Ptosis Correction

Ptosis Correction is a procedure that strengthens the muscles responsible for opening the eyes, improving drooping eyelids and increasing iris exposure. It may be considered for those who appear sleepy, open their eyes using Forehead muscles, or have symptoms of ptosis. The higher the desired double-eyelid line, the more often it is performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery.

Ptosis Correction is needed when the eyes appear sleepy or lack the strength to open properly. It corrects the eye muscles to increase iris exposure and create a more defined appearance. POP Plastic Surgery minimizes unnecessary tissue damage while achieving harmony between functional and aesthetic results.

Recommended for

· Those who appear sleepy due to ptosis · Those whose eye shape still appears indistinct after Double Eyelid Surgery · Those concerned about scarring and seeking a quick recovery · Those who use their Forehead excessively due to weak eye-opening strength · Those whose black iris is covered by more than half when the eyes are open

Why Ptosis Correction Is Needed

Ptosis Correction is not simply a procedure to create double eyelids; it strengthens the muscles that open the eyes to improve drooping eyelids.

Left: Sleepy-looking eyes before surgery · Right: More defined eyes after surgery When eye-opening strength is weak, the eyes may appear small and sleepy even with double eyelids. If more than half of the black iris is covered, Ptosis Correction can provide a clearer, more defined appearance.

Ptosis Correction Needed for Higher Crease Lines

As the crease line becomes higher, eye-opening strength must also be improved. If the eye-opening strength is weak relative to the crease line, the double-eyelid line may appear unnaturally thick.

· Point 1. Preventing Overcorrection through personalized correction · Point 2. Fast recovery without concerns about scarring · Point 3. Long-lasting results through secure fixation

By adjusting the drooping eyelid muscles to allow the eyes to open wider, this procedure can make the eyes appear clearer and larger even without double eyelids. The effect is enhanced when performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery. Ptosis Correction may be performed alone, but eligibility is limited; depending on the condition of the eyes, combining it with Double Eyelid Surgery is often more appropriate.

Please Note

Depending on the condition of the eyes, Ptosis Correction alone may not provide sufficient correction or may make it difficult to maintain the crease line. Surgical results vary by individual, and side effects such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur; therefore, thorough consultation is required.
