Ptosis correction — eye-opening strength and pupil exposure design

Ptosis Correction

Not the line, but the eye-opening strength

It is not just a matter of the double-eyelid line.
Eye-opening strength and pupil exposure must be seen together for distinct eyes.

YOUR CONCERN

If you want to open your eyes clearly but keep looking sleepy

  • My eye-opening strength is weak, so I look sleepy
  • I always look half-closed
  • Even with a double eyelid, my eyes aren't distinct
  • To open my eyes wide, I strain my forehead
Concern about sleepy, heavy-looking eyes

LINE vs EYE-OPENING

Is it a line issue, or an eye-opening strength issue?

Line issue

A double-eyelid line issue only

Eye-opening strength is sufficient, but the line is shallow or loosened so the eyes don't look distinct. Improved by line design.

Eye-opening issue

An eye-opening strength issue

The levator (upper eyelid levator muscle) is weak, so the pupil isn't sufficiently revealed. The line alone has limits.

Combined issue

Line + eye-opening combined

When both the line and eye-opening strength are lacking. Both elements must be designed together to look natural and distinct.

DIAGNOSIS

We diagnose which type your eyes are first

Even the same “heavy-looking eyes” have different causes. We analyze eye-opening strength, line condition, degree of pupil exposure, and forehead compensation together to distinguish a line issue, an eye-opening issue, and a combined issue.

DESIGN PRINCIPLE

Precisely adjusting eye-opening strength for clarity

We precisely adjust the strength of the levator (upper eyelid levator muscle) to naturally improve pupil exposure. Rather than forcing the eyes wide, we design clarity that suits your eyes.

NB METHOD

Features of ptosis correction

Levator strengthening

We strengthen the weakened levator (upper eyelid levator muscle) to improve eye-opening strength. Precise adjustment matches left-right symmetry.

Done together with double eyelid

Doing ptosis correction and double eyelid together can create more natural and distinct eyes.

Natural eyes

We design a natural eye size and proportion so they don't look overly wide-open.

Asymmetry correction possible

Asymmetric ptosis with only one eye drooping can also be corrected. We precisely analyze both sides to create a balanced result.

SURGEON-LED CONSULTATION

The doctor analyzes your eyes directly

We look at eye-opening strength, the double-eyelid line, pupil exposure, and left-right symmetry together to distinguish whether it is a line issue or an eye-opening issue and design accordingly. The same doctor is in charge from consultation through surgery.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q. Do ptosis correction and double eyelid have to be done together?

They don't necessarily have to be done together, but doing them together can give a more natural result. In consultation we first distinguish whether it is a line issue or an eye-opening issue.

Q. What if my eyes open too wide after surgery?

We precisely adjust the appropriate correction amount during surgery. We design a natural eye proportion to prevent overcorrection.

Q. Is asymmetry correction also possible?

Yes. We individually analyze the levator condition on each side and perform a balanced correction.

Q. After ptosis correction, do the eyes close well?

After a normal surgery, the eyes close well. There may be temporary discomfort right after surgery, but it improves with recovery.
