FAQ

Common questions, answered clearly.

Will I look surprised or scared after surgery?
This is a sign of over-correction. Experienced Korean specialists aim for "Comfortable Alertness," covering about 1-2mm of the pupil, to avoid the startled look.
Can I do Ptosis Correction without Double Eyelids?
Yes, it is possible to tighten the muscle without creating a visible crease (monolid correction), though most patients prefer a thin inner fold to hide the incision.
Is this surgery covered by insurance?
In Korea, severe ptosis affecting vision is considered medical. However, for international patients, it is typically categorized under medical tourism (cosmetic/functional combination).
Does it hurt?
The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. You will sleep through the injection but may be woken up briefly to open your eyes for the surgeon to check symmetry. It is not painful.
