Ptosis Correction

From 3,950,000 KRW/ surgery

This procedure is designed to improve ptosis in individuals who appear sleepy due to weak eyelid-opening strength or who use their forehead muscles to open their eyes. After accurately assessing the condition of the individual’s eyelid-opening muscles, a double-eyelid crease is created by inducing natural adhesion, and the strength of the eyelid-opening muscles is adjusted to help achieve a clearer and more comfortable eye appearance. By considering iris exposure and left-right balance together, it can help reduce a heavy or tired-looking impression and achieve a more defined, natural-looking eye contour.

Eye+3It has already been 2 months since the surgery!!! I wonder why I worried so much and why I had not done it until then.. I regret it these days haha This Chuseok, my relatives all gave me endless compliments, saying it turned out really so well haha So I even told my relatives about the hospital haha Now that it has been 2 months, I do not even remember how I looked before the surgery anymore, and it feels like these are my original eyes!! I have fully adjusted lol And before and after the surgery, you consulted me so carefully, and whenever I went in for follow-up visits, the director would notice first the things I was curious about or wondered if I should ask, so I am amazed by the director’s sense every time lol Now it seems like most of the major swelling has gone down, and I think the minor swelling is still going down, but these days it feels different day by day lol It is fascinating.Eye+3I originally had inline double eyelids, but.. Because the skin on my eyelids was sagging and I also had a lot of fat, unless you looked closely, my eyes looked monolidded. Most of my friends said that was my charm, but well.. even when I wore eye makeup, my eyes swallowed it all up so you could not even tell whether I had makeup on or not- and in photos I looked like a Tibetan fox-.- Since I was always conscious of my eyes, I finally decided to get double eyelid surgery. I had ptosis correction + incision: in-line! As a result, I am satisfied! My eyes look bigger and my overall impression has become softer. You can tell just by looking at the photos, right? They did it with great care. They had me lie down and sit up repeatedly, and kept checking until the lines on both eyes matched, and they checked everything so meticulously that it took longer than the time they had mentioned. It would be a lie to say there was no swelling, but there is definitely less swelling. As you can see from the verification board posts, surprisingly, the swelling on the first day is not that severe. And if you consistently use ice packs + eat pumpkin porridge, the swelling does not get worse. However, for me the swelling came unevenly (only one eye bled), so now I am waiting for time to pass and for the swelling to go down! I am also very pleased that they provide scar laser treatment!Eye+2Wow, it has already been 2 weeks since the surgery!!! Today, I went to the hospital for scar laser treatment. Before that, whether I went for disinfection or to have my stitches removed, everyone was so kind, so I feel good every time I visit the hospital^^ First of all, I think the line came out really well, so it has become fun to look in the mirror each day as the swelling goes down! People around me also often say that I have a different image than before, and these days I feel happy every day! Doesn't it seem like the swelling has gone down a lot compared to the beginning?^^Eye+2Hello, it has now been one month since I had the incision double eyelid surgery and ptosis correction!! Now that a month has passed since the surgery, I hardly feel any tightness in my eyes, and there is no swelling either!! What is amazing is how satisfied I am.. People around me keep asking, and my eyes definitely look better, so I even dare to give consultations to my colleagues.... Above all, personally, perhaps because my uneven eyes and thick double eyelids are gone, I have gained a lot of confidence!!! haha These days, I am also losing a lot of weight hahaEye+2I received double eyelid incision surgery + eye shape correction procedure During the consultation, the atmosphere was kind and comfortable, so I was able to talk at ease while they took a lot of consideration for the eyes I wanted- Before the surgery began, as I was nervous, the director told me not to worry so I could feel reassured.. especially even putting sleep socks on me personally and telling me not to be nervous.... amazing ㅠㅠ Even as a man, I was touched by the director’s attentiveness and warmth. I think the surgery took about 40 minutes I had heard from my older sister and younger sibling that the anesthesia injection hurts a lot, so I was very worried, but perhaps because the anesthesia injection was given after sedation, I think I had the surgery without much pain throughout. However, near the end of the surgery, maybe the anesthesia wore off, and there was slight pain, but I really do not remember it as painful to the point that I wonder if I truly even had surgery haha After the surgery, they personally applied an ice compress and also gave me pumpkin juice, so maybe because of that, the swelling does not seem too severe~ According to my older sister and younger sibling, they said they were in pain even during surgery and swelled a lot afterward, so