Ptosis Correction ( Levator )
Ptosis Correction is usually told “sleepy eyes” because the eyelid covers black pupil more than standard. Ptosis makes to use eyebrow and forehead to open the eyes since the muscle opening the eyes is very weak. If you have ptosis, ptosis correction will be the solution. It creates large and distinctive eyes.
What is Ptosis Correction?
Ptosis is acquired or congenital, some people have naturally droopy eyelids and others have saggy eyelids by aging. When the pupils are covered, eyes can look tired and bleary. In JW Anesthetic Hospital, the tension of the muscles used to open the eyes is adjusted and strengthened, and the droopy eyelids are pulled up to complete clear eyes.

JW’s Ptosis Correction
1. Incision Ptosis Correction: revitalizing sleepy eyes to become vivid and refreshed eye shape.
Incision Ptosis Correction is applicable to:
- Those whose eyelids cover over one-third (1/3) of the pupil
- Those who hear often that you look sleepy
- Eyelids are sagging and have a large volume of eyelid fat
- Those whose eyes look overly sleepy
- Those whose eyes are severely asymmetric
Procedure of Incision Ptosis Correction
Incision Ptosis Correction can be enhanced by the reduction of upper eyelid muscle or surgery of Müller’s muscle depending on the level of blepharoptosis.
These surgeries are simple to operate and the method is determined by each patient’s eye-opening strength.
STEP 01: Diagnose current eye condition prior to surgery and design a customized ideal eye shape.
STEP 02: Remove unnecessary tissue after the incision.
STEP 03: Readjust the “levator muscles”.
STEP 04: Complete a vivid and bright eye shape.
2. Non-incision Ptosis Correction
JW’s non-incisional ptosis correction creates vivid and refreshed eye shapes without incisions
Non-incisional ptosis correction is operated simply by muscle readjustment through conjunctiva by flipping the eyelid. Without an incision that makes an artificial double eyelid line, a natural-looking eye shape can be built.
Through non-incision ptosis correction, the iris will appear vividly. Additionally, through the correction of eye muscle, patients would use less eyebrow and forehead muscles. In this way, wrinkles around the eyebrow and forehead would reduce.
Non-incision Ptosis Correction is recommended for:
You don’t have to worry about unwinding eyelids as we fix them tight through multiple points and knots to create defined eye lines. it’s recommended for mid-level ptosis and asymmetrical eyes.
- Those who have weak eye-opening muscles so the eyelids cover the iris
- Always-sleepy eyes
- The eyelids always cover the iris which gives the appearance of a tired look
- Those who need blepharoptosis correction with double eyelid line operation
- Those who have concerns about scarring after an operation
Procedure of Non-incision Ptosis Correction
STEP 01: Diagnose current eye condition prior to surgery
STEP 02: Design a customized ideal eye shape
STEP 03: Make a hole on the double eyelid line and pull eye-opening muscle and tarsal plate
STEP 04: Complete a vivid and refreshed eye shape
