Ptosis Correction in Gangnam Seoul, Korea
Ptosis correction (eye-opening correction) at Wooa Plastic Surgery & Dermatology strengthens or tightens the levator muscle that raises the upper eyelid. When this muscle is weak, the lids cover part of the iris, making the eyes look tired, sleepy or small. By adjusting how far the eyelid opens, ptosis correction makes the eyes look brighter and more alert, and it is often combined with double eyelid surgery.
What are the benefits of ptosis correction?
Brighter, more alert eyes: Reveals more of the iris for a wide-awake appearance.
Reduces forehead strain: Eliminates the habit of lifting the eyebrows to open the eyes.
Improves symmetry: Balances eyelids that open to different heights.
Can improve the visual field: Lifting a heavy lid may clear an obstructed upper field of vision.
Both mild and more significant ptosis can be treated; the technique (incisional or non-incisional) depends on the severity of muscle weakness.
Who are suitable ptosis correction candidates?
Good candidates typically:
- Have droopy or heavy upper eyelids that make the eyes look tired.
- Raise their eyebrows to open their eyes often causing forehead lines or fatigue.
- Are in good general health without active eye disease.
- Have realistic expectations about the degree of change.
What is special about ptosis correction at Wooa?
At Wooa Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, our surgeons measure eyelid position and levator muscle function precisely before surgery, so the correction is matched to each eye. This careful planning helps achieve natural, symmetrical eye opening.
