Ptosis Correction

Overview

Ptosis correction strengthens or shortens the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid, so drooping lids open more fully. It is often done together with double eyelid surgery.

Methods & types

• Levator muscle adjustment (incisional)
• Non-incisional ptosis correction in select mild cases
• Combined with double eyelid design

Who it’s for

• Sleepy- or tired-looking eyes from a low lid margin
• Difficulty fully opening the eyes
• Asymmetric eye opening

Recovery

• Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
• Suture removal around 5–7 days
• Fine-tuning of symmetry judged over months

Approximate cost

USD 2,000–4,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Precise correction is technically demanding — surgeon experience matters
• Slight asymmetry may need minor revision
