Eye surgery

Ptosis correction

A weak levator muscle makes the eye look sleepy and forces the brow to compensate. Dream adjusts levator tension and forms the double-eyelid crease in the same operation.

Who it suits

  • Sleepy-looking eyes that need brow lifting to open
  • Unequal eye opening
  • Eyes still look dull after previous double-eyelid surgery

Technique highlights

  • MRD and levator strength measured before deciding the correction
  • Adjusted intra-operatively with the patient opening the eyes
  • Treats both function and appearance

Surgical steps

  • Levator function and lid-margin level assessed
  • Local anaesthesia so eye opening can be checked during surgery
  • Muscle adjusted, fold fixed and wound closed

Recovery & aftercare

  • No hospital stay; discharge on the same day
  • Suture removal and review at around day 5-7
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 5-7 days
  • Swelling settles noticeably within 2-3 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

Must it be done with double-eyelid surgery?

In most cases yes, because the muscle is reached through the same crease line.

Is revision ever needed?

A small share of patients need a level adjustment, usually assessed after swelling settles at about 3 months.
