Ptosis Correction in Seoul

What Is Ptosis Correction?

Ptosis occurs when the levator muscle—the muscle that lifts the eyelid—is weak or stretched. This causes the eyelid to sit too low, making the eyes look:

  • Tired or sleepy
  • Smaller than desired
  • Asymmetrical
  • Heavy or droopy

Ptosis correction tightens or reinforces the lifting muscle to create a more open and refreshed appearance.

What Ptosis Correction Can Improve

  Patients typically seek this procedure to:

  • Lift droopy or low-positioned eyelids
  • Improve eye opening without looking unnatural
  • Fix uneven eyelid height
  • Correct tired or hooded eyes
  • Enhance the visibility of the upper eyelid crease
  • Restore natural eye symmetry

  This procedure enhances both appearance and function.

Types of Ptosis Correction Techniques in Seoul

1. Levator Muscle Tightening

Shortens and strengthens the levator muscle to raise the eyelid and improve eyelid strength.

2. Müller Muscle Adjustment

A subtle internal approach for mild ptosis, providing a gentle lift.

3. Frontalis Suspension (Advanced Cases)

Uses the forehead muscle to assist lifting when levator strength is extremely weak.

4. Combined Ptosis + Double Eyelid Surgery

Creates a defined crease while lifting the eyelid for a brighter, more balanced look.
