Who it’s for
Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.
- People with overhanging skin and effort when opening the eyes
- People checking whether skin laxity and reduced opening function coexist
- People seeking functional assessment while considering their existing crease
Assessment includes eyelid height, opening strength, brow position and eye closure. A photograph or procedure name cannot determine suitability; another approach or observation may be advised after examination.
start with your concern
Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.
Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.

the principle
How it works
Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction
This consultation distinguishes overhanging upper-eyelid skin from difficulty lifting the lid itself. Examination determines whether skin treatment alone is appropriate or functional correction is also needed. Brow descent is considered separately when it contributes to heaviness. The remaining skin and planned lid height are balanced with closure and ocular-surface health.
How it works
Upper-eyelid skin excess versus brow descent
Assess brow position, overhanging skin, muscle function and dry eyes separately.
Separate indications for skin and functional correction
Explain whether skin treatment alone or combined correction is appropriate and plan retained skin.
Remaining skin, closure and dryness
Check closure and symmetry after the agreed correction and arrange wound and eye-surface follow-up.
the qd standard
The same treatment, never the same plan.
Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.
- DIAGNOSIS FIRST
Cause before name
We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.
- LESS, PRECISE
Only as much as needed
Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.
- HONEST LIMIT
The limits, explained too
We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.
personal plan
From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.
Assess excess upper-eyelid skin and opening function separately. Skin treatment and functional correction are planned around brow position, eye closure and dryness.
Eyelid assessment
Assess brow position, overhanging skin, muscle function and dry eyes separately.
Surgical approach
Explain whether skin treatment alone or combined correction is appropriate and plan retained skin.
Recovery and follow-up
Check closure and symmetry after the agreed correction and arrange wound and eye-surface follow-up.
What the procedure is like
- Assess brow position, overhanging skin, muscle function and dry eyes separately.
- Explain whether skin treatment alone or combined correction is appropriate and plan retained skin.
- Check closure and symmetry after the agreed correction and arrange wound and eye-surface follow-up.
Anaesthesia, surgical scope and expected duration are agreed after an in-person examination. Arrange the day of surgery, transport home and follow-up together.
Please read this before treatment
- Review both the skin incision and closure after functional adjustment. Persistent tightness or dryness needs assessment of the ocular surface and remaining skin rather than self-escalation of aftercare.
- Check swelling, bruising, closure, dryness and wound healing. Follow the individual instructions for cooling and washing, and avoid rubbing the eyes.
- Wound review and any suture removal depend on the approach. Contact lenses, eye makeup and exercise resume according to wound and ocular-surface assessment.
Safety & considerations
Possible reactions
- Swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection and scarring at incision or suture sites are possible.
- Overcorrection, undercorrection, asymmetry, crease changes, recurrence and further correction are discussed.
- Incomplete closure, dry eyes, corneal irritation and, rarely, complications affecting vision can occur.
Before surgery
- Report previous eyelid or forehead surgery, eye conditions, contact-lens use and dryness.
- Discuss medicines, supplements, bleeding disorders, allergies and smoking; do not stop prescribed medicines yourself.
Sudden vision changes, severe pain or rapidly increasing one-sided swelling require immediate contact with the medical team or emergency care. Correction, scars and recovery vary between individuals.
what to expect
What to expect over time
A general guide to how the days and months after treatment usually unfold. Results vary by individual.
Early recovery
Check swelling, bruising, closure, dryness and wound healing. Follow the individual instructions for cooling and washing, and avoid rubbing the eyes.
Review appointments
Wound review and any suture removal depend on the approach. Contact lenses, eye makeup and exercise resume according to wound and ocular-surface assessment.
Settling
Lid height and crease appearance can change as swelling settles. Follow-up compares function and symmetry rather than judging the final result immediately.
Sessions & results
Review both the skin incision and closure after functional adjustment. Persistent tightness or dryness needs assessment of the ocular surface and remaining skin rather than self-escalation of aftercare.

Assessment includes eyelid height, opening strength, brow position and eye closure. A photograph or procedure name cannot determine suitability; another approach or observation may be advised after examination.
| Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction | Incisional Ptosis Correction | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of correction | Assess excess upper-eyelid skin and opening function separately. Skin treatment and functional correction are planned around brow position, eye closure and dryness. | An incision allows assessment of the structures involved in eyelid opening. Skin, fat and eye closure guide planning of lid height and the crease. |
| Recovery and follow-up | Review both the skin incision and closure after functional adjustment. Persistent tightness or dryness needs assessment of the ocular surface and remaining skin rather than self-escalation of aftercare. | Protect the incision from rubbing and tension. Suture review follows wound healing; early swelling can make the crease look high or uneven, so both function and scarring are followed. |
before consultation
Before you decide, the questions people always ask
Excess upper-eyelid skin does not always mean that opening function is impaired. Skin-only treatment and combined functional correction have different indications. Muscle function, lid height and compensatory brow movement guide the decision. The plan addresses the cause of the concern without automatically adding an unnecessary adjustment.
Skin overhang caused by brow descent differs from a problem within the eyelid. Removing skin without considering the brow may not address the intended concern. Assessment with the forehead relaxed helps distinguish the contributing structures. Consultation explains the limits of an eyelid approach and why brow assessment may be necessary.
Changes in overhanging skin and lid height can alter how much of the crease is visible. Discuss the crease and aspects of your expression you wish to preserve beforehand. Planning considers brow position and closure as well as the amount of skin removed. Early swelling can affect appearance, so the settled result is reviewed over time.
The severity and cause of dryness and the ability to close the eyes need assessment first. Skin removal and lid elevation may affect exposure of the ocular surface. Eye assessment or dryness management may take priority, and surgery may be reduced or deferred. Bring details of drops, contact lenses and previous eye treatment to the consultation.

Under-eyeErbium Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
qd erbium under-eye fat repositioningUnder-eye fat repositioning treats eye bags by moving the fat that bulges under the eye down into the hollow of the tear trough, smoothing the transition between the lid and cheek. At QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, this is performed through the inside of the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) using an erbium laser rather than a blade, so there is no external skin incision. It is carried out under local anesthesia. (Results vary by individual.)
