Ptosis Correction
Ptosis correction by board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in oculoplastic surgery. Over 25 years experience. Dr. Pongsak Clinic, Hua Hin.
Ptosis is a condition where the levator muscle that lifts the upper eyelid becomes weak, causing the eyelid to droop and cover the eye. This makes you look tired or sleepy, makes the eyes appear smaller, and may obstruct vision.
It can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired due to aging or previous eyelid surgery.
Treatment involves surgically strengthening the levator muscle (levator advancement), taking approximately 1 hour under local anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ptosis Correction
How long does ptosis correction take?
Approximately 1 hour under local anesthesia. No overnight stay required — you can go home the same day.
How is ptosis correction different from double eyelid surgery?
Double eyelid surgery removes excess skin and creates a crease. Ptosis correction strengthens the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid. Sometimes both procedures are performed together.
Why should ptosis be treated by an ophthalmologist?
An oculoplastic specialist has in-depth expertise in eyelid and periorbital anatomy, ensuring safe surgery with natural-looking results.
Does it hurt?
The doctor has specific techniques to ensure patients feel no pain during surgery. You can rest assured.
Is it an overnight stay?
No, it is an outpatient procedure. After the procedure is done the patient goes home, and comes to the clinic the next day for wound checking.
Can patients under 18 years old get this procedure?
Yes, with parental consent.
How do I book a procedure?
Come to the clinic for a health assessment and consultation. If everything is clear, you pay a 30% deposit and schedule a convenient date for both parties.
