ETONNE CURATED EYE
Blepharoptosis Correction
Also called Ptosis Correction, Droopy Eyelid Surgery
Ptosis correction is a surgery that corrects blepharoptosis, a condition in which weak eye-opening strength causes the upper eyelid to cover the iris, so that the iris shows appropriately; a double eyelid line is created at the same time if needed. Depending on the skin thickness of the eyelid and the amount of fat, it is performed with a non-incisional or incisional method. At ETONNE in Gangnam, Seoul (Gangnam-daero, Nonhyeon Station), the surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Cho Jeongmok, Dr. Kim Harkyoung, Dr. Kim Jaegon, and Dr. Koo Heetae.
Bright, clear eyes — a small difference that makes a big change.
Your eyes shape the first impression you give. So that your first impression is beautiful,
ETONNE analyzes properly from the very start and cares for you with certainty.
Defined Eyes
By strengthening the eye-opening muscles themselves, we correct the ptosis that gives
a sleepy appearance, while appropriately revealing the iris. We diagnose the condition of the eyes comprehensively
and add delicate double eyelid lines tailored to each individual, drawing out a clear and confident
look.
Delicate surgery, healthy recovery.

POINT 1.
Detailed Diagnosis
Considering all the natural features of the face,
we must create eyes that harmonize best with one’s own face.
ETONNE doesn’t just focus on the eyes;
we consider what is necessary for the most beautiful eyes,
taking into account the patient's entire facial condition to make informed decisions.
1. Brow position and shape
2. Eye opening strength(blepharoptosis) and skin sagging(pseudoptosis)
3. Shape of the outer corner and horizontal length
4. Use of the eyebrows for eye opening (brow compensation)
5. Amount of redundant skin
6. Thickness of eyelid skin
7. Shape of the lower lid and beyond
CASE & SOLUTION
When brow to lid length is narrow
Brow position correction AND / OR Blepharoplasty
Puffy eyes
Brow position correction AND / OR Fat removal
When use of brow elevation during eye opening
Blepharoptosis correction AND / OR Blepharoplasty AND / OR Brow position correction
Eyes appear tired
Blepharoptosis correction
Corner of the eyes looks droopy
Lateral canthoplasty
Simple cosmetic issues without complicated problems
Blepharoplasty
Corner of the eyes look upslanted
1. Correction of inner corner or Brow position correction 2. Lateral canthoplasty and vertical lengthening 3. Combination of the above
Rather than just creating a line or enlarging the eyes,
the approach involves a comprehensive diagnosis considering various factors such as the distance between the outer corner of the eye and the orbital bone, eyebrow position, eyelid thickness, and the overall facial proportions for each case, and on that basis the surgical method is decided and the outcome designed.
By analyzing the area around each individual's eyes and proceeding only with the necessary procedures,
a natural eye shape is completed, without any exaggerated results.
POINT 2.
Tailored surgical planning
ETONNE considers the patient's needs, current condition, and even personal circumstances
to propose the surgical method that suits them best.
We pursue the patient's aesthetic preferences and objective beauty together.
POINT 3.
Custom Design with Detailed Adjustments
By accurately analyzing the patient's eye condition,
we design so that each person can find their own individuality.
We improve both the functional and the aesthetic aspects,
and taking into account each individual's desired direction of improvement
and current eye condition, we realize the ideal eye shape.
Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
Natural correction with almost no incision
Suitable for those with thin skin and little fat
Difficult to remove excess fat
Marks tend to be small
Relatively less swelling
Incisional Ptosis Correction
A surgery suitable for extensive adjustments in eyelid shape or extensive ptosis correction.
More suitable for those with thick skin or excessive fat.
Facilitates the removal of a significant amount of fat.
Scars may be visible.

Adding Detail to Naturalness
CURATED EYE SURGERY
Precautions
Swelling and bruising may occur after surgery, and how long they take to subside varies from person to person. Incisional ptosis correction leaves a scar at the incision site. Regardless of the method, in rare cases bleeding, infection, inflammation, or left–right asymmetry may occur, which may require additional treatment. Swelling and the course of recovery differ between the non-incisional and incisional methods, and in the early period after surgery the eyes may feel as though they do not close completely or may feel dry. The correction may settle more or less than expected, the non-incisional method may loosen over time, and if the two eyes settle at different opening heights, additional correction may be needed. Please tell us at your pre-surgery consultation about any medications you take, including blood thinners such as anticoagulants, as well as any medical conditions and whether you smoke. During recovery, please avoid alcohol and smoking and attend follow-up visits as scheduled. Please make your decision after you have been fully informed of the risks and of alternative options. Results and recovery vary from person to person.
Who It's For
When weak eye-opening strength makes your eyes look tired and sleepy
When the upper eyelid covers the iris and makes the eyes look small and heavy
When you use your forehead muscles to open your eyes
What is ptosis, and can droopy, sleepy-looking eyes be treated with ptosis correction?
Ptosis (blepharoptosis) is a condition in which weak eye-opening strength causes the upper eyelid to cover the iris, and it can be a cause of eyes that look tired and sleepy. At ETONNE, we examine whether you have true ptosis or pseudoptosis, whether you use your forehead muscles to open your eyes, your brow position, and other factors before deciding whether ptosis correction is needed.
How do non-incisional and incisional ptosis correction differ?
Non-incisional ptosis correction suits eyes with thin skin and little fat and tends to cause less swelling, but it is difficult to remove fat with this method. Incisional ptosis correction allows a wider range of correction and can remove a large amount of fat, so it suits eyes with thick skin and a lot of fat, and it tends to cause some swelling. At ETONNE, we choose the method after examining your skin thickness and the amount of fat.
How is ptosis correction different from double eyelid surgery?
The main purpose of double eyelid surgery is to create a double eyelid line, while ptosis correction adjusts the eye-opening muscle to correct how much of the iris shows. A double eyelid line can be created during ptosis correction, and if you use your forehead muscles to open your eyes, the two surgeries may be considered together.
Will there be scars?
Incisional ptosis correction leaves a scar at the incision site. Non-incisional ptosis correction involves almost no skin incision, so there are no stitches to remove, but small marks may remain. How the scar settles varies depending on the method and your skin condition.
What are the anesthesia, surgery time, and recovery schedule?
The surgery takes about 30–60 minutes under local anesthesia or sleep anesthesia, and you go home the same day without hospitalization. Stitches are removed after about 5 days with the incisional method and are not removed with the non-incisional method, contact lenses can be worn from the day after surgery, makeup is possible from about 3 days after surgery, and about one follow-up visit is needed after surgery. How long swelling and bruising take to subside varies from person to person.
