Ptosis Correction

Overview

Ptosis correction is usually planned differently from a procedure that simply creates a double-eyelid line, because it also evaluates functional factors such as whether the eyelid-opening strength is sufficient, how much the pupil is being covered, and how the two sides compare in symmetry. In Korean plastic surgery clinics, it is often considered when the eyes look sleepy, when the upper eyelid feels heavy or visually obstructive, or when a double-eyelid procedure alone may not create a clearly defined eye impression. Because functional issues can be involved, the focus is not only on making a prettier crease, but also on assessing eyelid movement and the overall eye-opening structure. The actual plan can vary depending on muscle function, skin condition, desired look, and recovery schedule.

Key benefits

• Can help create a more open and defined eye look by considering both function and eyelid design
• Often considered when the eyes appear sleepy, heavy, or less open than desired
• Allows treatment planning that includes both functional correction and aesthetic goals
• Can complement cases where a double-eyelid procedure alone may not be enough

Ideal for

• People who are often told their eyes look sleepy or heavy
• Those who feel their eye-opening strength is weak and want a more open look
• Anyone who feels a double-eyelid procedure alone may not fully address the concern
• People who want consultation that considers both function and aesthetics

Quick facts

Aftercare

• It is usually helpful to focus on cold compresses and swelling care in the early stage
• Following the advised schedule and aftercare instructions is important
• It is usually best to avoid sauna and alcohol for a certain period

Cautions

• Because this surgery involves functional evaluation, it is important to assess individual differences carefully
• Early symmetry or eye appearance can look different because of swelling
• The final plan is usually decided after consultation and functional assessment
