Do your eyelids appear droopy or obstruct your vision? You might be suffering from ptosis, a condition that affects both the appearance and function of your upper eyelids. At BGN Eye Hospital in Korea, patients can receive safe, precise, and minimally invasive ptosis correction surgery performed by experienced ophthalmic plastic surgeons using cutting-edge technology.
Whether for medical or cosmetic reasons, BGN Eye Hospital offers customized ptosis correction procedures tailored to each individual’s needs—with special care for international patients.
What Is Ptosis?
Ptosis (blepharoptosis) is a condition where the upper eyelid droops over the eye, either partially or fully. This can result from:
- Congenital factors (present from birth)
- Aging and muscle weakening
- Neurological or muscular conditions
- Post-trauma or previous eye surgery
Ptosis can:
- Obstruct or narrow your field of vision
- Make you appear tired or asymmetrical
- Cause eye strain, headaches, and difficulty keeping the eyes open

- Ideal for moderate ptosis with good muscle function
- Minimal scarring, hidden in the eyelid crease
2. Frontalis Suspension (Sling Surgery)
- Connects the eyelid to the forehead (frontalis) muscle to assist lifting
- Recommended for patients with poor levator function
- Often used in congenital or severe cases
3. Conjoint Procedures
