About this treatment
In one paragraph

Ptosis correction at Waleerat Clinic involves surgical strengthening of the levator muscle responsible for lifting the upper eyelid. This treatment is suitable for individuals experiencing functional droopiness of the upper eyelid, often resulting in a tired appearance.

The procedure typically takes 60 minutes under local anesthesia and requires a 7-day downtime. The price range starts from ฿119,000 at our Bangkok clinic.

This service is FDA-approved in Thailand. Results are typically noticeable within a few weeks, with full stabilization expected within 3-6 months.
