This is absolutely unbearable for people who love beauty. So, is upper eyelid lifting useful? Let’s take a look with the editor below.

As a result, the upper eyelid skin becomes extremely loose and sagging, and the upper eyelid cannot be lifted upwards, causing the palpebral fissure to become smaller and deformed, and even completely covering the outer corner of the eye, seriously affecting vision and making the person look sleepy.

Surgical method:

The frontalis muscle flap downward suspension surgery is suitable for any type of ptosis, especially patients with severe ptosis, but the patient's frontalis muscle should be functional and the correction effect should exist. Mild to moderate ptosis can be corrected by shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscles.
