Eye surgery

Ptosis correction

Ptosis correction tightens the link between the levator muscle and the tarsal plate so a sleepy eye opens wider and sharper. It takes 30–40 minutes, stitches come out in 5–7 days and make-up is possible after 5–7 days.

Who it suits

Sleepy eyes, incomplete opening, brow-lifting habit
Still sleepy after a previous ptosis correction
Want sharper eyes without an over-corrected look

Technique highlights

Non-incision and incision options depending on the lid
Symmetry and over-correction are checked throughout surgery
Fixation strength tuned to avoid a startled, over-opened look

Surgical steps

Measure levator strength and symmetry of both eyes
Design together with the crease for a harmonious result
Fix the levator to the tarsus at the calculated point
Check eye opening during surgery and adjust until symmetric

Risks & things to consider

Results depend on each person's anatomy and after-care.
Every operation carries risks and possible complications; consult a board-certified plastic surgeon first.
Surgery time and recovery figures come from Private's official pages and may change after assessment.

Frequently asked questions

I'm afraid of an over-corrected look — is that a risk?

It is a delicate operation in which symmetry and over-correction must be checked constantly. The degree depends on how firmly the levator is fixed to the tarsal plate: tighter means a bigger eye, but over-correction is never desirable.

I had ptosis correction and still look sleepy — can it be fixed?

Yes. The principle is to move the levator's attachment closer to the lash line so the same effort opens the eye more sharply; the surgeon assesses the remaining muscle power before planning.
