Eye surgery
Ptosis correction surgery
Corrects a weak levator muscle that makes the eyes look sleepy and half-open, tightening the muscle so the eye opens wider while shaping a balanced double fold.
Who it suits
- Eyes that never open fully and look sleepy
- People who raise their brows to see
- Asymmetric eye opening
Technique highlights
- Muscle strength is adjusted case by case
- Can be combined with double-eyelid surgery
- Improves the visual field and reduces brow lifting
Surgical steps
- Levator function is measured
- Incision along the fold to access the muscle
- Muscle tension is adjusted and checked while the patient opens the eye
- Closure and balanced fold creation on both sides
Recovery & aftercare
- Suture removal on day 5-7
- Recommended stay in Korea about 7 days
- Cold compress for the first 48-72 hours
Risks & things to consider
- Final result is judged after swelling settles in 2-3 months
- Minor adjustment may be needed in some cases
Frequently asked questions
Will both eyes match?
The surgeon adjusts each side and checks during surgery, though the eyes may look temporarily uneven while swollen.
