Ptosis Correction in Seoul | Gangnam Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Ptosis Correction?

Ptosis correction, also known as droopy eyelid surgery, is a procedure that lifts the upper eyelid to restore a more open, youthful appearance and improve vision. It corrects weak levator muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid.

Common reasons for ptosis correction include:

• Congenital ptosis (present from birth)
• Age-related eyelid sagging
• Asymmetrical or droopy eyelids affecting vision
• Desire for a more alert, refreshed eye appearance

Dr. Kwon at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic specializes in precise ptosis correction to enhance both function and aesthetics while maintaining natural-looking results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ptosis Correction?

You may be a good candidate if:

• Your eyelids droop, making your eyes look tired or uneven
• You experience vision obstruction due to sagging eyelids
• You often raise your eyebrows to compensate for droopy lids
• You desire a brighter, more open eye appearance
• A consultation with Dr. Kwon will determine the best approach based on your eyelid condition and facial harmony.

Ptosis Correction Procedure

Ptosis correction is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 1–2 hours.

Types of Ptosis Correction:

• Levator Muscle Tightening: Strengthens and adjusts the muscle for better eyelid elevation.
• Frontalis Sling Surgery: Used for severe ptosis, linking the eyelid to forehead muscles.
• Müller’s Muscle Resection: A minimally invasive method for mild cases.
• Non-incisional Ptosis Correction: Suitable for minor drooping with less downtime.



Key Steps of the Procedure:

• Precise incision along the eyelid crease (for incisional methods)
• Adjustment or tightening of the levator muscle
• Fine suturing to achieve a symmetrical, natural lift
• Careful alignment with existing eyelid structure

Dr. Kwon customizes each procedure to ensure natural eyelid movement and minimal scarring.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Swelling and mild bruising for 5–7 days
• Stitches are removed after about a week
• Most patients return to daily activities in 7–10 days
• Avoid heavy eye makeup and rubbing the eyes for 2 weeks
• Full results settle within 1–3 months

Regular follow-ups at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic ensure smooth healing and long-lasting results.
