Eyelid Retraction Surgery
Does removing the ptosis correction threads resolve retraction?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is possible immediately after surgery, but after several months, it cannot be resolved by simple thread removal. It is a highly difficult technique requiring both levator recession and Müller's muscle separation.

Is early correction necessary?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt may be necessary. If the result is judged as overcorrection immediately after surgery, adjusting it quickly is beneficial for the outcome. The exact timing is determined through a 1:1 consultation.
