qd Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction
Surgery in which excess upper-eyelid skin and eye-opening function are each assessed. The need for skin removal and for functional correction is distinguished, with brow position, eye closure and dry eyes considered together.
Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction is available at QD Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea.

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
Brow position, overhanging skin, muscle function and dry eyes are examined separately.
Separate indications for skin and functional correction
We explain whether skin removal alone is enough or functional correction should be added, and plan the skin to keep and the crease.
Remaining skin, closure and dryness
After correction within the agreed extent, eye closure and symmetry are checked and follow-up for the wound and ocular surface is arranged.
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.
Surgery in which excess upper-eyelid skin and eye-opening function are each assessed. The need for skin removal and for functional correction is distinguished, with brow position, eye closure and dry eyes considered together.
Eyelid assessment
Brow position, overhanging skin, muscle function and dry eyes are examined separately.
Surgical approach
We explain whether skin removal alone is enough or functional correction should be added, and plan the skin to keep and the crease.
Recovery and follow-up
After correction within the agreed extent, eye closure and symmetry are checked and follow-up for the wound and ocular surface is arranged.
Please read this before treatment
- The skin incision and eye closure after functional correction are cared for together. If tightness or dryness persists, do not simply increase the prescribed care on your own; the ocular surface and remaining skin are checked at the clinic.
- 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.

Settling
Lid height and crease appearance can change as swelling settles. Follow-up compares function and symmetry rather than judging the final result immediately.

How it compares
| Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction | Incisional Ptosis Correction | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of correction | Surgery in which excess upper-eyelid skin and eye-opening function are each assessed. The need for skin removal and for functional correction is distinguished, with brow position, eye closure and dry eyes considered together. | Through an eyelid incision, the structures that open the eye are checked and the extent of correction needed is planned. Skin and fat condition and eye closure are assessed together to adjust eyelid height and the crease. |
| Recovery and follow-up | The skin incision and eye closure after functional correction are cared for together. If tightness or dryness persists, do not simply increase the prescribed care on your own; the ocular surface and remaining skin are checked at the clinic. | Care for the incision so it is not pulled or rubbed; when the stitches come out depends on how the wound is healing. Early swelling can make the crease look high or the two sides look different, so function and scarring are followed up together. |
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.

SurgeryErbium 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, with light sedation if needed. (Results vary by individual.)

SurgeryErbium Lower Blepharoplasty
qd erbium lower blepharoplastyErbium lower blepharoplasty is surgery that assesses excess lower-eyelid skin and protruding fat together. Through an approach just below the lashes, the skin is tidied and, where needed, fat is repositioned or partly adjusted. Eyelid support and dry eye are checked to plan the extent of removal.
SurgeryUpper Blepharoplasty
qd upper blepharoplastyUpper blepharoplasty is surgery that adjusts excess upper-eyelid skin to improve a heavy look. Brow drooping and eye-opening strength are assessed separately, and skin removal alone does not correct ptosis. The incision position and extent are set with a natural crease line in mind.
