Can blepharoplasty improve eye muscle weakness?
In general, ptosis of the eye muscles can be improved through double eyelid surgery, which can be performed using various methods such as suture technique (non-incision), Korean-style three-point, full incision, partial incision, or minimally invasive techniques. If improvement is desired, it is recommended to consult a reputable hospital.
