Eye-shape Correction
What is ptosis eye-shape correction?
Ptosis makes the eyes look tired because the eyelid-elevating muscle is weak or its nerve is abnormal. The eyelid may not open fully, droop, or cover too much of the pupil. Correction exposes more of the pupil, making the eyes brighter and clearer.
Why eye-shape correction may be needed instead of double-eyelid surgery
Checking for ptosis before double-eyelid surgery is essential. Very mild ptosis may improve with a standard fold, but severe cases can loosen and make ptosis more obvious. Correction usually adjusts the levator or shortens Müller's muscle; severe cases may require the forehead muscle. It requires greater precision than double-eyelid surgery and should be performed by an experienced surgeon.

Patients who look tired at rest and use the forehead to open their eyes should be assessed. If severe congenital ptosis affects vision, early surgery is recommended. Mild or moderate cosmetic cases can generally be corrected after the main growth period.

Incisional / Partial-Incision Eye-Shape Correction
Bright, Beautiful, Larger-Looking Eyes
Incisional or partial-incision eye-shape correction resembles ptosis surgery, adjusting eyelid-lifting force so more of the iris is visible. Weak lifting muscles can create a tired look; adjusting levator shortening makes the eyes brighter. Because deep muscles must be adjusted, meticulous technique is essential.

#Bright and captivating eyes
Unlike conventional correction, this method does not cut the skin. Internal sutures secure the levator and Müller's muscle to strengthen elevation. It preserves tissue, leaves no visible scar, causes less swelling and bruising, and allows faster recovery. It can also brighten eyes that remain tired after double-eyelid surgery or when no double fold is desired.

Questions and answers
Q&A
What exactly is ptosis?
Ptosis occurs when the levator muscle that raises the eyelid is weak, preventing the eye from opening fully. The eyes look sleepy, and patients often use the forehead muscles to open them, creating forehead wrinkles. Because this can make the face look older, many choose eye-shape correction.
Can correction be performed if my existing double-eyelid fold is shallow?
Yes. Even with an existing fold, correction can strengthen eyelid elevation, define the line more clearly, and preserve a natural appearance.
How do I know whether I need only double-eyelid surgery or correction as well?
A specialist can determine the correct approach. If the eyes look tired or the forehead is used to open them, double-eyelid surgery alone may not be effective, so combined correction is often recommended. With ptosis, a fold alone may remain faint, sag with continued forehead use, or loosen. Follow the method recommended after consultation.
When can I return to daily activities?
Recovery differs by incision. Most patients resume daily life after one week; major swelling subsides by day 14, when makeup and contacts can usually resume. Mild swelling may take at least six months to settle. Anesthesia: light sleep sedation for 5–10 minutes while local anesthesia is administered. Surgery time: non-incisional 30–40 minutes, partial incision 1 hour, full incision 1–1.5 hours, depending on the eyes. Hospitalization: not required; discharge after 1–2 hours of recovery.
