Ptosis Correction
Bigger, more defined eyes through an accurate assessment,
Ptosis Correction Tailored to Your Eyes
Ptosis correction is not simply surgery to make your eyes bigger.
At Humanity, our ptosis correction
begins with a careful look at how much of your iris shows, your eyelid-opening strength, your eyelid structure, and whether ptosis is present, so that we can plan the amount of correction and the technique you need.
Why Choose Humanity for Ptosis Correction
Point 1
Custom Correction Based on Eyelid-Opening Strength and Iris Exposure
We take a comprehensive look at your eyelid-opening strength and the structures around the upper eyelid, including the skin, fat, and orbicularis muscle, to reduce how much the eyelid covers the iris. This addresses the structural causes of eyes that look heavy and tired.

Point 2
Technique Chosen Through a Detailed Assessment of Your Eye Condition
We plan the technique after closely assessing your eyelid thickness, sagging, amount of fat, eyelid-opening strength, and eyelid structure. Depending on your eyes, we choose either non-incisional or incisional ptosis correction.

Eyelid-Opening Strength

Eyelid Sagging and Thickness

Amount of Eyelid Fat

Eye Spacing and Length

Ptosis / Pupil Exposure

Muscles Around the Eyes
How Much of the Iris Should Show
for Eyes to Look Clear and Defined?
When your eyes are open and relaxed, the upper eyelid should not cover too much of the iris; letting the iris show naturally is key to a clear, defined look.

Too Little Iris Showing
Covered eyes that look heavy

Balanced Iris Exposure
Clear, well-balanced eyes
Could I Have Ptosis?
What Is Ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition in which the upper eyelid sits lower than normal and covers part of the iris. When the eyelid-opening function is not strong enough, you may look tired, and you may also strain your forehead or eyebrows to open your eyes.
Ptosis Checklist
🗸 My eyelids cover much of my iris
🗸 I strain my forehead or eyebrows to open my eyes
🗸 I often look sleepy or tired
🗸 My two eyelids sit at different heights
Which Ptosis Correction Is Right for Me?
Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction
Adjusts eyelid-opening strength without an incision
to create natural, defined eyes.

Considered when the skin is relatively thin
with little sagging or fat.
Incisional Ptosis Correction
Examines the eyelid structure through an incision
to create defined, stable results.

Considered when the skin is relatively thick
or there is excess fat or sagging.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
· People whose eyelids cover the iris and make them look sleepy
· People who strain their forehead or eyebrows to open their eyes
· People who want natural, clearly defined eyes
· People with thin skin and little sagging or fat
· People with thicker skin or some excess fat or sagging
Procedure Steps
Detailed Assessment of Eyelid-Opening Strength and Eye Structure
We plan the surgical approach after a comprehensive assessment of your eyelid-opening strength, how much of the iris shows, and the structures around the eye, including the skin, fat, and muscle of the eyelid.
Custom Design for Your Eye Structure
With the balance between your eyes and face in mind, we plan the technique that suits you, including the amount of correction and whether a non-incisional or incisional approach is used.
Precise Correction of the Tissue That Controls Eye Opening
Matched to your eye structure, we carefully adjust and secure only as much tissue as needed, reducing how much the upper eyelid covers the iris and creating clear, defined eyes.
Follow-Up and Recovery Care
After surgery, we closely check your eyelid movement, the change in your eye shape, and how you are healing, and tailor your recovery care to your progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I choose between non-incisional and incisional ptosis correction?
- We decide on the technique that suits you after checking your eyelid-opening strength, skin thickness, amount of fat, sagging, and eyelid structure.
Q. What happens if I have ptosis but only get double eyelid surgery?
- If you have ptosis, creating an eyelid crease alone may leave the cause of the eyelid covering the iris unaddressed. That is why it is important to check your eyelid-opening strength and whether ptosis is present before surgery.
Q. Can I get ptosis correction without double eyelid surgery?
- Yes. Depending on your eye condition, non-incisional ptosis correction without creating an eyelid crease is possible. However, whether the surgery is possible depends on your eyelid structure and the function of the eyelid-opening muscle.
From sleepy, heavy-looking eyes
to bigger, more defined eyes
What matters in ptosis correction is not simply making your eyes bigger, but finding exactly how much correction your eyes need.
