Lowering the Inner Corner of the Eye: Ptosis Correction Surgery to Change Your Impression

Lowering the Inner Corner of the Eye: Ptosis Correction Surgery to Change Your Impression

In this post, we will discuss lowering the inner corner of the eye.

When the inner corner of the eyelid fold is too thick, it can often look unnatural.

In this case, the front part of the eyelid line is high, and the inner corner area makes the eyes look somewhat sleepy.

Using the ‘double-line’ technique (skin-fold lowering), we lowered the thick double eyelid at the front and performed ptosis correction specifically on the inner section.

This is one week after the surgery. Although swelling remains, the eye shape itself has already changed.

Previously, the eye shape had a certain feel:

But now, it has been transformed into a more rounded and softer impression.

The swelling will gradually subside, and the eyes will look even more beautiful once it is gone. I am glad the shape turned out so well.

As a side note, ptosis correction at the inner corner of the eye is quite difficult and has a high rate of recurrence.

The true skill lies in correcting it properly so that it does not recur.

In many cases, the eyelid may drop back down just one week after surgery if not handled correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What surgery is needed if the double eyelid fold at the inner corner of the eye is too thick?

Yes, it can be improved with the double-line incision technique and partial ptosis correction. By lowering the thick double eyelid line at the front and correcting the sleepy-looking eyes, you can achieve a more natural and rounded impression.

When does the swelling subside after surgery, and when can I see the effects?

You can observe a clear change in your eye shape starting from one week after surgery. At the one-week mark, there will still be some swelling, but you can feel that the overall eye shape has become rounder. After that, as the swelling gradually subsides, the shape will become even more natural and beautiful.

What should I be aware of when undergoing ptosis correction surgery at the inner corner of the eye?

The most important thing to be aware of is the high recurrence rate. Ptosis correction at the inner corner of the eye is difficult, and recurrence is frequent, with the eyelid often drooping again just one week after surgery. Therefore, precise technical skill is essential to ensure effective correction without recurrence.

Does ptosis correction need to be done on the entire eye?

No. If necessary, ptosis correction can be selectively performed only on the inner corner of the eye. If the inner corner of the eye is thick and appears sleepy, correcting only that part with the double-line incision technique can soften the overall impression.
