Eye
Goodbye sleepy eyes! Get clear, sharp eyes!
What is eye correction?
Surgery for brighter, more defined, and energetic eyes
At DU Plastic Surgery, eye correction surgery adjusts the strength and function of the eyelid muscles to improve eyes that appear droopy, tired, or heavy. Younger patients often seek a clearer, more refined crease, while older patients aim to correct ptosis and restore both aesthetic balance and vision.
This is a fully customized procedure that considers both function and beauty,delivering natural, satisfying, and long-lasting results.
With precise diagnosis and delicate fine-tuning techniques, scarring is minimized and recovery is accelerated.

What's special about Du's eye correction
Specialty
- 01
- Double fixation for a more solid and natural look
DU uses a double fixation method to prevent postoperative loosening. It simultaneously stabilizes the eye muscles and skin, maintaining a natural, clear look for a long time.
Specialty
- 02
- Solving functional problems simultaneously
Drooping eyelids, causing a sleepy appearance, or ptosis, which obstructs vision, can cause functional discomfort. DU eye surgery improves the strength of the eyelid muscles, securing vision and reducing eye fatigue. It also reduces the use of forehead muscles.
Specialty
- 03
- Customized design based on precision diagnosis
We analyze eye size, muscle strength, distance from the eyebrows, and double eyelid shape from various angles to design an optimal eye shape for each individual. Our medical team's anatomical analysis and design sensibility combine to create a more refined result.
Specialty
- 04
- Natural even with eyes closed
Burial and incision techniques
It uses a micro-adhesion fixation technique that leaves no traces, so it does not look lifted or artificial when the eyes are closed, and both the burial and incision methods are performed precisely without the burden of scars.
Specialty
- 05
- Complete your eyes with clear and cool looks
By strengthening the eyelids, the exposure ratio of the pupils is ideally adjusted, creating a cool, clear look. It also improves dull, small-looking eyes, giving them a more defined and three-dimensional look.
Specialty
- 06
- Systematic aftercare program
We carefully monitor post-operative recovery rate, scar condition, and tissue response, and support safe and predictable recovery through a dedicated management system.
Non-incision double eyelid surgery vs. incision double eyelid surgery
|
Non-incision double eyelid surgery |
VS |
Incisional double eyelid surgery |
| 12 fixations without incision and 6 adhesion points are created to double fixate the muscle | Surgical method | Direct correction of muscles and tissues by incising the skin |
| Young people with thin and elastic skin / first surgery | surgical target | If the skin is thick or sagging / Reoperation, functional correction |
| Almost no scarring / Fast recovery | Scars and Healing | Possible scarring due to incision / somewhat slower recovery |
| The fixing power may be somewhat weak (compensated by double fixing) | retention | Excellent fixation and retention power |
| Mild ptosis correction possible | Correction degree | Effective in correcting moderate to severe ptosis or muscle asymmetry |
Could I also get ptosis?
Ptosis Checklist
double If two or more of the following apply, ptosis is suspected.You can try it, but we recommend consulting a specialist.
- 1
- When the eyelids cover a large portion of the pupil even when the eyes are open

When eye correction surgery is necessary

- Alcohol and smoking slow down recovery and should be avoided for at least four weeks.
