Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sleepy eyes?

Sleepy eyes primarily occur when the strength to open the eyes is weak or when the eyelids are sunken, giving a tired impression. This can make one look stuffy or older than their actual age.

How can sunken eyelids be resolved?

Sunken eyelids can be improved through fat grafting. By transplanting fat into the eyelids to add volume, the tired and sleepy impression can be improved, and a more youthful effect can be achieved.

In what cases is non-incisional ptosis correction suitable?

Non-incisional ptosis correction is suitable for those who are hesitant about incisional methods, and it helps to naturally improve the stuffy impression caused by weak eye-opening strength. It can create a natural line that suits the face without being excessive.

Can sunken eyelids also be improved after ptosis correction?

No, ptosis correction alone does not directly resolve sunken eyelids. In this case, ptosis correction was performed in conjunction with eyelid fat grafting to naturally resolve the hollowness and complete a more youthful appearance.

What surgical methods were used in this case?

In this case, non-incisional ptosis correction to improve eye-opening strength, epicanthoplasty for a refreshed eye shape, and eyelid fat grafting to address sunken eyelids were planned and performed together.
