Solutions for Side Effects After Ptosis Correction Surgery (Newspaper Article)
A professional guide on addressing side effects from ptosis correction, focusing on orbicularis oculi muscle damage and the importance of expert surgical techniques.
It has been a while since my last post.
The topic is:
Solutions for Side Effects After Ptosis Correction Surgery for Improving Blepharoptosis - K-Health
Around March, I received an interview request from reporter Shim Ji-seon of K-Health. The goal was to provide accurate medical information to counter the overflow of misleading plastic surgery content.
The original article link is as follows: http://www.k-health.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=47914
The main points of the content are as follows.
Side effects do not necessarily occur because of the ptosis correction itself, but rather due to repeated incisional methods or damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle, which can result in the eyes not closing fully or other complications.
The first photo shows the condition one week after surgery; while the eyes may not close completely at this stage, they usually descend and close properly over time.
However, if the orbicularis oculi muscle is damaged, the inability to close the eyes can become permanent.
This individual has suffered damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle.
Since the incisional method requires a high level of technical skill, I recommend undergoing the procedure with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is highly proficient in surgery.
