VividEye surgery - Functional and structural
non-incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction ? This
new ptosis correction procedure was introduced in 2010, and just like its name,
is performed without using any incisions.
Teuim Plastic Surgery Clinic has developed its own method to supplement
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-opening power, 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 of double eyelid surgery used on
the caucasian people.
In other words, because the majority of Japanese
people and south asian 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 (Asians) and other races, the Teium Plastic Surgery
Clinic has modified the surgical method and created VividEye to ensure the best
possible results for those undergoing the eye procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for VividEye if I suffer from a severe case of ptosis?
=>Severe cases of ptosis can be due to congenital reasons or levator dehiscence
and can lead to unsatisfactory results from VividEye. This could be different
the case of Muller type ptosis, no matter how severe. In any event, we
Is it as simple as non-incisional double eyelid surgery?
=>VividEye is similar, but requires more surgery time as it is a bit more
involved. Recovery time however, is similar to conventional non-incisional
double eyelid surgery.
Will VividEye allow me to choose the height of the double eyelid
crease?
=>Yes, you can choose where you wish to have your double eyelid crease to be
located.
How much recovery time will I need after VividEye?
=>When undergoing incisional ptosis correction, it takes about two weeks for major
surgical swelling to subside. However, you should expect to recover from major
swelling in just a week after VividEye.
Do I need to worry about my double eyelid crease unraveling or becoming loose
after surgery?
=>Even incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis corrections carry some risk of
becoming loose or unraveled after surgery, and VividEye has a similar potential.
However, corrective or revisional surgeries in those cases are much easier and
simpler for VividEye.
I am a male who is not interested in having the double eyelid crease, and do not
want it to be obvious that I have had surgery. What can VividEye do for me?
=>One of the great advantages of VividEye is that it does not have strict
requirements for males. Although VividEye cannot avoid the double eyelid crease
completely, it can be minimized to be barely visible.
I have had incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction in the past,
but I am unsatisfied with the results. Instead of revisional surgery, should I
just elect for VividEye?
=>In the absence of any major scarring or adhesions, we recommend that you come in
for a consultation so that we can see what VividEye can do for you.
