Ptosis, what is ptosis?

Upstairs is.

Congenital ptosis of the upper eyelid is mainly due to poor function of the levator palpebrae muscle (muscle weakness), which causes the upper eyelid to not lift normally, and massage cannot improve it.

I was born with ptosis of the upper eyelids and myopia of 700, which I dare not say that this is the main cause of myopia, but at least it also played a role in "fueling the fire", and I immediately felt that I could see brighter things than before after the surgery.

This surgery can be done by children, and when I went for the surgery, there were a few 7 or 8-year-old children doing it, but 1 year old was still too young. It is best to go to the plastic surgery department of a regular big hospital.

Congenital ptosis of the eyelids causes amblyopia too late, surgery needs to be performed as soon as possible, but the right time should be chosen.

The best time for surgery depends on the condition, if the eyelid drooping has obscured the vision, the sooner the surgery, the sooner the better.

However, if drooping eyelids only affect the appearance and do not affect the vision, the child can look forward like a normal person, and the surgery can be done later.

Beijing Children's Hospital has done a lot of this kind of surgery, and the technology is excellent, you can go to see it, don't delay the child's condition, the eyes are the windows of the soul!

Hello, the cause of ptosis needs to be identified by a specialist ophthalmologist. It is usually caused by trauma, congenital, palpebral weakness, myasthenia gravis, etc.

For adults, ptosis correction is only an effect on the appearance, in other words, as long as you don't mind, you can do it. For children, correction is necessary because ptosis can cause amblyopia during development.

Because I can't see the child's **, I can't judge the situation. It is advisable to consult several specialist ophthalmologists. I hope he will be soon**!

ptosis is best not to move it, as for whether it can be done, it mainly depends on his severity, if it is convenient, you can get in touch with us. Let's take a look at "Dr. Jiang Plastic Surgery Blog". Dr. Jiang is an authoritative expert in this field.

Definition: The upper eyelid (upper eyelid) covers some or all of the pupil and obstructs vision.

**: Weakening or loss of upper eyelid muscle function, caused by congenital or acquired factors: congenital (in children) is mostly caused by muscle dysplasia or neurodevelopmental disorders; Acquired diseases are mostly caused by lesions, generally oculomotor nerve palsy, levator palsy injury, sympathetic nerve disease, myasthenia gravis, inflammatory swelling of the upper blepharoplasty or neobiotics.

Classification: According to the extent of the upper eyelid covering the pupil, it is divided into mild, moderate, and severe

Mild ptosis eyelids cover the pupil to the extent of 2 4 mm, moderate ptosis eyelids cover the pupil to cover the pupil to the extent of 4 6 mm, severe ptosis eyelids cover the pupil to the extent of more than 6 mm.

The eyelids, commonly known as eyelids, are divided into upper and lower eyelids, which protect the cornea from trauma and prevent harsh glare from entering the eye. Usually seen eyelid ptosis refers to "ptosis", which is caused by damage or loss of the muscles, fascia, nerves and other functions that support the closure of the eyelids. It can be divided into congenital ptosis and acquired ptosis.

Under normal conditions, the upper eyelid margin covers the upper border of the cornea by 2 mm at eye level; Diagnosis is made by covering 2 mm with the frontalis muscle excluded.

The so-called ptosis, that is, the upper saline is drooping, this is the upper eyelid drooping, many people in the elderly, will cause the upper eyelid drooping, this phenomenon will cause the eye hair to rub against the eyeball, so it will affect the eye cornea, so most of the symptoms of ptosis, must be treated with certain medical treatment**.

Answer: Suggestion: Hello, when the eyes are looking straight ahead, the normal position of the upper eyelid margin should be between the upper edge of the cornea and the pupil.

Ptosis is both congenital and acquired. Can occur in one or both eyes. According to the weakening or disappearance of the function of the levator palpebrae superioris, it can be divided into complete and incomplete.

Ptosis refers to the insufficiency or loss of function of the levator palpebrae and Müller smooth muscles, resulting in partial or total ptosis of the upper eyelids, covering part of the pupil in mild cases, and completely covering the pupils in severe cases, and amblyopia in congenital cases. In order to overcome visual impairment, people with bilateral drooping need to look up to see things, forming a special posture of looking up and wrinkling their foreheads.

Hello, ptosis is the insufficiency or loss of the ** muscles of the upper eyelid, which slightly covers part of the pupil and severely affects vision.

In layman's terms, the upper eyelid is too large, resulting in no normal lifting of the upper eyelid.

Ptosis is very common and appears to be a dull eye, regardless of eye size. Some people, even if they have large eyes and ptosis, they will look dull, and long-term effort to open the eyes can easily lead to the deepening of forehead wrinkles.

With drooping eyelids, you need to raise your face to see everything. It is a symptom of qi deficiency and sagging.

Miraie Eye Device: I can see that the muscles are drooping.

Ptosis refers to the insufficiency or loss of the levator palpebrae and smooth muscles, resulting in partial or total ptosis of the upper eyelids, which will cover part of the pupil in mild cases and completely cover the pupils in severe cases.

Congenital patients can also cause amblyopia.

In order to overcome the visual impairment, people with bilateral drooping need to hold hands to see objects and form a special posture of looking up and wrinkling their foreheads.

Clause.

1. Increasing age.

Many people will age with the gradual growth of many parts of the body, and the same will happen to the eyelids, so the eyelids will have different degrees of drooping, and some people will be more obvious in this situation, so the drooping eyelids are also more serious.

