The Key to Beautiful Eyes

The key to beautiful eyes lies in the proportion between the height of the double eyelid and the size of the iris that suits the face.
Proper eyelid correction strengthens the eye-opening muscles and increases iris exposure, completing a beautiful eye shape.

  • The Key to Beautiful Eyes

    This surgery creates a double eyelid line by inducing adhesion between the skin's surface and the tarsal plate (or septum).

  • The Key to Beautiful Eyes

    It strengthens the eye-opening muscles by adjusting them to enhance the force of eye opening.

Most Ptosis correction surgeries are accompanied by double eyelid surgery.

The Relationship Between Ptosis Correction and Ptosis

Ptosis refers to a condition where weakened eye-opening muscles cause drooping eyelids to cover the iris, making the eyes appear tired.
Regardless of whether ptosis is present, eyelid correction combined with double eyelid surgery greatly contributes to creating beautiful eyes.

+ However, Caution is Needed with Ptoisis correction

Ptosis Correction requires careful adjustment of the correction intensity and the height of the double eyelid line, depending on the individual's condition. It is especially important to choose an experienced surgeon with the necessary expertise, as reckless eyelid correction can cause problems.

Cases Where Ptosis Correction Inappropriate

    • Severe protruding eyes
    • Multiple previous eye surgeries
    • If tissue is insufficient, excessive correction could result in difficulty closing the eyes.
    • Middle-aged women (40s–50s)
    • Close proximity of eyes and eyebrows
    • If the eyelids are drooping, excessive correction may lead to a harsher appearance.
    • Eyelid correction may make the distance between the eyes and eyebrows even closer, creating a cramped or tense appearance.

Non incisional Ptosis Correction

This procedure improves the eye shape by adjusting the tension of the eye-opening muscles through small groove without cutting the skin. When combined with double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty, it can create sharper, more defined eyes.

1. Long-Lasting Results Without Worry

When ptosis correction strengthens the eye-opening muscles, the eyelid skin securely folds at the fixed point of the double eyelid line, making the results long-lasting. Even with non-incisional Ptosis Correction, the chances of the line loosening are low.

Incisional Ptosis Correction

Surgery that strengthens the muscles around the eyes by minimizing skin tissue incision, removing unnecessary fat and skin, and correcting the eyelid platform and surrounding muscles.
Combined with double eyelid surgery, it creates a more natural and glamorous eye contour.

After Surgery

1. We recommend incision only to those who truly need it.

Excessive treatment and surgery can lead to patient dissatisfaction and side effects. Incisional double eyelid surgery is performed when it is deemed appropriate, considering the patient's condition, tissue status, and desired design.

  • Before and After

    Cases If the eyelids are thick or have a large amount of tissue, there is a high risk of double eyelid loosening.

  • Before and After

    Cases where severe, congenital ptosis requires firm eye correction

2. A natural eye appearance without overcorrection.

By precisely examining the individual's eye condition, we remove the appropriate amount of muscle and fat with minimal incision, ensuring a natural eye appearance even immediately after surgery.

  • Personalized eye surgery
  • Natural eye appearance
  • Minimally Side effect surgery
  • Minimal sensation of foreign body even when eyes closed

AB’s Key feature

Eye Ptosis Correction, the reason for being AB

1. Establishing a surgical plan to minimize tissue damage

- Removal of only excessively developed tissue
- A.B. Incisional double eyelid surgery with minimal tissue damage to reduce scarring
- Minimal tissue damage allows for swift recovery

  • beforeAfter
    A situation requiring incisional double eyelid surgery due to excessive tissue volume and presence of ptosis
  • beforeAfter
    • A natural and beautiful eye contour without swelling even by the 7th day, with minimized tissue damage.
    • By removing only excessively developed tissue, rapid recovery by the 7th day with minimal bruising, scarring, or virtually none.

2. Ptosis Correction for Those Who Desire a Dramatic and High Eyelid Line

- The higher the double eyelid line, the more important it is to improve the eye-opening strength.
- If the eye-opening muscles are not strengthened in proportion to the height of the eyelid line, the skin will not lift properly with the muscles, leading to a "sausage eye" appearance.

3. Adjustment of eye contour correction position considering each individual's eye shape

- Correction between the inner boundary of the upper eyelid crease and the pupil, and between the outer boundary and the pupil.
- Correction may vary depending on the shape of the eye.
- Be careful of overcorrection when correcting the outside of a black pupils.

  • Before and After

    Fix different A and B points depending on individual eye shape

  • Before and After

4. Improvement of false and true ptosis through eye correction

- Regardless of whether you have pseudoptosis or true ptosis, eye correction with an appropriate correction intensity is necessary to improve eye shape.
- Ptosis is performed only when necessary after careful analysis of the ptosis condition from various angles.

  • Before and After

    Black pupils hidden by droopy eyelids

  • Before and After

    Improving the amount of black pupils exposure to harmonize with the individual's face

5. The intensity of eye correction adjustment varies from person to person.

- After precisely analyzing the eyelid shape and line, the degree of eye correction is optimally adjusted
- Careful attention from the surgeon is required to avoid overcorrection.
- Since double eyelid depth and height may vary depending on the intensity of eye correction, delicate surgery is required.