they seemed very surprised. After the surgery, I could immediately feel that my uneven eyes definitely seemed much bigger. I am so excited hehe~~!! Since I am a man, I was very embarrassed and worried that I would feel embarrassed when returning to work - but it is not very noticeable, so I am very satisfied. Hehehe@@@ It is currently day 3, and I am still doing cold compresses while waiting for the swelling to go down more quicklyEye+2I am usually very fearful, but during the surgery, music was played and I was spoken to from time to time, so I was able to undergo the procedure comfortably! Most of the major swelling went down in just one week, and after the stitches were removed, there was hardly any minor swelling left either!! Now that it has been one month, the minor swelling seems to be almost completely gone, the line is not very noticeable, and it looks very natural, so I am completely satisfied!! Thank you, Director!!Eye+2About 15 years ago, I had an incision double eyelid surgery + inner corner epicanthoplasty at an eye clinic, but because they were asymmetrical and the double eyelid on the left side was barely visible, I decided to have a revision surgery~ I had consultations at two places, and I decided to proceed at the first clinic I consulted, Afternoon Plastic Surgery Clinic~ The director explained everything kindly and in detail, which gave me confidence! He said he would correct the symmetry with an incision + ptosis correction, and that he would also address the fact that I usually open my eyes using my forehead muscles~ 1. Photos before surgery 2. Photos immediately after surgery 3. Photos 11 days after surgery. Now, once the remaining swelling goes down, I think it will look so pretty~ It is not excessive, and I think it was done naturally and well! I am very satisfied with the double eyelid revision surgery Thank you, doctor~Eye+2I usually had weak muscles for opening my eyes, so I tended to use my forehead muscles a lot to keep them open. They say everyone’s eyes are at least slightly asymmetrical, but mine were noticeably uneven lol lol lol After looking into several plastic surgery clinics, Director Kim Garam seemed to be the most skilled, and it also seemed like the postoperative care was really thorough, so I decided this should be the first place I consult and came in for a visit. During the consultation, I said I wanted ptosis correction, and since I naturally do not have double eyelids, I told him that having them would feel burdensome, so I asked for a very thin inner double eyelid line. The director explained this part in great detail, and the fact that he spent over 30 minutes talking through the things I was curious about and the surgical method felt so sincere and trustworthy that I scheduled the surgery date right away. They say the swelling goes down faster once the stitches are removed, but if it goes down any more, it feels like my eyes might sink in,, Anyway, I am truly grateful, Director, because the surgery seems to have gone very well!! They also said they would provide regular scar laser aftercare and monitor my progress for up to 6 months, so I am not worried anymore. From what I felt, Director Kim Garam seems to perform surgery in a way that creates a shape suited to your own face rather than something artificial just because it is plastic surgery, so the result looks as natural as possible without being obvious. If, like me, you prefer something natural rather than artificial, I think you will be very satisfied. Thank you, Director :)Eye+2It’s surprisingly only day 2 after surgery. I had ptosis correction and full-face Fat Grafting together, so please keep in mind that I have a bit more swelling than with eyelid surgery alone. I used to open my eyes with my Forehead, and my eyes are horizontally long, so I wanted to go from looking like -_- to •_•. The Suture method I had when I was younger had completely come undone, so I got ptosis correction with the Suture method again this time. But can you see??? I don’t have any bruising at all..;; Since I had Fat Grafting too, the swelling from my Forehead is coming down and making the Mongolian fold from the Epicanthoplasty stand out, so I’m not worried about that. I’m so impressed with the crease that I usually look in the mirror about 30 times a day, but lately it’s been 300 times. If anyone says they’re getting double eyelid surgery, I’ll recommend this place.. Thank you, doctor.. The staff were all so kind too, so I had surgery feeling really good.Eye+2As I entered my late 40s, my double eyelids started folding inward and my eyes began to droop, making me look older. A friend recommended Afternoon Plastic Surgery, so I went in for a consultation. Since it was my first surgery, I was worried my appearance might change too much or look obviously done. But the consultant and surgeon explained everything kindly, which gave me confidence, so I booked the surgery right away. They only scheduled my surgery and my niece’s on Saturday, so they didn’t rush through it. They carefully designed the line, and I even thought they were like a designer. The swelling and bruising were significant for the first week, but I recovered quickly after that. It’s been one month since my surgery. I’m very happy with how naturally it’s settling in. People around me say it turned out well and often ask which clinic I went to. Thank you~!

