Solutions and Treatments for Ptosis Correction Side Effects (Presented at the July 2024 Oculoplastic Surgery Symposium)
Learn about the solutions for ptosis correction side effects, such as overcorrection or loosening, as presented at the 2024 Oculoplastic Surgery Symposium.
Solutions and Treatments for Ptosis Correction Side Effects
This content was presented at the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group Symposium held on July 14, 2024.
If ptosis correction becomes loose after surgery, the double eyelid line may become higher or the fold may unravel.
Alternatively, if overcorrection occurs, the eyes may open excessively wide.
In some cases, there may be excessive mucosal exposure (eyelid flipping).
I presented on these topics to an audience of board-certified plastic surgeons.
Approximately 700 people attended, and I am very pleased that the event was held so successfully.
Frequently Asked Questions
What symptoms appear if the eye correction surgery loosens?
Yes, symptoms such as the double eyelid line becoming higher and loosening may appear. If the corrected part after eye correction surgery loosens, the existing double eyelid line may be deformed, leading to side effects such as the line becoming abnormally high or completely loosening, so caution is needed.
What happens if overcorrection occurs during eye correction?
If overcorrection occurs, the eyes will open abnormally wide. If excessive correction is performed beyond what is necessary during eye correction, side effects such as unnaturally wide-open eyes may appear, which should be resolved through accurate diagnosis and treatment by a plastic surgeon.
Can the conjunctiva appear exposed after eye correction?
Yes, a side effect of excessive conjunctival exposure can occur. If the adjustment is incorrect during eye correction surgery and overcorrection occurs, the conjunctiva inside the eye may be excessively exposed and appear lifted, so a professional solution is needed.
