Ptosis Correction Surgery in Seoul, Korea | Natural Eye Opening at 1mm Plastic Surgery

Ptosis correction surgery in Seoul, Korea is a specialized eye procedure designed to treat drooping upper eyelids caused by weakened eyelid muscles. This condition—medically known as blepharoptosis—can make the eyes look tired, asymmetrical, or smaller and may even interfere with vision.

At 1mm Plastic Surgery, ptosis correction is performed with a precision-focused approach, restoring natural eye opening while maintaining balanced, soft facial expressions.

What Is Ptosis (Blepharoptosis)?

Ptosis occurs when the muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid (levator muscle) is weak or stretched. Common signs include:

  • Drooping upper eyelids
  • Uneven eye opening
  • Tired or sleepy-looking eyes
  • Forehead tension from overusing brow muscles
  • Reduced upper visual field (in severe cases)

Ptosis can be congenital, age-related, or develop after eye surgery or long-term contact lens use.

Who Needs Ptosis Correction Surgery?

Ptosis correction may be recommended if you:

  • Feel your eyes look sleepy or heavy
  • Notice asymmetry between your eyes
  • Raise your eyebrows to open your eyes
  • Experience eye fatigue or narrowed vision
  • Want natural eye enlargement without exaggerated creases

A detailed eye-opening measurement is essential to confirm true ptosis versus skin laxity.

Functional + Aesthetic Precision

At 1mm Plastic Surgery, ptosis correction focuses on both function and appearance:

  • Precise adjustment of eyelid-opening height

Surgical Methods for Ptosis Correction

Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction

Suitable for:

  • Mild ptosis
  • Thin eyelids
  • Good muscle strength

Recommended for:

  • Moderate to severe ptosis
  • Thick eyelids or excess fat
  • Revision cases or aging-related ptosis

Benefits

  • Precise muscle tightening
  • Stable, long-lasting results

Ptosis Correction + Double Eyelid Surgery

In many cases, ptosis correction is performed together with double eyelid surgery to:

  • Improve eye opening
  • Create a stable, natural eyelid crease
  • Prevent recurrence of drooping
  • Achieve symmetrical, refreshed eyes

The crease height is carefully adjusted to avoid an overly high or artificial look.

Recovery & Healing Timeline

  • Days 1–3: Swelling and mild discomfort