Why Afternoon Plastic Surgery specializes exclusively in eye surgery

At Afternoon Plastic Surgery, we believe the most important aspect of ideal eye surgery is design. Design is so important in eye surgery that we consider it to account for half of the procedure.

EYE SHAPE CASE: Ptosis/Eye Shape Correction Surgical Methods

The double-buried suture method creates three loops and secures the tarsal plate and levator palpebrae superioris muscle in two layers. It is less likely to loosen than conventional buried-suture techniques and creates a naturally appearing crease line, like a natural double eyelid, by tying knots in the levator muscle that opens and closes the eyes.

HOW TO PROCESS

Incisional Eye Shape Correction

image

STEP 01 Before Surgery

The condition of the eyes is assessed, and a personalized design is created.

image

STEP 02 Design, Incision, and Fat Removal

After making the incision, unnecessary tissue is removed.

image

STEP 03 Tension Adjustment

Muscle tension is adjusted.

image

STEP 04 After Surgery

A defined, clear eye shape is achieved.

Non-incisional Eye Shape Correction

image

STEP 01 Before Surgery

The condition of the eyes is assessed, and a personalized design is created.

image

STEP 02 Design and Micro-hole Creation

Small openings are made along the crease line.

image

STEP 03 Fixation

Through the small openings, the eye-opening muscle and tarsal plate are tied together to tighten the muscle.

image

STEP 04 After Surgery

A defined, clear eye shape is achieved.

Ptosis According to Medical Criteria

Ptosis refers to a condition in which the muscle that lifts the eyelid is weak, causing the eyes to appear partially open or sleepy. When trying to open the eyes widely, the forehead may be raised unintentionally. If the eye-opening muscle is determined to have some strength, eye shape correction surgery using the levator palpebrae superioris muscle may be performed to strengthen its function.

image

❶ Ptosis if 2 mm or more

When the point where the upper eyelid meets the eye covers 2 mm or more of the black pupil of the cornea

image

❷ Ptosis if 5 mm or less

When the distance between the point where the upper eyelid meets the eye and the corneal light reflex is 5 mm or less

image

True Ptosis VS Pseudo-ptosis

True ptosis: Ptosis in which the eyes appear sleepy due to a problem with the eye-opening muscle

Pseudo-ptosis: A case in which drooping eyelids due simply to excess skin appear to be ptosis

What Distinguishes Afternoon's Ptosis / Eye Shape Correction Surgery

❶ KEY POINT! - Bilateral symmetry: We believe that symmetry between the left and right eyes is the most important factor in ptosis / eye shape correction.

❷ Frequent checks: Because the eye shape differs when lying down and sitting up, the eye shape is checked repeatedly during surgery in both positions.

❸ Natural eye shape: Through this process, Afternoon Plastic Surgery creates defined, natural-looking eyes while achieving the greatest possible left-right symmetry.

Afternoon Plastic Surgery's Eye Surgery Process

STEP-1 Choose Your Desired Eye Shape

Through a direct consultation with the chief surgeon, an eye shape that suits you is selected and a corresponding surgical plan is established.

image

Innocent eyes: Natural, round eye shape with a pure and neat image

Chic eyes: Eye shape with slightly upturned outer corners for a more open appearance, creating a chic and sophisticated image

Cute eyes: Large, puppy-like eyes that create a cute yet attractive image

STEP-2 Eye Shape Design

Before surgery, a thorough consultation with a specialist in revision eye surgery is conducted to accurately analyze the cause of the initial surgery's failure. A personalized surgical method is then determined through detailed examination.

image

STEP-3 Customized Eye Surgery 01

In accordance with the new design, the existing crease line is refined and unnecessary scar tissue is removed. As needed, a personalized procedure—such as the natural adhesion method, buried-suture method, incisional method, or eye shape correction—is performed to create a new double-eyelid crease line.

image

STEP-4 Customized Eye Surgery 02

As needed, canthoplasty and aegyo-sal surgery are additionally performed in accordance with the new design.
