Ptosis Correction

“Which one looks like your eyes right now?”

• Less than 70% of the iris visible
• Iris covered by 3 to 4 mm
• Eyelid covers the eye down to the center of the pupil (mild)
• Eyebrows and forehead used to open the eyes (severe)
• 80 to 90% of the iris visible
• Iris slightly covered by 1 to 2 mm
• Eyebrows and forehead not used to open the eyes

It's not just about changing the look of your eyes

Less forehead strain

Better field of vision

Refined eye shape

Correcting uneven eyes

No more sleepy look

Ptosis correction strengthens your ability to open your eyes, so you use the eye-opening muscles instead of your forehead. Experience eyes that open easily, functional comfort, and a clear, defined look

Incisional ptosis correction

• Surgery that removes unnecessary fat, muscle, and skin, then shortens and secures the eye-opening muscle (levator muscle)

Surgery time

30 minutes to 1 hour

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia / IV sedation

Follow-up visits

2 to 3 visits

Recovery

1 to 2 weeks

Stitch removal

After 3 to 5 days

When incisional ptosis correction is needed

• Weak eye-opening muscles
• Eyes that look sleepy or heavy
• Sagging eyelid skin as well
• You want a definite improvement in your eye shape
• You open your eyes using your forehead (causing wrinkles)

How incisional ptosis correction is performed

01. Design

An ideal line designed to suit the balance of your face

02. Tissue refinement

Excess skin and thick fat that interfere with the line are removed

03. Muscle fixation

The eye-opening muscle is pulled taut to form a clear, well-defined adhesion

04. Fine suturing

Delicate finishing so that no scar is left behind

05. Result

Eyes that open easily, with a bright, defined look

Non-incisional ptosis correction

• Without cutting the skin, a suture is passed through tiny holes to tie and tighten the eye-opening muscles (Müller's muscle and the levator muscle)

Surgery time

30 to 40 minutes

Anesthesia

Local anesthesia

Follow-up visits

1 visit

Recovery

5 to 7 days

When non-incisional ptosis correction is needed

• Mild ptosis (drooping upper eyelids)
• You're hesitant about incisional surgery
• You want a quick return to daily life
• You want a natural-looking correction
• You open your eyes using your forehead (causing wrinkles)

How non-incisional ptosis correction is performed

01. Precise design

We design an exact line that takes the unique features of your eyes into account.

02. Tiny entry points

Tiny holes are made precisely at the designed points.

03. Natural adhesion fixation

The skin and muscle are tied together to form a firm adhesion that won't come undone.

04. Your new eye shape

The result is an ideal eye shape that is clear and well defined.

Key points of ptosis correction at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery

Preventing overcorrection

Fine adjustments accurate to within 1 mm prevent overcorrection and bring both sides into symmetry.

Preventing forehead wrinkles

Strengthening the eye-opening muscles breaks the habit of lifting your eyes with your forehead. This prevents forehead wrinkles and can even ease headaches.

Meticulous suturing

With careful incision and suturing, surgical marks are barely noticeable even when your eyes are closed.

Functional improvement

Improves your field of vision and helps prevent eyelashes poking the eye, frequent tearing, eye discharge, corneal damage, and more.

Our promise at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery: eyes you'll love to see in the mirror

At DOY JUN Plastic Surgery, we analyze your eyes and face from every angle to create the eyes that suit your face best

Inner and outer corners

We analyze eye shape, including eye size and upper-to-lower proportions.

Facial space and eye spacing

Skin and muscle

Analysis of skin elasticity, muscle, fat, and more
