Solutions for Weak Eyelid Muscles - Eyelid Levator Muscle Surgery to Open the Eyes

"My friends say I look like a bad guy." "Everyone says I look like I haven't slept enough." Many people want to get double eyelid surgery because of these concerns.

The main purpose of eyelid surgery is to create bright and expressive eyes, and the eyes are the most expressive feature of a face. This is why double eyelid surgery is the most popular cosmetic surgery in Taiwan. Double eyelid surgery creates an eyelid crease and tightens the eyelid, making the eyes appear larger and more expressive.

However, many cases of small eyes are not simply due to a lack of double eyelids; they may also be caused by drooping eyelids due to laxity of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. In such cases, simply raising the double eyelid crease may actually make the eyes appear even more lifeless.

Levator palpebrae superioris muscle surgery

The main function of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is to lift the upper eyelid and open the eyes. When the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is relaxed, the eyelids cannot open fully, giving the impression of being sleepy. In such cases, surgery is needed to tighten the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, allowing the eyes to open wider and improving a dull, lifeless appearance.
