Yes. Ptosis correction can improve asymmetry by adjusting one or both eyelids to a balanced, even position. Careful planning is essential for symmetric results. Dr. Kim analyzes both eyes closely to create natural, balanced eyelid height.

Yes. Drooping upper eyelids from ptosis often create a tired or heavy look, and correcting the eyelid position restores a brighter, more alert appearance. It addresses the underlying muscle, not just the skin. Dr. Kim evaluates the cause of heaviness to plan the most effective correction.

Ptosis correction is considered safe when performed by a board-certified surgeon with dedicated eyelid expertise. Dr. K. Charles Kim is ABPS-certified and trained under Dr. Robert Flowers, a pioneer of Asian eyelid surgery, giving him deep command of this delicate procedure. A thorough consultation ensures the safest approach.

Ptosis correction results are generally long-lasting, as the eyelid-lifting muscle is surgically tightened or repositioned to hold the improved position. Natural aging can gradually affect the eyelids over many years. Dr. Kim's precise technique supports durable, natural results.

Ptosis correction restores a more open, symmetrical eyelid position, which makes the eyes look brighter and more rested while keeping your natural eye shape. The change is corrective and natural. Dr. Kim carefully tailors the lift to maintain balance between both eyes.

Ptosis correction lifts a drooping upper eyelid by tightening or repositioning the muscle that raises it, which can clear obstructed vision and restore normal eyelid function. This improves both sight and appearance. Dr. Kim's expertise in delicate eyelid anatomy ensures precise, natural correction.

Most ptosis correction patients have sutures removed within about a week, with swelling and bruising easing over 2 to 3 weeks and the final eyelid position settling over the following months. Recovery is similar to eyelid surgery. Dr. Kim provides detailed aftercare for smooth, natural healing.
