Ptosis Correction Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
We've compiled some frequently asked questions about eye correction.
Q. What is the difference between double eyelid surgery and eye correction, and do they always have to be done together?
Double eyelid surgery is a surgery that literally creates double eyelids, and is a common surgery chosen when one is not satisfied with the shape of one's eyes, while eye correction is a surgery that strengthens the muscles that open the eyes to allow one to open the eyes more easily.
In other words, if you have a lack of eye opening strength in addition to cosmetic reasons, we recommend that you undergo double eyelid surgery and eye correction together.
Q. Is it possible to correct only one eye?
Yes, it is possible. However, if one eye has not been corrected, it may result in misalignment, so we recommend doing it on both eyes.
Q. In what cases is eye correction absolutely necessary?
Except for cases where the eyelids are not open enough, the only way to tell visually is by looking at the degree of pupil exposure.
Normally, 80% of the pupil is exposed, but in the case of those who need eye correction, the pupil may be exposed at 60%, giving the impression of being sleepy.
After Ptosis Correction Surgery
Precautions and Aftercare Tips
- Swelling or bruising may occur during the first two days after surgery, but it will gradually subside thereafter.
- Apply a small amount of ointment to the incision area twice a day using a cotton swab, just enough to keep the stitches from drying out.
- Cold compresses are recommended for the first 2–3 days after surgery. Place a thin towel or handkerchief over your eyes first, then place the hospital-provided ice pack on top for the compress.
- You can wash your face and apply makeup starting the day after your stitches are removed.
- Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on your eyes until the double eyelid crease fully settles.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses for about three weeks; if needed, use glasses or sunglasses during this period.
- Avoid aerobics, weight training, or intense workouts for at least 4 weeks, except for light walking.
- Avoid bending over or lying face down. Sleep with your head elevated on a soft pillow to help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Only take the painkillers and antibiotics prescribed by the clinic.
- Alcohol and smoking must be avoided for at least 4 weeks after surgery. Alcohol can trigger inflammation, and smoking constricts blood vessels, which can lead to skin damage, necrosis, or delayed wound healing at the surgical site.
- If you have an under-eye patch, remove it five days after surgery.
- Shake the prescribed eye drops (Tarivid) before use to prevent conjunctival swelling. Apply four times a day for up to two weeks — in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and before bed.
