• According to physiognomy: Some individuals with a downward slant of the eyes often experience an unstable life, facing many challenges. In love and marriage, they may also encounter difficulties.

4. Effective ways to correct a downward slant of the outer eye

Depending on the specific condition of each person’s downward slant of the outer eye, there will be different treatment methods available. Below are the most common methods that doctors consider suitable for improving a downward slant of the outer eye.

4.1. Eyelid Surgery

One of the effective methods to address the issue of a downward slant of the outer eye isDroopy eyelids are upper eyelid surgery. This technique helps reshape the eyelid area, removing excess skin with many wrinkles and fat at the outer corners of the eyes. As a result, it makes the eyes appear larger and deeper, addressing the issue of ptosis and drooping outer corners.

Upper eyelid surgery is suitable for those with monolids, hidden eyelid creases; uneven double eyelids with many creases; or experiencing ptosis due to excess fat, sagging skin, and drooping at the upper eyelid crease.

At Dr. Eye, we currently offer two types of upper eyelid surgery: full upper eyelid surgery and mini upper eyelid surgery, both of which help create clear, natural, balanced eyelid creases that harmonize with each client’s overall facial features. Clients can feel confident undergoing upper eyelid surgery at Dr. Eye because:

4.2. Brow Lift

Brow lift is a method to reshape the brow area, eyes, and partially remove excess skin. During the procedure, the doctor will excise excess skin along the lower brow, primarily the outer third of the upper eyelid, using an incision close to the lower brow edge or removing part of the brow tail. This lifts sagging muscles, reduces eye corner wrinkles, enhances the eyelid crease, and raises the brow to improve vision affected by ptosis and droopy eye corners.

This method for correcting droopy eye corners is also suitable for individuals with excess skin on the upper eyelids, sagging that obscures the eyelid, crow’s feet at the outer corners; those wanting to conceal tattoo errors, along with excess skin and sagging on the upper eyelid; and to hide scars from previous surgeries.

Currently, Dr. Eye’s brow lift services include methods such as suture brow lift, endoscopic brow lift, and direct brow lift.Depending on the client’s droopy outer eye condition, the doctor will proactively choose a minimally invasive intervention method that still provides optimal treatment results.

4.3. Combination of Upper Eyelid Surgery and Brow Lift

The method of combining upper eyelid surgery and brow lift not only addresses the droopy eyelid condition causing the outer eye to sag but also removes excess skin sagging on the upper eyelid, reduces eye-area wrinkles, and improves uneven eyelid creases or hidden eyelids. This helps the eyes appear larger, more natural, and harmonious with the face.

In particular, Dr. Eye clinic has combined both services simultaneously to achieve higher effectiveness, resulting in clearly defined double eyelids and a naturally elevated brow that makes the client’s face look youthful and radiant.

However, after being examined and consulted by the doctor, Ms. Nhi agreed to undergo treatment following a plan that combined upper eyelid surgery and brow lift. Now, Ms. Nhi’s eyes are larger and clearer, with naturally even eyelid creases and improved appearance, with no more droopy outer eyes or crow’s feet.
