Lagophthalmos
Description
Lagophthalmos, also known as eyelid closure defect or incomplete eyelid closure, is a condition where one or both eyelids cannot fully shut, either while blinking or during sleep (often called nocturnal lagophthalmos). This leaves the surface of the eye exposed, leading to symptoms such as eye dryness, irritation, redness, excessive tearing, and sensitivity to light. Over time, lack of proper eyelid closure can cause more serious complications like corneal damage, blurred vision, or infections. Common causes of lagophthalmos include facial nerve paralysis (as seen with Bell's palsy or stroke), complications from prior eyelid surgeries such as blepharoplasty, trauma, thyroid eye disease (Graves' disease), or scarring. If untreated, lagophthalmos can threaten vision and overall eye health, but expert eyelid correction procedures performed by skilled oculoplastic surgeons in Korea can restore natural eye closure, protect your sight, and improve comfort and appearance.
Procedures that treat this ailment: Canthoplasty, Eyelid Fat Grafting, Eyelid Retraction Repair, and Laser Canthoplasty

Eye Procedures Epicanthoplasty Revision: This surgery corrects previously performed epicanthoplasty that may have left unwanted scars or unnatural appearances. It aims to restore a natural look by carefully repairing the inner corners of the eyes. Lateral Canthoplasty Revision: This procedure revises the outer corner of the eyes, which may have been overcorrected or left with unsatisfying results from prior surgery. The goal is to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing eye shape. Canthoplasty (Eye Angle Surgery): There are four main types of canthoplasty: inner, upper, outer, and lower.

Upper Blepharoplasty: This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, reducing droopiness and improving field of vision. It's often recommended for older patients.

It can also tighten the skin to address wrinkles. Male Eyelid Surgery: Tailored specifically for men, this procedure offers a more subtle approach to eyelid enhancements, ensuring a natural and masculine appearance. Body Contouring Liposuction and Fat Grafting: This category includes fat removal from various parts of the body and transferring it to areas where volume is desired, like the face or buttocks. Liposuction sculpts the body by removing fat deposits, while fat grafting uses the removed fat to enhance other areas. Each of these procedures is performed with the highest standards of safety and precision to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
