Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to receive Ptosis Correction with Double Eyelid surgery?

A: No, it's optional. If you would like to create double eyelid lines, then you should receive Ptosis correction and Double Eyelid surgery together. If you would not like to have double eyelid lines, you just get Ptosis Correction surgery only.

Q: Does Non-incisional Ptosis Correction have a higher chance of releasing?

A: No, Non-incisional Ptosis Correction reinforces the opening eye forces. So, it is not easy to be released.

Q: Does Ptosis Correction create double eyelid lines?

A: No, the Non-incisional Ptosis Correction does not create defined double eyelids.

However, Ptosis Correction surgery can enlarge the size of the eyes effectively by removing unnecessary fats and muscles in the eyelids.

Q: Who is a good candidate for Non-incisional Ptosis Correction operation?

A: Most cases can be corrected with Non-incisional Ptosis Correction. However, if the soft tissues on the upper eyelids are too thick, or you would like to make your double eyelids smaller or larger by Ptosis Correction, Dr. Choi would recommend Incisional Ptosis Correction.
