Overcorrection following ptosis surgery can produce an unnaturally wide-eyed appearance, difficulty with eyelid closure, dryness, foreign body sensation, and visual discomfort.
In these cases, the challenge lies in reducing eyelid height without compromising muscle integrity or eyelid control.
Rather than aggressive reversal, Dr. Ahn performs delicate recalibration of levator tension and eyelid position, restoring balance between eyelid elevation and closure.
Special attention is given to blink completeness, corneal protection, and eyelid relaxation during rest.
The goal is a soft, comfortable eyelid position that functions naturally throughout daily activity—
not a fixed or strained appearance that worsens over time.
Dr. Ahn’s conservative approach minimizes the risk of instability, recurrence, or secondary functional problems.
