About the Procedure

What is non incisional ptosis correction?

When your eyes are open but the iris stays partly hidden behind the eyelid, your gaze can look cloudy rather than clear. The same is true when the muscle that opens the eye is weak, leaving you with a sleepy look no matter how rested you are. Non incisional ptosis correction treats exactly these cases. Unlike conventional incisional ptosis correction, it reshapes the eyes without any incision, which makes it a good option when the eyelid skin is thin and the lid carries little fat.

Also known as the natural adhesion technique, it works through tiny openings instead of an incision, strengthening the muscle that lifts the eyelid while creating a double eyelid line at the same time.

Is It Right for You

Who benefits from the non incisional technique

  • Your eyelid skin is thin
  • Your eyelid skin is not significantly saggy and the lid carries little fat
  • You have a double eyelid line, but it loosens from time to time
  • Your crease splits into several faint lines instead of one clear line
  • A double eyelid forms easily when you use eyelid tape or similar aids
Operation Method

How the surgery is done

Four steps from your first consultation to a crisp, well defined double eyelid line, all without an incision.

01

Consultation and design

Before surgery, Dr. Lee consults with you in person and designs the line that suits your eyes.

02

Tiny openings

A series of tiny openings is created along the planned double eyelid line.

03

Muscle strengthening

The muscle that opens the eye is strengthened while the double eyelid line is anchored in place.

04

A clear, defined line

The result is a crisp, well defined double eyelid line and a brighter, more awake gaze.
