FAQ

Double eyelid vs. ptosis

What is the difference?

Double eyelid surgery creates a fold. Ptosis correction adjusts how wide the eye actually opens and the shape in which it opens. Because double eyelid surgery alone can make the actual opening slightly smaller, mild ptosis correction is often performed together.

Is it incisional or non-incisional?

Both exist. The choice depends on whether skin needs to be removed and on your eye structure.
