# Partial incision ptosis correction, similar to non-incisional methods, offers the advantages of 1. minimal swelling and fast recovery, while also 2. allowing for fat removal and 3. providing stronger adhesion.

# Bulging under-eye fat can create a swollen and fatigued appearance. Since this can be resolved relatively simply without scarring via the internal conjunctiva, it is an excellent option for those with minimal skin sagging.
