Ptosis Correction

This procedure corrects ptosis, in which the eyelid covers the pupil due to weakened eyelid-opening muscles (levator palpebrae superioris and Müller’s muscle). The muscles are tightened or adjusted to improve eyelid-opening strength, and in most cases, it is performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery to address both functional improvement and eye-shape design.

By identifying the various causes affecting the eyes, we create a clear, personalized eye shape.

What Is Ptosis Correction?

Ptosis Correction is a procedure that strengthens eyelid-opening power by cutting or tightening the muscles involved in opening the eyes (Müller’s muscle and the levator palpebrae superioris) when their function has weakened and the eye shape appears droopy.

Wonderful Ptosis Correction POINTS

Point 1. Precise Eye Condition Assessment

Before surgery → 1 month after surgery We precisely assess the condition of the eyes to identify the starting point of eyelid-opening strength, creating a clear eye shape based on the ideal proportion between double eyelid height and pupil exposure. Ideal pupil exposure is approximately 80–90%.

Point 2. Personalized 1:1 Double Eyelid Line

Along with resolving the functional concern of ptosis, we create a personalized 1:1 double eyelid line. Ptosis is a condition in which weakened eyelid-opening muscles cause the drooping eyelid to cover the pupil; therefore, most Ptosis Correction procedures are performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery.

After Surgery

· Most major swelling subsides within 1 week, but residual swelling may last 1–3 months or longer. The final shape develops after 3–6 months. · Apply light cold compresses for 15 minutes at a time for 1 week after surgery, but avoid doing so while sleeping. · Do not rub your eyes or squeeze them shut tightly, and do not forcibly remove scabs. Sutures are usually removed on day 7. · Face washing and light makeup are allowed from the day after suture removal. Heavy eye makeup and contact lenses are permitted after 3 weeks. · Avoid jjimjilbangs, saunas, and swimming for 1 month.
