Ptosis Correction Before and After Photos Korea

In ptosis the edge of the upper lid itself sits too low over the eye. With hooded eyelids the lid edge is in a normal position but extra skin or a low brow hangs over it. An examination tells the two apart, and some people have both.

The lid height is planned to suit your face and checked during surgery while you open your eyes, which is possible because the operation is done under local anesthesia, often with sedation. Early swelling makes the position hard to judge for the first few weeks.

Ptosis correction is often done through the same incision that forms the crease, and some patients also want the inner corner reshaped. Dr. Kim suggests a combination only when it suits the eye; many people need ptosis correction alone.
