Open Your Eyes, Restore Symmetry—Safely and Naturally

Ptosis correction (levator repair/advancement) treats a weak or elongated eyelid-lifting muscle so the upper lid opens properly, improving eye openness, symmetry, and visual comfort. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, a female board-certified facial surgeon calibrates lift and crease height for a refreshed, natural look—never over-pulled.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Heavy lids that cover the pupil or limit the visual field
• Asymmetric eye height or uneven creases
• Brow strain or head tilt to see better
• Congenital or acquired ptosis (aging, contacts, prior surgery)

How Ptosis Repair Works

• Levator advancement/resection: shortens and strengthens the lifting muscle
• Müller muscle–conjunctival approach (selected cases) for internal, subtle lift
• Crease design tailored to ethnicity and desired style (in-out, in, out)

Surgical Approach (Customized)

• MRD1 and levator function measurements, blink simulation, precise marking
• Microsurgical dissection to protect lash line and reduce swelling
• 仅当皮肤/脂肪确实过多时才进行调整（以避免凹陷）。
• Can combine with upper blepharoplasty or epicanthoplasty when indicated

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Time: ~60–120 minutes (uni/bilateral)
• Incision: hidden in the crease (or internal approach in select cases)
• Discharge: same day with lubrication and cold-compress plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruising: 3–10 days social downtime
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Early height asymmetry settles 2–6 weeks
• 最终褶皱调整：3-6个月

Results You Can Expect

• Brighter, more open eyes with reduced brow strain
• Improved symmetry and stable crease position
• Natural blink and ocular comfort preserved

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours; sleep elevated 1 week
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment to protect the ocular surface
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, contact lenses ~2 weeks
• Begin SPF 50+ and gentle scar care after suture removal (if advised)

Combination Plans

• Upper blepharoplasty for excess skin/fat shaping
• Brow-tail lift (thread/endoscopic) for lateral hooding
• Lower blepharoplasty or tear-trough polish for full periorbital harmony
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness/texture finesse

安全性和适用性

• Screening for dry eye, lagophthalmos risk, and corneal exposure
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar strategy to minimize PIH
• 由持有专业资格认证的面部外科医生进行手术，采用精细的止血和保守的张力控制。

常见问题解答

Is ptosis repair the same as double-eyelid surgery?
No—ptosis repair strengthens the lifting muscle; a crease can be created/refined at the same time if needed.

Will my eyes feel dry?
Temporary dryness can occur; we use lubrication protocols and conservative lift to protect comfort.
