Ptosis correction in Seoul, Korea
Ptosis correction in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: non-incisional and incisional eye-opening surgery for droopy, sleepy-looking eyes.
Typical ranges for ptosis correction; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is ptosis correction?
Ptosis correction is surgery that strengthens the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid so the eye opens more fully and looks brighter. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, board-certified plastic surgeons perform non-incisional and incisional ptosis correction, often together with double eyelid surgery.
When the levator muscle is weak, the lid covers part of the pupil, the eyes look sleepy and people compensate by raising their brows, which creates forehead lines. Correcting the muscle function addresses the cause rather than only adding a crease.
Who is ptosis correction for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Upper lids that cover part of the pupil
- Sleepy or tired-looking eyes
- Habitual brow lifting or forehead lines from straining to open the eyes
- Asymmetry in how wide each eye opens
How ptosis correction is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures how much each eyelid opens and the strength of the levator muscle, and decides whether a non-incisional or incisional correction is appropriate.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Adjusting the eye-opening muscle The levator or Müller muscle is shortened or advanced to a precise degree, checked for symmetry, and a crease is formed if planned.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling is most noticeable for one to two weeks. Mild difficulty closing the eyes fully and dryness can occur at first and normally improve as swelling settles.
- Swelling injection and regenerative LED laser in the first week
- Milia removal at checkups
- 1-year revision guarantee
- Unlimited surgeon-checked scar injections
- Recovery kit to take home

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have ptosis?
Signs include upper lids that cover part of the pupil, a sleepy look, uneven eye opening, or raising the eyebrows to see. A surgeon confirms it by measuring lid position and muscle function.
Is ptosis correction the same as double eyelid surgery?
No. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease; ptosis correction strengthens the muscle that opens the eye. They are frequently done together.
Can ptosis come back after surgery?
Under- or over-correction and recurrence are possible, which is why precise measurement and follow-up matter. Marble includes a 1-year revision guarantee in its eyelid aftercare program.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
