Ptosis, Sleepy-looking eyes

Recently, blepharoplasty which is taken by celebrity became an issue. Most of eye surgeries are intended for the aesthetic improvement, but the main purpose of upper and lower blepharoplasty is to improve the function of eyes.

 Blepharoptosis (also called as Ptosis) is a condition in which the eyelids are drooping and eyes cannot be clearly opened. Eyes are generally works well when 80 to 90 percent of the pupils are visible, and if it is obscured further, it is easy to give an impression of sleepiness and can be suspected of blepharoptosis.
The main reason is that the muscles of the upper eyelids, which are muscles that lift eyelids, became weak so that eyelids cannot be fully lifted. It’s may be inherently underdeveloped, and may be due to acquired aging, nerve, and muscle damage.

If you have a blepharoptosis., you will use the forehead muscles instead of the upper part of the eye to open your eyes, which can cause wrinkles on your middle part of your forehead, headaches as well as impaired vision, poor eyesight, astigmatism, and many other symtoms.

If blepharoptosis is suspected, it is important to have your current eye condition accurately diagnosed, such as the thickness of your eyelid and the condition of your muscles before surgery. If not, your eye-line may look loose even after you took a surgery.

To improve the blepharoptosis, many operate non-cutting surgeries. It is a surgery to reverse the upper eyelid and then use a special thread to pull the upper eyelids together to help the upper eyelids to lift them up well. It is usually used to increase the length of the eyes, and is also helpful in correcting the less severe blepharoptosis.

Depending on the current state of the eye, the combination of incision and non-incision eyelid surgeries can improve your eyes more effectively.
Because blepharoplasty is a surgery for enhancement of functions unlike normal double eyelid surgery so it is important to pinpoint the cause of the problem.

In fact, some of the people who came for counseling were due to the blepharoptosis,
it is sometimes misunderstood as a blepharoptosis due to severe drooping eyelids, although the strength of the muscles is normal.
In this case, double eyelid surgery alone can improve the symptoms, so if you are considering blepharoplasty, it is important to choose a surgery suitable for your eye condition through sufficient consultation and accurate diagnosis with a plastic surgeon before the surgery.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes.

In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays.

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a
