Non-Incisional Method

Non-incisional Ptosis Correction is a procedure that adjusts the tension of the eye-opening muscles through small punctures without incising the skin, increasing iris exposure and creating more defined eyes. It is suitable for those with thin skin and minimal tissue or mild ptosis, and can create more defined eyes when combined with Double Eyelid Surgery or Epicanthoplasty.

Recommended for

· Those with thin skin and minimal tissue · Those with mild ptosis · Those with minimal under-eye sagging · Those with firm under-eye skin

The Key to Beautiful Eyes

The key to beautiful eyes lies in the proportion between a double-eyelid height that suits the Face and the size of the visible iris. Appropriate Ptosis Correction strengthens the eye-opening muscles to increase iris exposure and create beautiful eyes.

Double Eyelid Surgery

Creates a double-eyelid line by inducing adhesion between the skin surface and the tarsal plate (or septum).

Ptosis Correction

Adjusts the eye-opening muscles to strengthen the ability to open the eyes.

Most Ptosis Correction procedures are performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery.

The Relationship Between Ptosis Correction and Ptosis

Ptosis is a condition in which weakened eye-opening muscles cause drooping eyelids to cover the iris, resulting in a tired appearance. Regardless of whether ptosis is present, Ptosis Correction performed together with Double Eyelid Surgery can greatly help create beautiful eyes.

When Ptosis Is Present

Ptosis Correction is performed to improve ptosis symptoms and enhance the overall eye appearance.

When Ptosis Is Not Present

Ptosis Correction is performed for cosmetic purposes to increase iris exposure and improve the double-eyelid line.

Points to Consider for Ptosis Correction

Because Ptosis Correction requires careful adjustment of the correction strength and double-eyelid line height according to each individual's condition, it is especially important to choose a physician with sufficient experience and expertise. Cases in which Ptosis Correction may not be suitable · Severe eye protrusion – If there is insufficient tissue, Overcorrection may make it difficult to close the eyes. · Those who have undergone multiple eye surgeries · Women in their 40s to 50s – If the eyelids are droopy, Overcorrection may create a harsh appearance. · When the eyes and eyebrows are close together – The distance between the eyes and eyebrows may become even narrower, creating a crowded appearance.

Features of Non-incisional Ptosis Correction

Point 1. Long-lasting results without concern about loosening

When Ptosis Correction strengthens the eye-opening muscles, the eyelid skin folds stably at the double-eyelid fixation points, allowing results to last longer. Even with Non-incisional Ptosis Correction, there is a low possibility of the line loosening.

Point 2. Effective Results Even Without Incisions

If ptosis is not severe and the skin is not thick, Non-incisional Ptosis Correction can be as effective as an incisional approach.

Features of AB Ptosis Correction

Point 1. Surgical Planning That Minimizes Tissue Damage

· Removes only excessively developed tissue. · Minimizes tissue damage to reduce scarring and support faster recovery.

This case required an incision due to abundant tissue and ptosis. By removing only excessively developed tissue, the eyes appear natural with almost no swelling, bruising, or scarring even 7 days after surgery.

Point 2. Combine with Ptosis Correction for a High, Dramatic Line

· The higher the double-eyelid line, the more important it is to improve eye-opening strength as well. · If the eye-opening muscles are not strengthened in proportion to the line height, the skin may not lift together with the muscles, causing a puffy eyelid appearance.

Point 3. Adjusting the Correction Location for Each Eye Shape

· Corrects the areas between the inner border of the double-eyelid line and the Pupil, and between the outer border and the Pupil. · The correction location differs depending on eye shape, and care is required to avoid Overcorrection when correcting the outer iris area.

By fixing points A and B differently according to eye shape, a natural yet dramatic line that suits the Face is created.

Point 4. Improvement of Both Pseudo-Ptosis and True Ptosis

· Whether pseudo-ptosis or true ptosis is present, Ptosis Correction of an appropriate strength is required. · The condition of ptosis is analyzed from multiple angles, and the procedure is performed only when necessary.

Point 5. Different Correction Strength for Each Person

· The eyelid shape and line are precisely analyzed to optimally adjust the degree of correction. · Since double-eyelid depth and height vary according to correction strength, delicate surgery is needed to avoid Overcorrection.

Pre- and Postoperative Precautions

Before Surgery

· Please inform us in advance if you have underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid disease; medication allergies; or a history of surgery related to the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain. An anesthesia consultation and additional tests may be performed if necessary. · Stop taking aspirin, pain medications, hormonal medications, herbal medicine, and vitamin supplements starting 1 week before surgery. Please bring any medications you are currently taking on the day of surgery. · Smoking delays recovery and increases the risk of infection and anesthesia complications, so stop smoking from the day you decide to undergo surgery. Stop drinking alcohol 1 week before surgery. · Fast for 10 hours before surgery, including water, candy, and gum. · Remove all nail polish and gel nails, and do not wear contact lenses or makeup on the day of surgery. Please wear comfortable clothing with front buttons. · Please inform us in advance if you experience a high fever, cough, or cold symptoms within 1 week before surgery, or if your menstrual period coincides with the surgery date. · You cannot drive yourself on the day of surgery.

After Surgery

· Sleeping with your head elevated above your heart for 3–4 days after surgery can help reduce swelling. · Apply cold compresses only through the third day after surgery. Major swelling usually subsides within 1 week, while residual swelling may continue for 1–3 months. · Sutures are removed between 3 and 10 days after surgery depending on the condition of the wound. Do not rub or squeeze your eyes forcefully, and do not forcibly remove scabs. · Face washing and light makeup are permitted from the day after suture removal. Heavy eye makeup and contact lenses are permitted after 3 weeks. Avoid saunas and swimming for 1 month. · Light exercise is permitted after 1 week, and strenuous exercise after 1 month. · Alcohol and smoking are prohibited for 1 month, as they may cause inflammation and delay recovery. · The final eye appearance settles over 3–6 months after surgery.

Please Be Sure to Check

For Ptosis Correction, balancing correction strength and double-eyelid line height is important. Overcorrection may make it difficult to close the eyes or create a sharp appearance. The surgical method and results may vary depending on the individual's condition and are determined through consultation with a specialist.
