ptosis: due to the pathological changes of eyelid itself, such as tumor, severe trachoma, inflammatory edema, trauma, etc. In addition to directly destroying levator palpebrae superioris muscle, it will also cause eyelid hypertrophy due to pathological changes, leading to mechanical drooping. In addition, there is an unexplained ptosis, that is, senile myopathy ptosis, which is caused by primary muscle atrophy and bilateral, and is more common in elderly women. What if there is ptosis?