Clause. 2. Congenital factors.

Some people have congenital ptosis, that is, after birth, which is often bilateral, which has a certain relationship with heredity, which may be caused by imperfect development of the neural nucleus, and some are accompanied by other ophthalmic diseases, such as strabismus.

Clause. 3. Acquired factors.

Acquired factors caused by ptosis, the specific ** can be divided into several kinds, one of which is oculomotor nerve palsy type of upper eyelid ptosis, which is caused by damage to the oculomotor nerve or nerve nucleus, which is usually unilateral, often accompanied by eye movement disorders, and sometimes diplopia. The second is sympathetic ptosis, usually after neck surgery, or trauma, or if you have a thyroid disease, there will be mild ptosis, and the patient will also have miosis. Third, myogenic ptosis is often caused by myasthenia gravis and progressive extraocular muscle paralysis, which can be more severe in the case of fatigue.

Fourth, mechanical ptosis is caused by diseases of the eyelids themselves, such as tumors or amyloid edema.

Ptosis eyelids may be a physiological phenomenon, some people have ptosis that affects vision, often by raising the chin to observe the surrounding things, can be corrected by small surgery on the eyelids, and has no effect on vision and other aspects. It may also be a lesion of the small muscles of the eyelids, which is a type of muscle disease, and there is a special disease, myasthenia gravis, which may be a manifestation of generalized muscle weakness in the eye muscles.

With the increase of age, due to the effect of aging and gravity, the height of the eyebrows will slowly decrease, and the upper eyelids will gradually sag.

At first, we just thought that the eyes were not good to look triangular shapes, but after a few years, the field of vision began to shrink because the eyelids obscured part of the vision. Eventually, the eyelids may be so heavy that they can't be opened, or even cause the eyelashes to bulge, causing photophobia, tearing, and blurred vision, which can be extremely uncomfortable.

Patients who present with drooping eyelids can be motivated by age

Thirty-five to fifty years old: mostly come for the love of beauty, hoping to improve the eye shape to catch the tail of youth.

Over 50 years old: Most of them come to improve uncomfortable symptoms, but if they can also be beautiful, of course, it is better, after all, it is human nature to love beauty.

Regardless of the patient's motivation, the following principles must be adhered to:

1. If the eyebrows droop severely, and the distance between the pupil and the upper edge of the eyebrows is less than 2.5 cm, you can consider:

For a scarless endoscopic forehead lift, general anesthesia is required, and eyelid drooping can be improved by raising the eyebrows; If the original sagging is very severe and the endoscopic facelift is not enough to completely correct it, you can cut the double eyelids one month after the surgery to get the most perfect result.

If the requirements for beauty are not so high, the financial difficulties or the doubts about general anesthesia, only double eyelid cutting can also improve to a certain extent.

2. Patients with forehead lines, frown lines or crow's feet:

Regardless of the distance between the pupil and the upper edge of the eyebrows, an endoscopic facelift can be considered, which can not only correct the drooping eyelids, but also eliminate wrinkles, and can have the effect of being 10 to 15 years younger.

3. If the eyebrow drooping is not serious, and the distance between the pupil and the upper edge of the eyebrow is more than 2.5 cm, the upper eyelid correction surgery, which is generally called double eyelid surgery, can have good results

Under forty years of age.

It can be improved by "permanent scarless suture method", which can generally be maintained for 5 to 10 years, and then consider double eyelid cutting or endoscopic facelift according to the situation; If you want to last longer, you can also cut the double eyelids directly.

Over forty years of age.

Most of them require a double eyelid incision to be completely corrected.

Aging is a natural process, no one is immune, the difference is only early or late, so there must be many people who have droopy eyelids. However, because Chinese people are more conservative, they are afraid of being ridiculed as "making trouble", "loving beauty", "going for plastic surgery even when they are so old", etc., or they do not know that drooping eyelids can be improved by surgery, so they will take action to seek help from plastic surgeons, and only a very small number of people will take action.

In fact, plastic surgery is not all about beauty, when the discomfort caused by drooping eyelids is enough to interfere with normal life, you may wish to seek professional help to broaden your vision and improve your quality of life.

After reading the above materials, we have a certain understanding of the main causes of drooping eyelids and some matters to pay attention to, then, in the future life, for the friends with drooping eyelids introduced above, don't worry too much, and choose a regular big hospital in time.

When people's eyelids reach a certain age, they will sag, and there are actually many reasons for this, and the direct cause may be aging, and the elasticity of ** will become smaller. So what should people do if they have droopy upper eyelids in middle age?

The eyes are the windows of the soul, if the eyelids droop, it will seriously affect the appearance, everyone is responsible for protecting the eyes, we cannot ignore the importance of the eyes.

Hello, ptosis of the upper eyelid can be improved by surgical methods, there are two common surgical methods, such as levator palpebris shortening, and there is a frontalis lift, pay attention to local hygiene, daily maintenance.

The main reason in young people is that the levator muscle of the upper eyelid is weak, and the eyebrow is needed to lift the eye, which will cause the upper eyelid to elongate and sag. The main reason for drooping eyelids in the elderly is aging and lack of elasticity, resulting in excess drooping that covers eyelashes and even pupils, affecting vision.

There are several reasons for drooping eyelids: the most common one in adults is **laxity, not ptosis, only manifested as **facial laxity, blocking the field of vision, but the position of the eyelid margin is still good, and only the reconstruction of the eyelid ** is required.
