What is Ptosis Correction?
Ptosis correction is a surgical procedure for patients whose eyelid-opening strength is weak,
preventing the pupil from being fully visible.
The surgery strengthens the relevant muscles to make the eyes appear larger and more defined.
Performed safely and precisely by a skilled plastic surgeon,
patients can return to daily activities immediately after suture removal.

Retmus Ptosis Correction Surgery Method
Retmus ptosis correction surgery minimizes scarring and provides natural results through precise design and a stable surgical process.
- 1.
- Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction
- Method 01
- Assessment of Ptosis Severity
Accurately evaluate the degree of eyelid drooping.
- Method 02
- Designing the Fold and Shape with Specialist Consultation
Consult with a specialist to design the most suitable eyelid fold and shape.
- Method 03
- Fixation of the Eye-Opening Muscle
Create a small opening along the designed line and secure the eye-opening muscle with sutures.
- Method 04
- Strengthening and Adjusting Muscle Length
Pull and tie the muscle to enhance eyelid-opening strength and adjust its length.
- Method 05
- Suturing the Fold Line
Suture continuously along the fold line to ensure stability.
- Method 06
- Natural and Defined Eyes
Achieve a natural, well-defined eye shape without visible scars.
- 2.
- Incisional Ptosis Correction
- Method 01
- Assessment of ptosis severity
Before surgery, the amount of skin to be excised and the degree of ptosis are evaluated.
- Method 02
- Design and line incision
The desired eyelid shape and the amount of skin to be removed are planned, and incision lines are marked.
- Method 03
- Fat removal and levator muscle strengthening
Unnecessary fat is removed, and the strength of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is enhanced.
- Method 04
- Suturing of tarsal plate, fat, and muscle
The tarsal plate, fat, and muscle are sutured sequentially with the skin to minimize scarring.
- Method 05
- Achieving clear and defined eyes
Correction is completed, resulting in sharp and well-defined eyelids.

Retmus Ptosis Correction Highlights
“Reveal your hidden charm with a brighter, more defined gaze—
this is the essence of Retmus ptosis correction.”
- Harmony Between Double Eyelids and Eye Shape Correction
- The depth and height of the double eyelid fold can vary depending on the degree of ptosis correction.
Therefore, achieving harmony between the ptosis correction and the double eyelid design is essential.
If the correction is too strong, the double eyelid line may appear lower than originally designed, or the eyelid crease may become overly deep, creating an unnatural appearance.
- Adjusting the Correction Location and Strength to Prevent Peaking
- Peaking refers to a phenomenon where the upper eyelid does not move smoothly when opening the eyes, causing a sharp crease or a pointed fold at a specific spot.
To prevent this, the surgeon must precisely analyze the individual’s eye anatomy and determine the optimal correction point and appropriate tension.
