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.

Surgical Method

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.

1. Before Surgery
Eyes that appear sleepy due to weak eye-opening muscles
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.
4. After Surgery
The previously small and sleepy-looking eyes transform into large and defined eyes.
