Eyelid surgery
Transform sleepy-looking eyes into a sharp impression.
Eyelid correction is a surgical procedure that regulates the action of the levator muscle responsible for opening the eyes, helping to clearly improve the appearance of eyes that look sleepy or dull. The incisional or non-incisional method and the amount of levator muscle adjustment are tailored to the patient's eye shape and the condition of the muscle, and results may vary depending on the individual.
Before & After
-
Before
After
This is especially suitable for people like these.
- For those whose eyes look stuffy because the upper part of the pupil is covered when open
- For those who are concerned about always looking sleepy or tired
- People who frequently use their forehead muscles to open their eyes
- People whose eyes are different sizes
- People whose eyes look small even with double eyelids
- For those who want to restore a clear and refreshing eye look
This is how it progresses, and this is how it's different.
Enter Plastic Surgery focuses on designing natural results that suit patients through step-by-step precision and detail.

Point 01
1:1 Elevator Muscle Analysis
We analyze the eye shape, the condition of the elevator muscle, and the degree of muscle activity together to design an incision method and amount of elevator adjustment suitable for the patient.

Point 02
Precise muscle control
We pursue natural eye opening and distinct lines through precise adjustments that restore the balance of elevator muscle function, rather than simple excision.

Point 03
Custom selection of incisional or non-incisional methods
Depending on the patient's eye shape and the condition of the levator muscle, we apply either an incisional or non-incisional method, taking into account both scarring and recovery time.

Point 04
Binocular balance design
We carefully design the adjustment amount by examining the asymmetry and functional differences between the two eyes to ensure balance.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have compiled frequently asked questions about eyelid correction. Please feel free to ask any further questions during your consultation.
-
How long does the surgery take?
It takes approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. The time may vary depending on the range of motion of the elevation muscles and the patient's condition.
-
How is anesthesia administered?
The procedure is primarily performed under local anesthesia, with sedation used if necessary. During the surgery, you may be asked to open your eyes to verify the amount of elevation muscle adjustment.
-
What is the recovery period?
Bruising and swelling subside within 1-2 weeks, and it takes approximately 1-3 months for the natural contours to settle. Recovery patterns may vary by individual.
-
What is the difference between the incisional and non-incisional methods?
The incisional method involves making an incision along the double eyelid line to adjust the lifter muscle and simultaneously shape the crease. The non-incisional method uses a knotting technique with minimal incisions, allowing for relatively faster recovery; however, its applicability depends on the condition of the lifter muscle. We will guide you through the most suitable method via consultation.
-
What is the difference between eye shape correction and double eyelid surgery?
Eyelid correction focuses on creating a distinct eye shape by adjusting the action of the levator muscle, which opens the eyes, whereas double eyelid surgery is primarily aimed at forming a crease. The two procedures can be performed together, and we will advise you on the method best suited to your eye shape through a consultation.
-
Can uneven eyes be corrected as well?
We examine the difference in elevator muscle function between both eyes to design the adjustment amount for balance. Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed, and differences may remain depending on the individual's skeletal and muscular condition.
-
When do the results start to look natural?
As the swelling subsides, natural eye openings and lines gradually settle, and stabilization takes approximately 1 to 3 months. The time required for settling may vary from person to person.
