Oculoplasty

What is oculoplasty?

Oculoplasty is an ophthalmic specialty built around
the function and anatomy of the eyelids and nearby structures.

Drooping eyelids and ptosis are more than a cosmetic change —
they can block vision, tire the eyes and overwork the forehead muscles.

Gwangju Shinsegae Eye Clinic tailors care to each patient's eyes,
weighing both their function and balance.

*Cases with functional impairment may be covered by health insurance

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

Recommended for

  • 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

We complete a clear line that suits your eyes
Double-eyelid surgery is not simply about creating a line —

Upper & lower eyelid

We improve age-related loss of eyelid elasticity, considering both impression and functional discomfort

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 soften a tired-looking
impression and restore a natural balance

Entropion & ectropion

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

Main symptoms

Entropion symptoms

  • Eyelashes pricking the eye

  • Stinging and foreign-body sensation

  • Watery eyes

  • Recurrent redness

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