Lower Eyelid Inverted Eyelash Correction
INDEX
Lower Eyelid Ectropion Correction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that corrects the condition where the lower eyelid’s eyelashes turn inward and rub against the eyeball. It fundamentally alleviates symptoms such as
pain, discomfort, redness, and watery eyes caused by inverted eyelashes, achieving both comfort around the eyes and enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Ingrown eyelashes caused by growth, aging, or eyelid structure often cannot be fundamentally resolved through eye drops or self-care alone, and appropriate surgical treatment is frequently necessary.
Our clinic performs inverted eyelash correction that focuses not only on functional improvement but also on achieving a natural-looking result.
