Ptosis Correction

✓ Surgery time: approximately 15 minutes to 1 hour

✓ Anesthesia: Sedation anesthesia (local anesthesia)

✓ Hospitalization: Not required

✓ Suture removal: 3–7 days later, if needed

✓ Follow-up visits: Approximately 1–2 visits

✓ Return to daily activities: After approximately 1–2 weeks

JT Ptosis Correction

Ptosis Correction is performed when the muscles that open the eyes are weakened congenitally or acquired later in life, making it difficult to open the eyes, and strengthens these muscles to help the eyes open more clearly.

If only a double eyelid is created without correcting ptosis, the double eyelid line may become thick and unnatural, or the eyes may appear smaller and sleepy, so an accurate diagnosis is necessary.

CASE 01 Ptosis

The eyelid significantly covers the pupil due to ptosis. Secondary issues such as forehead wrinkles and reduced vision may occur.

CASE 02 Double Eyelid Surgery Only

Ptosis symptoms are not corrected, and the double eyelid line may become too thick or asymmetric.

CASE 03 With Ptosis Correction

Adjusts the pupil exposure ratio using a method suitable for the individual's eyes, creating clearer and more vibrant-looking eyes.

Non-incisional method VS Incisional method

Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction

✓ Surgical method: Corrects the condition by adjusting the eye-opening muscles through small openings without a skin incision

✓ Scarring: Minimal to none

✓ Eyelid thickness: Eyes with thin skin and minimal fat and muscle

✓ Eye-opening strength: Cases with mild drooping

Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction

✓ Surgical method: Removes a certain amount of fat, muscle, and skin through an incision and strengthens the eye-opening muscles

✓ Scarring: A fine incision line may be visible initially but gradually fades

✓ Eyelid thickness: Eyes with thick skin and abundant fat

✓ Eye-opening strength: Cases with severe drooping

What is JT Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction?

JT Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction involves incising the eyelid skin and suturing the eye-opening muscle or aponeurosis to the tarsal plate to strengthen muscle function for clearer eye opening.

It can make sleepy-looking or small eyes appear larger and more open, while making the pupils appear larger and creating more defined-looking eyes.

For cases with abundant fat, severe skin laxity, and limited pupil exposure (Candidates for Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction)

Normal eyes

When Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction Is Needed

✓ Moderate to severe ptosis with significantly weakened eye-opening strength

✓ Thick skin with significant eyelid drooping

✓ Abundant eyelid fat and muscle tissue

✓ Frequent use of the forehead due to weak eye-opening strength

✓ When a distinct eye-shape change and definite correction effect are needed

JT Incisional Double Eyelid Revision Ptosis Correction Procedure

❶ Check the degree of eyelid drooping and measure the ideal eye height

❷ Incise the skin along the design line and remove unnecessary fat and tissue

❸ Correct by suturing the levator aponeurosis or Müller's muscle, which opens the eyes, to the tarsal plate

❹ Improve eye-opening strength for naturally clear and defined-looking eyes

What is JT Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction?

JT Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction uses sutures without a skin incision to adjust the strength of the eye-opening muscles.

It makes sleepy and constricted-looking eyes appear larger and more open, while naturally creating clear, defined-looking eyes with larger and more distinct pupils.

For cases with thin eyelid skin, minimal fat, and mild weakening of eye-opening strength (Candidates for Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction)

Normal eyes (sufficient pupil exposure)

When Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction Is Needed

✓ Mild ptosis with weak eye-opening strength

✓ Thin-skinned, sleepy-looking eyes

✓ Ptosis without severe eyelid drooping

✓ When eyelid fat removal is not needed

✓ When stronger fixation is needed during Non-incisional method Double Eyelid Surgery

JT Non-incisional method Ptosis Correction Procedure

❶ Evaluate eye-opening strength and precisely measure the ideal double eyelid crease height

❷ Design small openings along the desired double eyelid crease line

❸ Shorten the muscle through small openings of approximately 1–2 mm

❹ Improved eye-opening strength creates clear and natural-looking eyes

Features of JT Ptosis Correction

Special Points of JT Eye Surgery

Point ❶ JT's Ideal Crease Line

Rather than following trends, we create the most ideal crease line based on each individual's eye condition and preferences, including In-Line Crease, Semi-Out Line Crease, and In-Out Crease.

Point ❷ Customized Design Based on One-on-One Analysis

A board-certified plastic surgeon personally handles the entire process, from consultation to design, and plans proportions that suit each individual's facial contours.

Point ❸ Systematic and Safe Surgical Planning

Based on extensive surgical experience and expertise accumulated over many years, our medical team carefully analyzes the patient's condition, overall impression, proportions, and more to pursue satisfactory results through an appropriate design and surgical method.
