Upper Eyelid Levator Correction

Upper Eyelid Levator Correction

Surgery Features

♦The eyes are not only windows of the soul, Upper Eyelid Elevator Correction creates a “high spirited” look, a dream come true for glamorous eyed babe wannabes.

Targeting the levator aponeurosis in minimally invasive surgery for double eyelids, the thin levator aponeurosis is appropriately lifted to increase the black-eyed ratio and create the high-spirited visual highlight, thus creating the effect of splendid eyes, as if permanent corneal enlargers are worn. After 1-2 months of postoperative recovery, glamorous eyes are created. Due to the shortened levator aponeurosis after surgery, the height of the double eyelid and its firmness may be amplified in the early stage. After one to three months of healing, the tightness will slowly relax, retuning to the normal appearance.

Surgical Approach

Separate the upper eyelid levator and enhance the trimming. Lift the thin levator aponeurosis and tie it firmly. Increase the black-eyed ratio.

 

1.Pull the levator palpebrae superiors muscle to the muscle and aponeurosis area. Fixate the upper part of the aponeurosis at the tarsal plate to create tarsal lifting results.

2.After fixating the levator palpebrae superiors muscle, the upper eyelid will be naturally lifted. Based on the interval between the upper and the lower eyelid, determine whether or not the height of the lifted and tightened levator palpebrae superiors aponeurosis is symmetrical.

3.Through the strength of the levator palpebrae superiors muscle, determine if the levator palpebrae superiors suture needs to be strengthened to achieve the required black-eyed ratio.

Precautions

1.In epicanthoplasty, the incision should not be too big or concentrated in the medial canthus. By loosening the epicanthal fold, good results can be achieved.
 
2.Do not remove excessive skin, because the medial canthus skin with excessive scarring will cause scar formation due to the tension of the suture.
 
3.Due to Asians’ physical constitution and despite the continual surgical improvement and the name “scarless epicanthoplasty”, a scar is generally left, requiring makeup to cover the scar. The purpose of this procedure is to create brighter and more spirited eyes.
 
4.Avoid bending over to shampoo hair after surgery, bowing for prolong periods of time, and laborious work. Elevate the pillow during sleep to facilitate circulation.
 
5.術後不可揉眼睛或做會使眼壓升高的行為(如：哭泣、用眼過度)，因易造成腫脹且易延長消腫時間。
 
6.睡前應避免攝取過多的水分，也可將枕頭墊高，以減少眼睛腫脹及不適。
 
7.Massage the scar after about two weeks. During massage, press from the medial canthus to the tip of the eye with the finger pulp more than four times a day and for 2-5 minutes each time. Massage at fixed points. Massage may be more painful at first, and obvious bumps and hardening can be felt when pressed, but they will soften in time. Continuous massage for 1-3 month’s is recommended.

Q&A

Ｑ：Does slight eyelid drooping (Myasthenia Gravis) require surgery, or Botox injection alone will do?

Ａ：Basically, eyelid drooping (i.e. Myasthenia Gravis) cannot be treated through Botox. A clinic consultation is recommended to precisely determine whether or not surgery is required.
