Are Ptosis Surgery Side Effects Really Common? My Personal Review

Ptosis Surgery Reviews -

Honest reviews, from correction to side effects, recovery period, and before-and-after photos.

I've often heard people say that my eyes always look sleepy.
When I take a picture, my eyes look stuffy and my double eyelid line is barely visible.

So it's not just a simple double eyelid surgery. Ptosis correction I was recommended.

 

It is easy to think that “ptosis” is just eye correction,
in fact Surgery to correct the eye-opening muscles themselves are you.

Why is ptosis correction necessary?

 

The purpose of regular double eyelid surgery is to create a line after making an incision in the skin.
But ptosis The muscle that lifts the eyelid (levator palpebrae superioris) This is weak
Since the eyes are not fully open, a simple incision will not be effective.

 

 

If you look sleepy like me or have narrow vision,
You need to directly control the strength of these muscles.
so A more difficult and delicate surgery than eye correction are you.

The surgical procedure went like this.

 

Consultation → Visual acuity and muscle function test →

Surgical design → Incision after local anesthesia

Adjust the length of the muscles inside the eyelid and redraw the line.

The surgery time was approximately 30 to 40 minutes per side.
I was able to be discharged the same day!

 

There was a slight stinging sensation when the anesthesia wore off.
It didn't hurt much.

Ptosis recovery period

 

I am Swelling lasts about 2 weeks I went.
In the first week, the eyes looked a little unnatural
I felt awkward about opening my eyes,

 

After about 3 to 4 weeks, the pupils are exposed

It changed naturally.

 

The stitches were removed after about a week.
After about a month, when going out

It's healed enough to allow makeup to be applied.

 

It is recommended that full recovery take 2 to 3 months.
As time passed, the lines also settled down smoothly. Haha

Ptosis Surgery Side Effects: What I Actually Experienced

 

Fortunately, I didn't have any major side effects.
However, the most common side effects I heard about in advance at the hospital are as follows 👇

 

• Asymmetry in eye height

• Line asymmetry

• Pulling when closing eyes

• dryness, foreign body sensation

• Need for reoperation (if muscle correction is too little or too much)

 

The results really vary depending on the doctor's skill.
Better than a hospital that does “eye correction and ptosis”
A plastic surgery clinic specializing in ptosis correction It is important to find .

Before and after photos of ptosis surgery, the difference is real.

 

If you compare before and after, the pupil exposure is clearly different.

I hear a lot of people say that it's clearer now.

 

 

However, at first, the double eyelids may feel high.
As the swelling goes down, it becomes more and more natural.
Once the lines are in place, the impression will definitely become clearer.

Ptosis Surgery Cost

 

It really varies from hospital to hospital.
1.2 million to 2.5 million won per side ,
Both sides are usually worth around 2 to 4 million won on average.

 

Choosing a surgeon with a lot of surgical experience is much more important than cost.
Because the surgery is delicate and there are large individual differences,
To reduce the chances of retouching or reoperation

It's better to have a thorough consultation from the beginning.
