3. Common Eyelid Muscle Lift Surgical Methods

Currently, there are several popular surgical methods for eyelid muscle lift as follows:

3.1. Eyelid Muscle Surgery

Eyelid muscle surgery involves identifying the circular muscle fibers, adjusting the eyelid lifting muscle, and cutting the muscle according to the degree of droop and muscle function, followed by suturing with absorbable stitches to attach the eyelid lifting muscle to the eyelid cartilage. The doctor will then continue to suture the upper circular muscle layer.

This method is indicated for cases of droopy eyelids and excess eyelid skin. It can also create a new eyelid crease that is beautiful, natural, and more harmonious according to the patient’s desires and needs.

3.2. Muller Muscle and Conjunctival Surgery

With the Muller muscle and conjunctival surgery method, the doctor will remove a portion of the posterior layer of the eyelid (including the upper edge of the cartilage, the lower part of the Muller muscle, and related conjunctival tissues). After that, adjustments will be made to the eyelid cartilage and skin while removing excess fat or skin, followed by suturing with absorbable stitches and dressing the wound.

This method is indicated for cases of mild ptosis where the eyelid lifting muscle still retains elasticity.

3.3. Eyelid Lifting Fold

The eyelid lifting fold is a method that combines with other cosmetic surgeries such as eyelid shaping and brow lift to create a new eyelid crease, addressing the issue of ptosis. At the same time, it elevates the brow structure, helping the skin around the eyes appear smoother and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

This method is indicated for patients with moderate to mild ptosis, where the eyelid lifting muscle still retains flexibility.

3.4. Brow Lift

The brow lift method is performed by the doctor to elevate the eyelids to the forehead muscle through incisions made under the eyelid muscle, thereby lifting the brows and creating an appropriate height for the eyelids. This effectively improves the condition of ptosis.

This method is typically recommended for cases where the function of the eyelid lifting muscle has diminished and is no longer able to function.
