BK Plastic Surgery Hospital

Sleepy and dull appearances are often caused by eyelids covering pupils due to ptosis - weakness of levator muscle.
Formation of wrinkles on forehead is
unavoidable since raising eyebrows are
necessary to open the eyes. Therefore,
ptosis correction to shorten the levator
muscle with incision along the inner
surface of eyelid or eyelid creases is mandatory.

If patients having ptosis symptoms receive double eyelid surgery without ptosis correction due to its cost
of possible scar induced from incision, thick eyelid lines or asymmetrical eyes can result after surgery.
There are also possibilities of no change or smaller appearance of eyes, thus, we strongly recommend ptosis
correction with double eyelid surgery.

Non-incisional ptosis correction means that it literally corrects ptosis-levator muscle weakness- without any incisions.
Most ptosis cases -caused by weakness of muscle related to raising eyelids- had been corrected by an incisional method
that involves prolonged swelling and increased recovery time. In order to overcome the disadvantage, BK Hospital is now
performing the non-incisional ptosis correction, so that the patients can achieve both aesthetic and functional effects
without any incisions.

Significance of BK Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction

Non-Incisional Ptosis correction VS Incisional Ptosis Correction

Of the two methods, a suitable surgical method will be chosen depending on the condition of each patient.

	Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction	Incisional Ptosis Correction
Strength to open eyes	A little weak	Severely weak
Fat deposit	Small	Large
Upper eyelids	Normal	thick
Droopiness	Slight	Severe
Sleepy looking	A little sleepy-looking	Seriously sleepy-looking

It is a method to shorten the muscles that raise the eyelidsby tying them with a thread passed through inside surface of
eyelids. The strength to open eyes is stronger when the levator muscle is shorter.

1. Micro incision is made along double eyelid line.

2. The orbicularis oculi and tursus are pulled up after tying them strongly.
