Ptosis correction

Trust ptosis correction to a skilled ophthalmologist

Eye surgery is as much about function as beauty.
Shinsegae's 30+ years of ophthalmology
deliver both aesthetics and function.

What is the buried-suture technique?

Strengthens the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid,
opening the eyes to look larger and more defined.
The no-incision buried-suture approach recovers fast,
with a natural look in just 2-3 days.

Brighter eyes
Refreshes sleepy, dull eyes.
Quick recovery
Return to daily life in 2-3 days after surgery.
Functional gain
Stronger eye-opening reduces fatigue.

Who ptosis correction is for

Sound familiar?
If any of these apply, ptosis correction can give you
a natural, brighter eyeline.

I'm often told my eyes look sleepy.

My small, dull eyes give an intense impression.

I have a folded eyelid that looks tired.

I'm told the whites under my pupils
make me look anxious.

My forehead wrinkles when I open my eyes.

My eye tails droop, making me look older.

How ptosis correction is performed

Here's how the procedure runs at Shinsegae Eye Center

STEP 1

Topical anesthesia

Anesthetic drops minimise discomfort during treatment.

STEP 2

Light local anesthesia

A very small dose of local anesthesia is applied to the eyelid.

You can have the procedure without worrying about pain.

STEP 3

Procedure (20-30 min)

The levator muscle is corrected via the no-incision buried-suture method.

Performed safely without incisions in 20-30 minutes total.

STEP 4

Recovery & finishing

You can head home after a brief recovery.

The natural eyeline settles within 2-3 days.
