Non-Incision Eye Correction
A woman in her 20s with mild ptosis and 2–3 mm skin droop achieved a softer, more defined look through non-incision eye correction alone, confirmed at her 6-week follow-up.
* Basic Information
Woman in her 20s
Eye-opening strength: slightly weak — tends to raise her eyebrows to open her eyes.
Skin sagging: 2–3 mm
Skin thickness: relatively thin
Tear duct drainage is not uncomfortably blocked.
Chief concern: wants to improve the feeling of skin covering the inner corner of her eye. She is often told she looks blank or fierce because of it.
* Consultation
The excess skin covering the inner corner of the eye gives a slightly fierce impression, and eye-opening strength is also a bit lacking.
We initially wondered whether an incision might be necessary, but determined that a sufficient eyelid crease could be created with non-incision alone. This is likely possible because the skin is not particularly thick and the sagging is only 2–3 mm.

Non-incision eye correction
* Post-Surgery Progress
Since she had traveled quite a distance, she came in for her follow-up at 6 weeks post-surgery. Now that the skin droop at the inner corner and the ptosis have been corrected — doesn't she look much softer and more defined? :)

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is non-incisional ptosis correction suitable?
Yes, if the skin is thin and the skin sagging is minimal, around 2-3mm, non-incisional ptosis correction alone may be sufficient to improve the line. It can also be considered if the power to open the eyes is slightly weak.
Can non-incisional ptosis correction change one's impression?
Yes, your impression can become softer and clearer. When skin sagging and ptosis at the front of the eyes are resolved, the overall impression improves, reducing the feeling of looking dull or fierce.
Is skin thickness or degree of sagging important for non-incisional ptosis correction?
Yes, it is important. In the case of the example in the main text, the skin was not very thick and the skin sagging was only 2-3mm, so it was determined that line formation was possible with non-incisional surgery alone. The surgical method may vary depending on the individual's condition.
What are the possible side effects after non-incisional ptosis correction?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
Who should I consult for non-incisional ptosis correction?
It is recommended to consult and undergo surgery with a plastic surgeon. Through sufficient consultation with a specialist, you can receive an accurate diagnosis and establish an appropriate surgical plan tailored to your eye condition.
