Hello, this is DM Plastic Surgery😊

Even when you’ve clearly slept well and feel fine, if people around you keep asking, “Are you hurt today?” or “Did you not sleep well?” It can leave you feeling a little upset😔

If you unconsciously use your forehead muscles to open your eyes, or if your eyelids feel heavy and make your field of vision feel cramped, it may not simply be because you’re tired.

Our eyes are more honest than you might think, and even a slight lack of strength in the muscles that open the eyes can make the entire face look less lively.

Today, we’d like to talk about the culprit that kept making my impression look dark—ptosis—and about eye correction surgery that can address it😊

💡 Why do eyes feel heavy?

For people whose eye shape does not look clear, the reason can often be found in how much of the black pupil is covered rather than in the actual size of the eyes.

When the muscle that opens the eyes is weak, it cannot reveal the pupil fully and ends up covering the upper part. This is called ptosis.

With this structure, no matter how large you make the double eyelid line, instead of making the eyes look refreshed, it can end up looking like a sausage eye where only the line seems to float😥

💡 Have you ever experienced any of these?

◼️ You lift your eyebrows or forehead when opening your eyes ◼️ You already feel fine lines on your forehead becoming deeper ◼️ People around you often say, “You look tired,” or “Are you sleepy?” ◼️ Your eyes tire easily and your eyelids feel heavy

These signs may be your eyes telling you that they need help now👀

💡 Is eye correction surgery simply a procedure to make the eyes bigger?

Some people think of eye correction surgery as a way to “make the eyes bigger.” However, eye correction surgery is not about forcing the eyes to become larger; it is closer to a process of properly restoring the amount of pupil exposure that was hidden, so that the eye shape becomes proportioned in the way that best suits your face.

Like tightening a loose rubber band so it becomes firm, if the weakened muscle that opens the eyes is adjusted appropriately, the hidden pupil can be revealed clearly by about 80–90%.

So after surgery, even without forcing your eyes wide open, your impression can look clearer, and because you no longer need to use your forehead muscles, your expression can feel much more relaxed and softer😊

💡 A customized solution that fits me perfectly

: Incisional VS Non-incisional

At DM Plastic Surgery, we carefully analyze each person’s eyelid thickness, amount of fat, and degree of ptosis to recommend the most suitable method.

◼️ Clear and definite!, Incisional eye correction Recommended for those with thick skin, a lot of fat, or severe ptosis symptoms. It can effectively remove unnecessary fat or sagging skin, and is very suitable for those with severe ptosis or thick eyelids.

◼️ Natural and quick recovery!, Non-incisional eye correction The muscle is adjusted through tiny openings without making a skin incision. It is suitable when the eyelids are thin and the symptoms are not severe, and its advantages include fewer scars and less swelling, allowing a smoother return to daily life.

💡 A balanced design that does not disrupt facial harmony

If the same surgical method were applied to everyone, satisfying results could never be achieved. DM Plastic Surgery analyzes each person’s unique eye shape and skin characteristics, as well as the proportions relative to the overall image, to find a harmonious eye shape.

We carefully adjust even the 1 mm point that blends most harmoniously with your own facial features, while being cautious not to create an awkward look through overcorrection😊

With over 15 years of extensive clinical experience, Director Lee Joo-hong listens sincerely to what patients truly want and suggests the most suitable surgical direction, while doing his best to raise patient satisfaction.

Eye correction surgery is not a matter of whether incisional or non-incisional is better, but rather how suitable it is for my eyes. Therefore, a thorough consultation with a specialist before surgery is essential to accurately identify even functional issues with the eyes.

DM Plastic Surgery goes beyond simply creating a line, carefully considering even the movement of the muscles that open the eyes. Director Lee Joo-hong of DM Plastic Surgery listens deeply to each patient’s concerns one on one, with over 15 years of skilled know-how.

Worry alone will not change your impression, but a consultation with DM can be the beginning of change. We will welcome you with sincerity so that this can become your last eye surgery🌷
