上睑下垂症是眼皮下垂的一种病症。严重的情况下,下垂的眼睑甚至会覆盖瞳孔而导致周边视力退。患者会潜意识不断地提高其上眼睑以获得更清晰的视力,因此也会导致疲劳和头痛。
上睑下垂患者经常抱怨说,眼皮下垂使他们看起来像是不专心、困倦或生气。患者也觉察到自己的视力受影响。
以下因素会导致上睑下垂症:

上眼睑下垂可分为轻度,中度和重度。上睑下垂矫正手术无论是美容类或医疗类都因轻重程度而异。
上睑下垂经常通过手术矫正以便恢复功能及外型,因此可以申请使用保健储蓄保险(Medisave)。
根据上睑下垂的严重度,矫正类型将有所不同。轻度上眼睑的修正可以使用无疤缝合技术进行。
中度或重度上睑下垂需借以手术切口来提升上眼睑的肌肉。何医生采用改良的“underthrough”技术达到提升上眼睑的效果。
手术全程大概需要一到两个小时并且在局部麻醉下完成。
如果您下垂的眼睑影响到或已完全阻挡了您的视力,您需要进行上睑下垂矫正。
何医生会和您详细讨论和测量眼瞳中心及上眼睑之间的距离,又称边缘反射距离。当距离低于一定水平时就需要进行上睑下垂矫正。
眼皮下垂矫正术是一个非常普遍的手术,通常在门诊就能进行,这意味着患者不需要在医院过夜。医生会使用麻醉药,确保患者整个手术过程中舒适。术后病人会觉察到轻微的肿胀和瘀青,这将在几天内减轻并且通常不会留疤痕。
手术由何耀明医生主刀。何医生曾在韩国受训,在精密的眼科整形手术方面拥有丰富的经验。在使施手术前,何医生会和患者沟通详并进行面部分析,了解到每个患者的个人特点和需求后,再提出专业的建议。 患者在充分了解了治疗过程并排除了他们到疑问后,就会有信心做出决定进行“上睑下垂”矫正术。
The type of ptosis surgery or droopy eyelid correction techniques used will depend on how your ptosis has been graded. For example, correction of mild upper eyelid ptosis may be performed with a scarless suture technique.
If your ptosis is caused by an underlying medical condition, your doctor would treat you for that instead, which would inadvertently treat the problem of the droopy eyelid without the need for surgery.
Dr Samuel Ho will measure the distance from your pupil’s centre and to the upper eyelid. This is called the marginal reflex distance. When the distance is below a certain level, then ptosis correction is required.
Ptosis Correction Singapore is a common procedure done on an outpatient basis.
Patients experience minor swelling and bruising around the eyes which will diminish in a week or 2. There are usually no visible scars as a result of eyelid surgery.
