Ptosis Correction

Ptosis Correction: “ Strengthen the eye-opening muscles for sharper, more defined eyes. ”

What is Ptosis Correction?: When the eye-opening muscles are weak and cover a large portion of the iris, this condition is called ptosis. Ptosis Correction is a surgery that improves ptosis-related eyes — which look sleepy and heavy — making them appear larger and more defined.

*Results may vary depending on the patient's condition and surgical method.

Ptosis Correction is recommended for the following candidates.

✓Those whose eyes appear sleepy
✓Those whose upper iris is largely covered, making eyes appear smaller
✓Those who still feel heaviness when opening eyes even when lifting the forehead skin
✓Those who still feel heaviness when opening eyes even after forehead/brow lift surgery

Non-incisional Ptosis Correction

A surgery that strengthens the eye-opening muscles using sutures without any incision, improving eye-opening strength.

1. Before Surgery: Eyes without double eyelids that appear sleepy due to weak eye-opening muscles

2. Micro-openings / Müller's Muscle Strengthening: Following the design, 4–6 micro-openings are made and Müller's muscle is strengthened.

3. Knotting / Inducing Natural Adhesion: The tarsal plate height is adjusted to create knots, guiding the skin and muscle to naturally adhere to the tarsal plate.

4. After Surgery: The previously sleepy-looking eyes transform into bright, wide-open eyes.

Incisional Ptosis Correction

Incisional Ptosis Correction is required for cases needing precise correction or moderate-to-severe ptosis.

2. Customized Design / Incision: After designing according to the facial image, the incision is made.

3. Levator Muscle Strengthening / Double Eyelid Line Fixation: The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is strengthened, the double eyelid is fixed, and then sutured.
