Drooping double eyelids are actually a normal phenomenon that occurs as we age, but we can also improve it through surgery. Let’s learn how to repair sagging double eyelids.

What surgery is needed for droopy eyelids?

1. Skin sagging due to aging

As we age, the skin on the upper eyelids gradually becomes loose, and the loose skin will compress the double eyelid line, causing the double eyelids to gradually become narrower and droop, thus forming inner double eyelids or triangular eyes.

Solution: Double eyelid surgery with incision

2. Excessive fat on the upper eyelid

When there is too much fat in the upper eyelid, the fat will compress the skin and slowly cover the double eyelid line. Some people with too much fat may even compress the upper eyelashes, making the eyelashes look droopy.

Ptosis can cause the upper eyelid to cover part or all of the pupil, resulting in the appearance of droopy double eyelids.

Solution: Lift the upper eyelid and shorten the upper eyelid muscle

4. Too little skin fat is processed during double eyelid surgery

If too little skin or fat is processed during double eyelid surgery, the double eyelids will feel compressed due to sagging and heavy pressure, resulting in double eyelids or sagging.

How to repair sagging double eyelids

Ultrasonic double eyelid surgery does not require surgery, is non-traumatic, and is lifelong; there is no need to remove stitches, and there is no scarring. It is painless and has a quick recovery. Ultrasonic double eyelid surgery uses a completely different principle from other methods. Ultrasonic waves are used to eliminate fat, so that the tarsal plate and the skin form a fixed connection in the right position to form double eyelids. Here, although the removal of fat forms double eyelid wrinkles, how can the tarsal plate and the skin form a fixed connection in the right position and stabilize it? Ultrasonic double eyelid surgery uses the pressure line method.

This method is also superior to other fixation methods. This technology can control the position of fat masses through ultrasound according to your personal requirements, and liquefy the corresponding parts to adjust the width of double eyelids, so as to achieve the double eyelid effect you want most. According to the "Liang Jie Double Eyelid Formula", the width of double eyelids suitable for each person is calculated, and accurate quantification is achieved. For those who have not succeeded in double eyelids with other methods or are not satisfied with the results, it only takes one time to achieve perfect double eyelid repair.

How to treat droopy eyelids

Usually, drooping double eyelids is a common symptom of ptosis in clinical practice. This symptom is caused by poor function of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. According to the cause of the disease, it is usually divided into congenital ptosis and acquired ptosis. For congenital ptosis, surgical treatment is usually considered. If the pupil is covered, surgery should be performed as soon as possible to avoid amblyopia, especially for patients with one eye. For acquired ptosis, the treatment plan should be determined according to the specific cause. If the ptosis is caused by neurological diseases, or other eye or systemic diseases, the cause or drug treatment should be carried out first, such as vitamin drugs, energy mixtures, Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and physical therapy. If the symptoms cannot be relieved after more than half a year of treatment, surgical correction is recommended.

Causes of sagging eyelids

1. Causes of drooping eyelids include oculomotor nerve paralysis ptosis

It is caused by damage to the oculomotor nerve or nerve nucleus, usually unilateral, often accompanied by eye movement disorders and sometimes diplopia.

2. Causes of ptosis include sympathetic nerve paralysis ptosis

This is a partial symptom of sympathetic nerve paralysis, which is more common in patients with neck surgery, trauma and thyroid. It is manifested as mild ptosis of the upper eyelid, slightly higher position of the lower eyelid to form a small palpebral fissure, sunken eyeballs, and pupil constriction, which constitutes Horner's syndrome.

3. Causes of drooping eyelids include myogenic ptosis

It is common in myasthenia gravis and progressive extraocular muscle paralysis. The degree of ptosis caused by myasthenia gravis increases with fatigue. It is mild in the morning and worse at night when you are tired. After injection of neostigmine, the symptoms are significantly improved.

4. Causes of drooping eyelids include mechanical ptosis

It is caused by eyelid lesions, such as tumors, amyloidosis, severe trachoma, inflammatory edema, trauma, tissue proliferation (elephantiasis), etc. In addition to directly damaging the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, the lesions also cause eyelid hypertrophy, leading to mechanical ptosis. There is also an unexplained ptosis, namely senile myopathy ptosis, which is caused by primary muscle atrophy and is bilateral, and is more common in elderly women.
