About ptosis correction in Seoul

Ptosis correction repairs a drooping upper eyelid caused by a weak or stretched levator muscle. Beyond appearance, significant ptosis can obscure the upper field of vision, so the procedure can be functional as well as cosmetic. It is frequently combined with double-eyelid surgery in cosmetic practice, particularly in South Korea.

The operation tightens or reattaches the muscle that lifts the eyelid, and precise adjustment is critical — too little leaves residual droop, too much causes incomplete eye closure. Because the margin is small, the surgeon's experience with eyelid dynamics is the most important factor in a good result.
