Incision & Non-incision Ptosis Correction - What's the Difference?
What is ptosis?
Ptosis is a condition where drooping of the eyelids occur due to having a weak levator muscle.
Other factors such as age and having excess fat on the upper lids can cause ptosis as well.
Not only is ptosis aesthetically displeasing, as it causes a person to look sleepy and tired,
it can also cause functional discomfort to those who have it.
People with ptosis tend to use their forehead muscles to drag up the eyelids and open eyes wider, worsening forehead wrinkles and hollowness above the brows.
Ptosis correction is therefore desirable to look and feel less tired on the eyes and stop using forehead muscles too much as well as to get rid of other discomfort.
According to aesthetic standards, our eyes look best when 80 to 90 percent of the iris is exposed.
However, for those who have ptosis, only about 60 percent of their iris is exposed when fully opened.
Getting ptosis correction can refine your eyelid lines, help you open eyes wider easily without feeling or looking tired or without using your forehead!
Who are the candidates for ptosis correction?
Incision or Non-incision Ptosis?
A board certified surgeon will decide whether or not an individual needs incision or non-incision ptosis before the surgery.
Before a trip to the doctor, you can do a quick self-diagnosis as well.
Non-incision Ptosis Correction
- Ptosis is corrected by making very small holes on the upper lid
- Excess fat and skin removal is almost impossible
- Ideal for candidates with mildly sagging eyelids
- There is almost no scar after the surgery
- Not a good option for those with severe muscular ptosis
- Unable to unify multiple lines or get rid of existing lines/fold on lids
- Minor swelling after the surgery
How is non-incision ptosis correction performed?
Incision Ptosis Correction
- A small incision area is made to correct ptosis
- Fat (and skin) removal is possible
- Ideal for candidates with moderate to severe ptosis
- Incision leaves a scar, but with scar care we can minimize the appearance
- Refining eyelid line/folds into new line/fold is possible
- Swelling lasts longer than non-incisional
