Overview
Non-incisional double eyelid surgery is one of the best surgeries to create larger eyes without the need for any incisions. It will create a more refreshed appearance, correcting the eyes and making them look more symmetric. Fine threads are tied below the upper eyelids.
The main part of the eye that the surgeon will work on and improve is called the levator muscle. This component is connected to the tarsus of the upper eyelid. The levator muscle is mainly responsible for elevating the upper eyelid and creating a create in the eyelid area. When this muscle is weak, your eyes may look more droopy, which makes you look tired.
The outcome of this surgery will be natural but defined eyes. Non-incisional double eyelid surgery can be performed if the patient is looking for a natural result and prefers non-invasive procedures. It is also highly recommended in case the patient has very thin eyelids, for which the non-incisional surgery method might lead to better results than the incisional method. Please keep in mind that for some patients, non-incisional surgery might not lead to permanent results.
