Ptosis is the abnormal drooping of the upper eyelid caused by weakness or detachment of the levator muscle that lifts the lid. It can be congenital or acquired.

Acquired ptosis often results from aging, contact lens use, prior eye surgery, or trauma. It can affect one or both eyes and may interfere with vision when severe.

Dr. Kim personally performs ptosis correction by tightening or repositioning the levator muscle through a small, hidden incision in the eyelid crease. Results restore symmetry and improve the field of vision.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Ptosis Correction is right for you.
