Key Points of Vance Plastic Surgery Ptosis Correction

Prevention of Overcorrection

Fine adjustments that reduce discrepancies to as little as 1 mm help prevent overcorrection and achieve left-right symmetry.

Prevention of Forehead Wrinkles

By strengthening eyelid-opening power, it corrects the habit of raising the eyes with the forehead. This helps prevent forehead wrinkles and improve headaches.

Meticulous Suturing

With careful incisions and suturing, surgical marks are barely noticeable even when the eyes are closed.

Functional Improvement

Improves the field of vision and helps prevent eyelashes from irritating the eyes, frequent tearing, eye discharge, corneal damage, and more.

The Promise of Vance Plastic Surgery

We will create eyes you will want to look at yourself

That is why they should be defined, clear, and natural. Vance Plastic Surgery analyzes the eyes and face from multiple angles to create eyes that best suit your face.
