Ptosis is a common eye deformity, its existence may not only damage the health of individuals, but also have a significant impact on the appearance and beauty of the eyes, making beautiful women can not tolerate its existence. So, what is the cause of ptosis?
According to the interpretation of plastic surgeons, the causes of ptosis include both congenital factors and acquired factors. In terms of congenital, it is mainly bilateral, and usually has a certain degree of heredity, which can be dominant or recessive. The main reason for this phenomenon is the incomplete development of oculomotor nucleus or levator muscle. In addition to ptosis, the former may also be accompanied by paralysis of other extraocular muscles or epicanthus, while the latter is mostly simple ptosis. From an acquired perspective, ptosis may be caused by mechanical factors, myogenic factors, neurogenic factors and other factors.
The plastic surgeon further explained that both congenital and acquired ptosis can be divided into unilateral and bilateral types. Among the congenital factors, the weakness or fatigue of the levator muscle of the upper eyelid and the poor development of the oculomotor nerve may be the causes of ptosis. The acquired ptosis may be related to neuropathy, external injury, fracture compression, scar contracture, edema, hematoma or tumor.
In the degree of ptosis, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Even mild and moderate ptosis means that levator palpebrae superioris still has certain function. However, if the upper eyelid is drooping on one side, it will cause the visual effect of one eye being bigger and one eye being smaller, which is also not beautiful. When the ptosis is severe, it means that the levator muscle has completely lost its function and the patient can hardly open his eyes, which will not only seriously affect the appearance of the individual, but also cause great trouble in learning, work and daily life.
In the case of congenital ptosis, drug therapy alone is often ineffective, while surgical correction can achieve better results. The acquired ptosis should be treated according to the specific etiology. At the beginning, myasthenia gravis needs to be ruled out. The ultimate goal of the surgery is to raise the drooping upper eyelid, restore the normal blepharoplasty height, expose the pupils, expand the vision, prevent amblyopia, correct the abnormal shape and improve the appearance of the face. The treatment of blepharoptosis should not only focus on functional recovery, but also pursue aesthetic effects.
2024 is in a period of vigorous development, and medical beauty hospitals should also constantly improve their own medical beauty level and service quality in response to the development requirements of the times. Since its establishment, the hospital has been focusing on plastic surgeons to provide services. The leadership team of the hospital has always maintained an enterprising and innovative attitude, and constantly promoted the improvement and optimization of the management system of medical teaching and research and ideological and political work. Now the hospital management has realized the development mode of computerization and systematization; At the same time, the hospital has also won many honors. In order to better serve the majority of plastic surgeons, the hospital has always adhered to the guiding ideology of "taking plastic surgeons as the center" and actively provided quality services. This development goal not only conforms to the future trend of the medical beauty industry, but also reflects the hospital's commitment to social responsibility.
