The eyes are often the first thing we notice, and their symmetry can define our entire facial harmony. For some, a slight difference in the height of the eyelids—a condition known as ptosis—can create an asymmetry they wish to correct. The goal of modern oculoplastic surgery isn’t to change who you are; it’s to refine and enhance your natural features. Dr. Jason Sabet-Peyman specializes in advanced techniques that achieve this balance with precision and subtlety.
A Patient’s Journey to Symmetrical Eyes
A recent patient from Orange County came to us seeking a subtle refinement for her eyelids. She had a slight asymmetry, with her right upper eyelid resting a little lower than her left. For patients with this concern, the goal is often to restore a sense of balance and openness to their gaze.
Dr. Sabet-Peyman performed a right upper eyelid internal ptosis repair (a Mullerectomy). Because the procedure is scarless and designed for precision, it was the ideal choice to elevate the eyelid to its natural position. The result was a beautifully symmetrical and refreshed appearance that looked entirely her own. The patient was delighted with the natural-looking harmony achieved.
Procedural Breakdown: What is Internal Ptosis Repair (Mullerectomy)?
An internal ptosis repair, or Mullerectomy, is a sophisticated procedure that corrects a drooping eyelid from the inside, leaving no visible scar. It’s an ideal solution for many individuals, particularly for refining Asian eyelids, as it honors the eye’s natural anatomy.
The technique involves these key steps:
- Internal Access: The eyelid is gently lifted to work on the inner surface, making the entire procedure incision-free from the outside.
- Muscle Adjustment: The Müller’s muscle, which helps lift the eyelid, is carefully tightened to raise the eyelid margin.
- Symmetrical Results: This precise adjustment elevates the eyelid to match the other, creating a brighter, more open, and symmetrical appearance.
This minimally invasive approach is a testament to the advanced techniques used in modern oculoplastic surgery.
