Clearer, More Vibrant Eye Shape Correction

Eye shape correction is a procedure to improve drooping of the upper eyelids and improve sleepy- or tired-looking eyes.

This condition occurs when the muscle that lifts the eyelid (levator palpebrae superioris) weakens and is also called ptosis (PTOSIS). It may make it difficult to open the eyes or obstruct the visual field. In severe cases, it can cause wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows, making correction necessary.

Eye shape correction is performed with consideration for not only cosmetic satisfaction but also functional aspects. It improves the strength of the muscles that lift the eyelids and minimizes discomfort to create a more defined and distinct eye shape.

The Ideal Line Customized for Your Eyes, Whatever Your Preferred Style

Less than 70% of the iris is visible

A condition in which weakened eyelid-lifting muscles (levator palpebrae superioris) prevent the eyes from opening normally, causing the eyelids to cover much of the iris

Isn’t double-eyelid surgery alone enough for ptosis?

Double-Eyelid Surgery

Eyes with an unnaturally thick and small-looking double-eyelid crease because the crease was created without correcting ptosis

Double-Eyelid Surgery + Eye Shape Correction

By improving ptosis, 80–90% of the iris is exposed, creating bright, clear, and well-defined eyes

Q&A 01

Q. Can drooping eyelids reduce vision?

A. As the eyelids droop and cover the iris, the visual field may be obstructed, which can reduce vision. In addition, as the eyes feel heavier and droop more, people may use their forehead muscles to open their eyes, which can deepen wrinkles and, in severe cases, cause headaches. Therefore, eye shape correction may also be necessary from a treatment perspective.
