The No. 2 most loved surgery in 2024 is non-incisional eye surgery. Many people sought it out because it has the advantage of being able to improve the eyes without making an incision.

Because it is so popular, it seems many people also have questions about it. So today, we would like to take some time to talk in detail about non-incisional eye correction and double eyelid surgery.

Why is non-incisional double eyelid surgery and eye correction special?

Non-incisional eye surgery already says a lot in its name. As the name suggests, it is a procedure that can change the eye shape without making an incision.

Since eye surgery can be performed without an incision, the biggest advantage is that it does not leave a scar. In principle, surgical procedures involve an incision, so concerns about scarring are unavoidable.

Whether a scar remains depends on how delicately the incised skin is sutured. (Of course, Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic also performs incisional double eyelid surgery with great care so that no scar is left. ^^)

In the case of non-incisional eye surgery, there is no incision, so no scar remains and recovery is also very fast. Because of that, it is preferred by people who do not want it to look like they had surgery.

Typical examples include people in jobs that require meeting many people, such as flight attendants, instructors, and influencers.

Non-incisional eye correction is also a type of eye surgery that many celebrities undergo. Since celebrities work in front of cameras, it can be difficult for them to try incisional eye surgery, which comes with concerns about scarring and recovery time.

However, non-incisional eye correction has a very short recovery period and, above all, leaves no scar, making it ideal for creating a natural change and becoming prettier without it being obvious.

What is the difference between double eyelid surgery and eye correction?

Many people think double eyelid surgery and eye correction are similar, but double eyelid surgery and non-incisional eye correction are procedures with different purposes.

Double eyelid surgery is for people who do not have a double eyelid or are unhappy with their existing double eyelid line. In other words, it is a procedure that creates or changes the double eyelid itself.

Eye correction is a procedure that corrects the ability to open the eyes, not the double eyelid line. People who are candidates for eye correction often say they are told they look sleepy. That is because weak eye-opening force makes the eyelids look slightly closed.

In the end, both double eyelid surgery and eye correction create a more defined eye shape, so people who have long felt that their eyes look dull can be satisfied with the results.

	Double eyelid surgery	Eye correction
Purpose	To create a line in small eyes to make them look bigger	To improve drooping eyelids caused by weak eye-opening force (improve ptosis)
Recommended for	People who do not have a double eyelid or are bothered by a faint line	People whose eyelids droop and make them look sleepy or whose eyes look dull
Effect	Creates a double eyelid line and a more defined eye shape	Strengthens eye-opening force so the eyes look larger and brighter

Unlike double eyelid surgery, which is performed on the eyelid surface, eye correction strengthens the muscles that open the eyes by correcting the eye muscles.

Our eyes have muscles that close them and muscles that open them. The muscles that open the eyes are divided into the levator palpebrae superioris in the front and the Muller muscle in the back. Eye correction works by tying the Muller muscle to make you open your eyes with stronger force than usual.

Do I need to get both double eyelid surgery and eye correction?

This is also one of the most common questions from patients coming in for double eyelid surgery or eye correction. To answer first: you do not necessarily have to get both double eyelid surgery and eye correction together.

As explained above, the purpose of double eyelid surgery and eye correction is different from the start. For people whose eye-opening force is fine but who are concerned about their double eyelids, we recommend only double eyelid surgery. If you already have a double eyelid but your eye-opening force is insufficient and your eyes look sleepy, we recommend eye correction.

Many people considering eye surgery have both a need for double eyelids and an issue with weak eye-opening force, so in many cases they undergo both double eyelid surgery and eye correction together. That is probably why some people think the two should always be done as a set. But it is not necessary to have both procedures together.

As we always say, the most important thing in plastic surgery is getting the procedure that is truly needed for you. That is why at Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic, we carefully check the patient’s eye-opening force, whether the black part of the eye is clearly visible, and the desired height and shape of the double eyelid line.

Only when such a thorough diagnosis is made can satisfying eye surgery results be achieved, so even if it takes a long time, Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic insists on detailed consultations.

However, for people who think the double eyelid line is important in eye surgery, there is something to be careful about with eye correction. After eye correction, you may feel that the double eyelid line has become smaller.

If you open your eyes with more force than usual while looking in the mirror, the double eyelid can fold inward and appear as if the line has become smaller. In the same way, when eye-opening force is strengthened through eye correction, the line may seem smaller than the existing double eyelid line.

In such cases, having both double eyelid surgery and eye correction can improve eye-opening force and allow you to create the eye shape you want, so you can achieve the eye surgery results you expect.

I only want eye correction. Is that not possible?

For the reasons explained above, it is certainly possible to have eye correction only. For such patients, Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic recommends the “10-minute eye correction.”

The 10-minute eye correction is a special non-incisional eye correction unique to Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic. It can create the desired eye shape through eye correction alone, without double eyelid surgery, which is why it accounts for a large part of the surgery reviews for Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic’s eye surgery.

Basically, if you already have a double eyelid but your eye-opening force is weak and you look sleepy, there is no need to get double eyelid surgery. Strengthening the eye-opening force naturally improves the double eyelid line as well. It is also suitable for people who do not have a double eyelid, do not want to create one, but want to strengthen their eye-opening force.

The 10-minute eye correction improves the eye shape by simply tying the Muller muscle without making an incision, so it is also good for people who want to keep their eyes without a double eyelid (what is commonly called “single eyelids” ^^).

Today, we talked about non-incisional eye surgery. Please also remember that just because a non-incisional approach is good does not mean non-incisional eye surgery is always the right method.

You can easily test eye surgery methods at home. If you use a toothpick to create a double eyelid line and it forms nicely and stays in place without easily collapsing, then eye surgery may be possible without an incision.

However, if you create a line but the skin is thick so it does not hold well and quickly folds back, then eye surgery through an incision would be more suitable.

These are simple testing methods, and from the patient’s perspective it is difficult to determine accurately whether an incision is needed to improve the eye shape or whether non-incisional eye correction would be sufficient. Therefore, it is best to discuss in detail through a consultation and receive a diagnosis optimized for each individual.

If you have any questions after testing the incisional and non-incisional eye surgery methods we introduced, please feel free to contact Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic. We will explain everything as carefully and in as much detail as possible so that no questions about eye surgery remain.
