Ptosis Surgery

Ptosis Surgery:
Different from
Double Eyelid Surgery

Many people mistake ptosis correction (sleepy eyelid surgery) for double eyelid surgery, but they serve different purposes. Ptosis surgery lifts weak eyelids by strengthening the muscles, improving eye opening and pupil exposure for a brighter, more awake look. In contrast, double eyelid surgery creates a crease for aesthetic enhancement without affecting eyelid function. Knowing the difference helps you choose the best eyelid surgery for your needs.

    Ptosis Surgery:
    Correcting Sleepy,
    Droopy Eyelids

    • · Ptosis refers to a sleepy appearance caused by upper eyelid drooping that partially covers the pupil.
    • · Double Eyelid Surgery forms a crease but does not increase pupil exposure (red arrow).
    • · Ptosis Surgery lifts weak eyelid muscles, making the eyes look bigger and more alert.
    • · Severe droopy eyelids often require ptosis correction, as double eyelid surgery alone may not be enough.

    Procedure

    We use the levator muscle advancement technique,
    a worldwide gold standard in aesthetic eyelid surgery for improving eye-opening function.
