Eye Plastic Surgery

What is oculoplasty?

Oculoplasty is a specialized ophthalmic field that considers the functional
and anatomical characteristics of the eyelids and surrounding structures.
Drooping eyelids or ptosis are not merely a change in appearance —
they can cause obstructed vision, eye fatigue and increased forehead-muscle use in daily life.
Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Center provides care tailored to the eye condition of each patient,
considering both the function and balance of the eyes.

*Cases accompanied by functional impairment may qualify for health insurance coverage.

Eyelid correction & ptosis — recommended for you

We consider not only a clearer impression but the function of your eyes.
It is not simply reshaping the eyeline — it balances eye-opening strength and eyelid balance together.

  • Those whose eyebrows lift and forehead muscles engage when opening their eyes
  • Those often told they look sleepy
  • Those whose eyelids cover much of the iris, giving a heavy impression
  • Those concerned about uneven eyes from a left-right size difference
  • Those with eye fatigue or unexplained headaches
  • Those who find it hard to open their eyes wide or feel visual discomfort

Double-eyelid surgery at a glance

We complete a clear line that suits your eyes. Double-eyelid surgery is not simply about creating a line —
it weighs eyelid thickness, fat volume, skin sagging and eye-opening strength together to craft a natural eyeline.

tiny openings, without any incision
Those with thin eyelid skin
Those with little to no skin sagging
Those who want a natural double eyelid

Upper & lower eyelid characteristics

Age-related loss of eyelid elasticity — we consider not only an aged-looking impression but functional discomfort as well.

Upper eyelid correction

Upper eyelid (upper-lid correction)

Relieves obstructed vision and a heavy-eyed feeling caused by sagging skin.

Lower eyelid correction

Lower eyelid (under-eye correction)

Improves under-eye fat and sagging to brighten a tired-looking
impression while considering a natural balance

Entropion & ectropion symptoms at a glance

We prevent corneal damage and vision loss caused by abnormal eyelid position.
Conditions where the eyelid rolls inward (entropion) or turns outward (ectropion) cause corneal inflammation and reduced vision.

Entropion symptoms

  • Eyelashes pricking the eye

  • Stinging and foreign-body sensation

  • Watery eyes

  • Recurrent redness

Frequently asked questions

    You can go home the same day and resume light daily activities right away.

    However, swelling and recovery speed may vary by individual eye condition and surgical method.
