Eyelid Surgery: From A to Z What You Need to Know

Table of content

Although ptosis does not cause blindness, it does hinder the patient’s vision and cause serious aesthetic loss. Therefore, many people want to have ptosis surgery by cutting double eyelids to regain vision and beauty for the “window to the soul”. But before performing this minor surgery, you need to carefully research related issues. So what is it? The answer is right below. 

Causes of droopy eyelids

Congenital ptosis

According to doctors who have performed thousands of eyelid surgeries , there are many causes of myasthenia gravis. For example:

  • Congenital: Currently, 50 to 70% of ptosis cases are congenital or genetic. For example, simple congenital ptosis, combined congenital ptosis, ptosis due to third nerve palsy from birth or due to Marcuss-Gunn syndrome. 
  • Due to aging: As people age, their eyelids begin to sag, causing their vision to be obscured. The rate of people with ptosis due to aging is currently increasing rapidly.
  • Due to accidents: Falls or serious injuries to the eye area can also cause our eyelids to droop downward.
  • Due to pathology: People with blepharitis and other eye diseases can also cause myasthenia gravis. 

How to recognize droopy eyelids

Actually, the way to identify droopy eyelids is quite simple. You just need to use the naked eye to observe and you will notice that the upper eyelid often covers more than 1/5 of the diameter of the cornea, also known as the black part of the eye. 

If you compare it with the rest of your eye, you will see that the droopy eyelid has a narrowed pupil, so it is only half or one-third of the normal size. Therefore, the vision of people with droopy eyelids is often very limited and needs timely treatment or surgery.

Surgical methods to treat ptosis are currently applied

Currently, there are many surgical methods to treat ptosis that are widely applied to users. Depending on each different case, specialists will apply the corresponding eyelid lift technique such as:

Congenital ptosis surgery method

  • Shortening the levator muscle in the upper eyelid: This is one of the most difficult methods to perform today, so it requires highly skilled doctors. Because the practitioner must cut off the excess muscle in the most precise way so that the eyes return to their natural state. 
  • Upper eyelid fascia or eyelid suspension: Accordingly, doctors will use forehead muscle, silicone or thigh muscle fascia to tighten the upper eyelid. In many other cases, the above materials will be used to suspend the upper eyelid to the forehead muscle.

Non-congenital ptosis surgery

  • Eyebrow lift: This method is often applied to cases of droopy eyelids with excess skin and fat around them. Accordingly, these excess parts will be cut off to lift the eyebrow frame. Thanks to that, your eyes can open wider and look much more intelligent.
  • Eyelid surgery: This is a fairly simple procedure that can quickly improve mild droopy eyelids. In this case, the doctor will remove excess skin and fat to make your eyes look much wider than before.

Cost of droopy eyelid surgery

The cost of treating droopy eyelids ranges from 8 to 10 million VND/case.
The cost of treating droopy eyelids ranges from 8 to 10 million VND/case.

At reputable cosmetic hospitals today, the cost of eyelid surgery for drooping eyelids usually ranges from 8 million to 20 million VND/case. This number will be determined depending on the severity of the drooping eyelids, the skill of the performing doctor, the reputation of the facility, and the applied technology.
