Droopy Eyelid Surgery by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Droopy eyelids can be caused by aging, weak eyelid muscles (ptosis), excess skin, or drooping eyebrows. At Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahn Sung Min carefully identifies the underlying cause before recommending the most appropriate treatment. The goal is to improve both eye function and appearance while maintaining natural facial harmony.
