Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved symmetrical, natural-looking eyes through non-incisional ptosis correction despite congenital muscle weakness.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Eye-opening strength: The left eye is congenitally very weak
# Skin thickness: Moderate
# Requirements: Natural and symmetrical double eyelids
* Consultation
# The patient desired to improve an asymmetrical impression caused by exceptionally weak opening strength in the left eye.
# Due to the severe asymmetry, incisional ptosis correction was recommended. However, the patient preferred a shorter recovery period, so we decided to proceed with non-incisional ptosis correction. We provided a thorough explanation that the correction of asymmetry might be less complete with this method.
# The plan was to create a natural line that suits the face without being excessive.
* Plan
# Non-incisional ptosis correction
* Post-Operative Progress
# During the ptosis correction, the amount of correction was adjusted differently for each side, with more correction applied to the left eye.
# Despite using the non-incisional method, the correction turned out better than expected, significantly improving the bilateral symmetry.
# The symmetry has improved, resulting in a natural and clear impression.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is non-incisional ptosis correction suitable?
According to this post, non-incisional ptosis correction can be considered if you desire a short recovery period. It may be particularly suitable for those who have weak eyelid muscles, wish to improve asymmetry, but are hesitant about incisional surgery.
Is non-incisional ptosis correction possible even with severe eye asymmetry?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, incisional ptosis correction was recommended due to severe left-right asymmetry, but non-incisional surgery was performed at the patient's request. However, it is important to be fully informed that non-incisional methods may not sufficiently correct severe left-right asymmetry.
What is the recovery period after non-incisional ptosis correction?
The post does not directly specify the recovery period, but it mentions that the patient "wanted a short recovery period after surgery, so non-incisional ptosis correction was performed." This implies that the non-incisional method has a faster recovery than the incisional method.
What are the advantages of non-incisional ptosis correction?
According to the post, a major advantage of non-incisional ptosis correction is a shorter recovery period after surgery. Additionally, in this case, the correction was better than expected, resulting in improved left-right symmetry and a natural, clear impression.
Are there any side effects after non-incisional ptosis correction?
No, side effects can occur. It is stated that complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry after surgery may vary depending on the individual and require caution.
