We explained the causes of puffy eyes.

The eyelid is formed by the anterior and posterior layers. To create a double eyelid, it is necessary to create a connecting structure between the anterior layer (skin, orbicularis oculi muscle) and the posterior layer (levator aponeurosis, Müller's muscle, conjunctiva).

However, if they move out of sync and in disarray, they end up looking like ham eyes.

 

This time, we'll discuss ways to avoid puffy eyes and methods for correcting them.

◎Tips to Avoid Looking Tired

・Double eyelid width suited to the bone structure

With the recent trend toward natural-looking double eyelids that aren't too wide, it's less likely to result in a "ham-like" appearance, but...

Deep-set eyes combined with thick eyelids increase the risk of droopy eyes.

If you already have droopy eyelids during the preoperative double eyelid simulation using a probe, you will almost certainly have droopy eyelids after surgery.

In that case, we'll slightly narrow the double eyelid width and redesign it.

The buried suture method is less likely to cause a hamster cheek appearance than the full incision method.Therefore,When creating wide double eyelids, we recommend the buried suture method.There are things to do.

We propose surgical procedures tailored to each patient's individual bone structure, eyelid thickness, and desired double eyelid width.

・Balancing front and rear sections

When the upper eyelid has greater volume due to factors such as a wide double eyelid crease or thicker skin/orbicularis oculi muscle,

The force of the posterior lobe trying to open the eyes may weaken, making it difficult to open the eyes.

We perform procedures to improve eye opening (strengthening the posterior muscle, known as ptosis surgery) as a preventive measure.

 

◎How to Fix Ham Eyes

① Buried suture removal → Re-buried suture or full incision

・Recommended for people like this

No history of full incision

I want to strengthen the double indentation.

I also want to narrow the double eyelid width.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We will remove the buried sutures and later reinsert them at a lower position than before to adjust the double eyelid width.

If you have a history of multiple previous埋没手術 procedures or complex suture placement, it may be impossible to remove the double eyelid.

In such cases, we perform a full incision revision, remove the sutures from the direct buried suture method, and eliminate the double eyelid crease.

 

② Eyelid Skin Resection

・Recommended for people like this

I'm satisfied with the double indentation.

I want to fix my droopy eyes while maintaining the appearance of double eyelids.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excess skin above the eyelashes is removed in strips several millimeters wide to eliminate the puffiness of droopy eyes.

 

 

③ Full incision

・Recommended for people like this

History of full incision

I want narrow double eyelids.

We will make a new incision closer to the lash line than the previous one to recreate the double eyelid.

If sutured as is, unexpected double eyelid lines may appear, sometimes two or three in number.

Using techniques such as fat redistribution, closure suturing, and lifting methods, we create the planned double eyelid line.

 

◎Notes on Corrections

The timing for revision surgery is 3 to 6 months or more after the initial procedure.

Reoperation performed too soon carries the risk of causing damage to the tissue.

Revision surgery is more challenging than the initial procedure, and the surgeon's experience and anatomical knowledge significantly impact the outcome.

Our clinic has extensive experience in upper eyelid correction surgery, including hamstring correction.

Through careful examination and counseling, we provide customized treatment tailored to each individual.

We have a comprehensive post-operative follow-up system in place, so please feel free to consult with us with confidence.
