Side Effects and Complications of Incisional Ptosis Correction: Understanding the Risks

Recently, ‘ptosis correction surgery’ has become increasingly common.

When I first started performing ptosis correction 15 years ago, it wasn’t such a frequent procedure.

Nowadays, ptosis correction (blepharoptosis surgery) has become quite popularized.

In the past, because the surgery wasn’t as common, many people used makeup techniques to make their eyes appear larger. If you look at old videos on YouTube, celebrities often appear to have smaller or slightly sleepier-looking eyes than they do today.

The cases where ‘incisional ptosis correction side effects’ occur are truly diverse.

The case above is one where the eye does not open properly due to the formation of adhesions.

In such cases, the adhesions must be carefully released and the incisional ptosis correction must be performed correctly.

This type of case is extremely difficult because the levator muscle (the muscle that opens the eye) has been damaged.

When talking about the eye, I often compare it to a wafer cookie.

The eye is divided into an incredibly large number of layers like this.

However, the total thickness is only a few millimeters.

The core of the surgery lies in performing a clean dissection of these layers. Especially in revision surgeries, these parts are often stuck together, so they must be separated with great care.

It’s similar to the childhood game of carefully carving out a shape from Dalgona candy to win another one.

However, experiencing such ‘ptosis correction side effects’ or ‘complications’ is rare.

There is no need to worry excessively beforehand, as an experienced surgeon can perform the procedure successfully.

While a plane can crash, it doesn’t mean they all do; in fact, there is no mode of transportation as safe as an airplane when managed correctly.
