Non-Incisional Method
Is asymmetric eye correction possible with the non-incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the difference in eyelid thickness and muscle strength is not significant, asymmetric eyes can be corrected by designing the knot positions differently on the left and right. If the difference is large, the incisional method is more advantageous.

I have ptosis; can it be resolved with the incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes. During the incisional method, the levator aponeurosis can be precisely adjusted to correct ptosis as well. A sleepy-looking impression is clearly resolved.

Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
Non-incisional vs. Incisional: Which is better?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThe answer depends on the patient's eye condition. Our clinic applies the non-incisional method in less than 10% of cases, proceeding carefully only when strict indications are met, such as thin skin, good eye-opening strength, and no asymmetry.
