In real life, many people suffer from ptosis due to congenital factors, which will not only affect the visual quality of the eyes, but also be ridiculed by others. Therefore, some people choose to have ptosis correction surgery to improve. Some children are young, because ptosis causes amblyopia, so now many parents want to know how many years it is better to have surgery for ptosis? Next, we will give you a detailed science popularization for such problems, hoping to help you.
1、 How old is blepharoptosis?
In general, the correction of ptosis can be better improved before the age of 6 years. If it is mild ptosis, it generally does not affect the development of vision. If it is severe blepharoptosis, which blocks the pupil of the eye, it should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent children from amblyopia. However, the specific situation should be determined according to the doctor's advice.
2、 What is the correction principle of ptosis?
The principle of blepharoptosis correction is to improve the levator muscle tissue of the upper eyelid and nerve tissue that cannot function normally through surgery, so as to better improve the upper eyelid, improve it to the normal position, and restore normal vision.
What are the methods of correcting ptosis?
1. Frontal muscle flap method: This method is more suitable for people with severe ptosis, because this method only needs to make a small incision along the marked place of the double eyelid, which can separate local tissues to complete the operation and enlarge the eyes. The fruits can be kept for a long time after the operation, avoiding the step of removing the thigh tendon membrane, so that more can be done at one stroke.
2. Levator palpebrae superioris muscle shortening: This method is more suitable for people with mild ptosis. It shortens the levator palpebrae superioris muscle tissue by surgery to raise the upper eyelid, which can enlarge the eyes. Since this operation can keep the original walking and movement direction of the muscles and meet the normal physiological needs of the eyes, the postoperative results are relatively ideal.
3. Wide fascia suspension method: during the operation, a small piece of wide fascia needs to be removed from the cosmetic thigh, and then connected with the frontal muscle and the upper eyelid. Because the use of the frontal muscle to contract the local upper eyelid tissue strength can make the eyes larger, and the fruit is natural after the operation. The height of the eyelid fissure and the shape of the eyelid are relatively stable after the operation.
What are the precautions after correction of ptosis?
1. After the correction of ptosis, the eyelid is swollen and painful. At this time, cold compress can be used to improve, but the strength should be mild.
2. Pay attention to food conditioning, do not eat spicy and irritating food, keep your eyes clean and dry, try to avoid water on the surgical site to prevent infection.
3. In the recovery phase, do not rub the eye wound with force, but apply scar ointment on the eye to prevent scar hyperplasia.
4. During the recovery process, open your eyes with more force, which is conducive to reducing swelling and forming a natural double eyelid shape.
