Incisional Method (Eye Correction)

JK SmartTouch Incisional Ptosis Correction is a procedure that corrects ptosis, in which weak eyelid-opening muscles cause the eyelids to cover a large portion of the pupils, through an incision or partial incision. Unnecessary fat is removed and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is adjusted to strengthen eyelid-opening power, creating larger, brighter-looking eyes.

Recommended for

· Those with excess, thick eyelid fat · Those with severe eyelid sagging · Those who appear very sleepy · Those with severely weak eyelid-opening strength or who use their Forehead excessively to open their eyes

What is Ptosis Correction?

Ptosis, commonly referred to as “sleepy eyes,” is a condition in which weak eyelid-opening muscles or abnormalities in the nerves leading to the muscles cause the eyes to open only partially or the eyelids to droop and cover a large portion of the pupils. With Ptosis Correction, sleepy-looking eyes can be opened more clearly, creating a more defined eye shape.

Why Ptosis Correction, rather than Double Eyelid Surgery, may be needed

Before Double Eyelid Surgery, it is important to determine through an examination whether ptosis is present. Very mild ptosis may improve with Double Eyelid Surgery alone, but when it is severe, the double eyelid crease may easily loosen and the ptosis may become more noticeable. Ptosis Correction requires more delicate and skilled techniques than simple Double Eyelid Surgery, so it is important to receive treatment from an experienced physician.

Features of JK Incisional / Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery Ptosis Correction

Point 1. Large, bright, beautiful eyes

This procedure works on a principle similar to ptosis surgery, adjusting eyelid-opening strength to reveal the pupils more fully and clearly.

Point 2. Levator palpebrae superioris shortening

When weak eyelid-opening muscles make you appear tired or sleepy, shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle alone can often create larger, brighter-looking eyes.

Point 3. Precise and delicate procedure

Because muscles deep within the eye area must be adjusted, a precise and delicate procedure is especially important.
