I was diagnosed with congenital ptosis at an ophthalmology clinic. My pupils were so covered that I wanted my eyes to look bigger, and because I habitually used my forehead muscles and strained my eyes, I couldn’t even read books for long. It felt frustrating and stressful, so I had upper eyelid surgery at the plastic surgery department of a university hospital. On the first day, it was really itchy and felt like there was a bit of pressure on my eyes. After that, it gradually got better, and thankfully, I think it’s fair to say I had no side effects. And now, one month after surgery, I don’t use my forehead muscles at all. Choosing the plastic surgery department at a university hospital may have been a brilliant move?? I asked the professor whether ptosis correction and upper eyelid surgery were the same thing, and he said they’re different. The surgical principle is almost the same, but the purpose of the surgery differs functionally and cosmetically, and I also think ptosis correction may involve touching various areas here and there. Maybe that’s why upper eyelid surgery feels purely medical, so the risk of side effects seems much lower than with ptosis correction. If you have congenital ptosis like me, I genuinely recommend upper eyelid surgery, no matter what. I didn’t go to many consultations, but I also feel that university hospitals are safe. Of course, I... do still think about ptosis correction later because I want to become prettier even if I have to accept the risk of side effects?? But not everyone feels that way, so haha
