Why Choose Sinsa L for Ptosis Repair

  • Periorbital focus: We specialize in eyelids—balancing levator strength, crease design, and brow position for bright, natural eyes.

  • Natural results: We lift the lid margin, not just remove skin—so you look refreshed, not over-operated.
  • Safety & clarity: Hospital-grade protocols, realistic expectations, and structured aftercare.
  • 国際対応: 明確な英語でのコミュニケーション、遠隔地からの写真相談、透明性のある見積もり、旅行を考慮したスケジュール設定。

What Is Ptosis?

Ptosis is true eyelid droop from weak or displaced lifting structures (levator/Müller’s muscle), not just extra skin. It can be:

  • Aponeurotic (age-related): Levator tendon stretching/slippage—common in adults.
  • 先天性: 小児期から存在し、挙筋機能が弱い場合がある。
  • Other types: Neurogenic/myogenic/mechanical (assessed case-by-case).

良い候補者は誰ですか?

  • Eyes look sleepy or half-closed; you lift your brows to see better
  • Low or uneven lid margin despite skin removal, or a low/unstable crease
  • Visual field feels narrowed from lid droop (functional)
  • 自分らしい明るい目が欲しい

Techniques We Offer

  • Levator Advancement / Resection
    Tightens or advances the levator aponeurosis to raise the lid margin; ideal for adult
    aponeurotic ptosis and many asymmetries.
  • MMCR (Müller’s Muscle–Conjunctival Resection)
    Shortens the posterior structures; suited to mild–moderate ptosis with good response to
    phenylephrine test and good levator function.
  • Frontalis Sling
    Connects the lid to the
    brow/frontals for severe or congenital ptosis with very poor levator strength.
  • Adjuncts
    Crease creation/revision, conservative skin/fat handling, or brow lift when lateral hooding contributes to heaviness.

Double Eyelid + Ptosis Repair (Common Combo)

まぶたの開きを改善し、まぶたのクリース(瞼挙筋)を安定させるデザインと、特にアジア人のまぶたの美容において重要なポイントである眼瞼挙筋の矯正を組み合わせることで、まぶたの開きを改善し、クリースを安定させることができます。お客様のお顔立ちに合わせて、クリースの高さ(低め/中め/高め、平行/内外)を調整いたします。

手術計画の立て方

  • Measurements: MRD1, levator excursion, brow compensation (Hering’s law), symmetry analysis
  • Candidacy: Tear film/dry-eye risk, contact lens history, prior surgery, photos
  • Design: Crease height/shape, amount of lift, scar strategy, need for adjuncts

Your Treatment Journey

  1. Consultation & Design – Measurements, photos, phenylephrine testing (when relevant), crease mapping.
  2. Pre-Op Prep – Health review and instructions (no smoking; adjust blood thinners as directed).
  3. 手術当日 – 折り目をつける作業の有無にかかわらず、精密なリフト(挙上筋/MMCR/スリング)。ほとんどの場合、手術当日に退院できます。
  4. Aftercare & Checks – Cooling, head elevation; stitch removal ~5–7 days; scheduled follow-ups for symmetry and refinement.

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

  • 1~3日目: 腫れ/圧迫感、軽いあざ、指示に従って冷湿布
  • 4~7日目: 抜糸; 必要に応じて潤滑剤を塗布
  • Week 2: Most bruising resolves; return to social settings
  • 3~6週目:残存腫脹が改善し、まぶたの高さやしわが治まる
  • Months 3–6: Final symmetry and scar maturation

アフターケアのヒント

Frequently Asked Questions

眼瞼下垂の修復と上眼瞼形成術は同じですか?いいえ。眼瞼下垂の修復はまぶたの縁(筋肉/腱)を引き上げる手術で、上眼瞼形成術は余分な皮膚/脂肪を除去します。機能面と美観の観点から、これらの手術を組み合わせることがよくあります。

Will my eyes look natural?
Yes—lift amount, crease height, and brow-lid harmony are customized to avoid a startled or over-elevated look.

How long do results last?
Results are typically long-lasting; aging continues, but proper technique and care help longevity.

Do I need both eyes done if only one is droopy?
Sometimes. Due to
Hering’s law and symmetry, bilateral fine-tuning can yield the most balanced result. We’ll advise after measurements.

When can I wear makeup or contacts?
Usually after clearance following stitch removal and once early swelling subsides.

I’m visiting from overseas—how long should I stay?
Many international patients plan
7–10 days for checks and stitch removal when applicable.
