What is Ptosis Correction?
Ptosis correction is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at lifting droopy eyelids to create a more alert and youthful appearance. At ThePLUS Plastic Surgery, we focus on transforming dull and hazy eyes into sharp and clear ones by meticulously adjusting the eyelid position. Our skilled surgeons consider the proportions of the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the sideline alignment with the pupil, to achieve a harmonious and natural look. By enhancing the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes, we help you achieve beautifully shaped eyes that exude confidence and vitality.

How is Ptosis Correction Done?
When the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelids are weak, it can cause the eyes to appear sleepy or small, leading individuals to compensate by raising their eyebrows, which may look unnatural. At ThePLUS, our expert team addresses these functional issues while also focusing on the aesthetic aspects, creating a balanced, natural, and comfortable appearance for your eyes. By harmonizing these elements, we help you achieve a revitalized and natural look.
Ptosis correction is not usually performed as a standalone surgery, and is mainly performed as a complementary procedure alongside double eyelid surgery or upper blepharoplasty.
Incisional Method
Corrects drooping eyelids by making an incision to tighten or shorten the muscles that lift the eyelid.
Non-Incisional Method
A less invasive method that tightens the muscles of the eyelid using sutures without making a full incision.
