Can I have double eyelid surgery only?
Is ptosis correction necessary?
Double eyelid surgery does more than create a crease; it improves iris exposure for a larger and more defined eye appearance. In ptosis cases, double eyelid surgery alone may lead to a loose crease or a tired-looking appearance if ptosis is not corrected.

Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I undergo ptosis correction after double eyelid surgery?
If eyelid-opening function remains insufficient after double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction can be performed without altering the existing double eyelid crease, helping to create a more defined eye appearance.
Q. Can ptosis correction be performed on only one eye?
Yes, ptosis correction can be performed on just one eye. However, if the other eye is not corrected, asymmetry may develop over time. For this reason, ptosis correction on both eyes is often recommended to help achieve better balance and symmetry.
Q. How do I know if I need ptosis correction?
The amount of iris exposure can provide an indication. In general, visible iris exposure of up to approximately 80% is considered within the normal range. When iris exposure is reduced below this level, the eyes may appear tired or sleepy, and ptosis correction may be considered. A more accurate assessment can be made through a thorough consultation with a surgeon.
