Can droopy eyelids be corrected with a brow lift?
- Consultation is crucial: A direct examination by a doctor is necessary to diagnose any eye conditions accurately.
- Types of ptosis: Droopy eyelids can be congenital or acquired, with various underlying causes influencing treatment options.
- Brow lift vs. eyelid procedure: The suitability of a brow lift or double eyelid procedure depends on the severity of ptosis and levator muscle function.
- Scar care tips: Fresh turmeric can be applied to scars for improvement, and a turmeric-honey mask may help with burn scars.
Regarding Ngọc’s question, Dr. Ngô Xuân Dung – the lead physician at Á Đông Aesthetic Clinic – advises as follows: To accurately determine whether you have an eye infection or any ocular condition, you should visit a doctor for a direct examination. Only then can a precise diagnosis be made.
“Regarding droopy eyelids, whether a brow lift or double eyelid procedure is suitable depends on identifying the underlying cause, the severity of the ptosis, and the function of the levator muscle. Based on these factors, the doctor will determine whether a brow lift or eyelid procedure is appropriate for you.”
“Ptosis is generally classified into two main types: congenital and acquired. Congenital ptosis occurs due to partial or complete underdevelopment of the levator muscle during fetal development and may affect one or both eyes. Acquired ptosis can develop at any time after birth, with causes including trauma, myasthenia gravis, third nerve palsy, eyelid tumors, burns, or previous surgery.”
“Drooping eyelids and eyebrows are more commonly seen in older individuals or after childbirth, and are quite rare at your age. In your case, a thread brow lift may provide noticeable improvement, whereas eyelid stitching (non-surgical double eyelid method) may not achieve optimal results. However, an in-person examination by a qualified doctor is essential for an accurate assessment.”
“When you have time, Ngọc, you can visit Á Đông Aesthetic Clinic at 39/2 Sương Nguyệt Ánh Street, Bến Thành Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City for a direct consultation with Dr. Dung.”
“Additionally, for scar care, you can use fresh turmeric by cutting a piece and applying it directly to the scar regularly. Over time, the scar may gradually fade. You may also mix turmeric powder with honey to create a mask to help improve burn scars.”.
