Vivideye (Non-incisional ptosis correction)
Non-Incisional Double eyelid Surgery with Ptosis Correction - VividEye surgery
(A new paradigm for ptosis correction, VividEye surgery)
1.What is blepharoptosis correction(corrective eyelid surgery)?
A recent study has revealed that nearly 68% of Korean women lack the double-eyelid feature, along with possessing the smallest eyes among all ethnic groups worldwide. Simply explained, the ptosis correction procedure produces an aesthetically clear improvement in eye shape and size.
Medically speaking, a blepharoptosis correction can be applied to strengthen the levator muscles required to increase the vertical exposure amount of the eye and visual clarity. However, the medical terminology ‘blepharoptosis’ is used more specifically to treat those who experience moderate to severe conditions involving actual eye functionality and performance.
The term ‘corrective eyelid surgery’ is more commonly used among those of Asian ethnicity seeking cosmetic improvements for brighter looking eyes. It is a relatively common occurrence in the Asian population to see cases where a patient’s upper eyelash or eyeline covers about 2-3mm of the upper corneal margin due to slight ptosis.
For those who lack strength in their eyes, conventional double eyelid surgery alone is no longer adequate in increasing the amount of its exposure, shape and size. Until now, undergoing ptosis correction to reinforce the function of the levator muscle, in conjunction with incisional double eyelid surgery, has produced the greatest possible cosmetic result.
Example)Magic epicanthoplasty with incisional ptosis correction surgery
while incisional surgery was the only solution available in the past, the introduction of non-incisional ptosis correction (2010) will begin a new era of minimal-invasive procedures with no scarring and quick recovery time.

2.What is non-incisional ptosis correction?
This new ptosis correction procedure was introduced in 2010, and just like its name, is performed without using any incisions.
VividEye surgery - Functional and structural non-incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction
Teuim Plastic Surgery Clinic has developed its own method to supplement its double-eyelid surgery with the non-incisional ptosis correction procedure VividEye, which has been especially tuned for Korean or other similar ethnic groups to deliver the most aesthetically pleasing results.
VividEye, non-incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction, bases its procedure with special consideration for the eye shape and size unique to Korean or other ethnic groups similar to Korean individuals for the following reasons:
1. Caucasion individuals have a natural double eyelid feature because part of their levator muscle is connected to a piece of skin underneath the upper eyelid. Korean people, however, have several characteristics that prevent the formation of a double eyelid crease; the orbicularis muscle behind the upper eyelid skin is too thick, the orbital fat sags too low, or mostly importantly, there is too much tension in their Mongolian folds.
2. The orbicularis muscle surrounding the eye serves an important function of allowing individuals to close their eyelids. Korean people have more prominently developed orbicularis muscles, and have particularly thick fibrous bands in the inner corners of their eyes, creating the Mongolian folds. These folds make it difficult for eyes to open completely and also prevents the formation of double eyelid creases. Furthermore, while double eyelid creases lie along a horizontal vector of the eye, they are counteracted by the tension created by Mongolian folds, causing surgically created double eyelid creases to unravel. Korean people cannot be subject to the same methods used on the Japanese people
In other words, because the majority of Japanese people are considered as Southern Mongoloids with weak tension in their orbicularis muscles, Korean people, catergorized as Northern Mongoloid, cannot be subject to the same surgical methods, because they would experience inconsistent results.
Taking into consideration the structural differences between Korean and Japanese people, the Teium Plastic Surgery Clinic has modified the Nagasao method and created VividEye to ensure the best possible results for those undergoing the procedure.
Who is eligible for VividEye?
1. Those who are eligible for non-incisional double eyelid surgery, but also suffer from mild ptosis.
In the past, all ptosis corrections have required the use of incisions, but VividEye provides both non-incisional double eyelid formation and non-incisional ptosis corrections.
2. Those who have natural double eye lids but drowsy looking eyes.
3. Those who have already undergone double eyelid surgery but wish to increase the vertical size of their eyes
4. Those who want minimal recovery time and a quick return to their normal routines avoiding incision method (The orbital fat was removed via stab incision)
5. Males who wish to increase the vertical size or exposure of their eyes without having heavily defined double eyelid creases.
6. Those who are unsatisfied with a previous incisional ptosis correction.
7. Those who do not want procedural scars, want bigger eyes, minimal or small double eyelids
8. Patient suffered from a severe degree of ptosis. A Magic epicanthoplasty with VividEye can correct these cases.
9. For making out-fold type double eyelid, vivid eye surgery is helpful in some cases.
Things you should know
1. In order to avoid complications or unnecessary procedures, we recommend you to first come in and consult with us or send us photos if you are considering or indicated to VividEye.
2. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes for three to four weeks due to the chance of loosening buried stitches.
3. Those who have undergone vision or laser eye corrective surgery should wait for about three months before electing to have VividEye.
