For the non-incisional treatments, the obvious pros are that there are no scars and when there is no cut, I would not say that the downtime is shorter, but at least you do not have to wait for the scar to fade. That is the obvious advantage. But I think the cons are a lot more because you are a lot less sure of the amount of tightening you have, a lot of times when we do non-incisional, there is a lot of estimations, so we have to estimate accurately as we can, therefore, advocate this for milder forms of ptosis.
The second time I find that is a bit more important that people don’t really focus is that when we do an incisional, we can adjust more, when we do non-incisional and we happen to overcorrect, it’s a little bit harder to adjust if there is imbalance so it’s a very big con for me.
Personally, I do not see the non-incisional being a lot more advantageous than even the incisional ones except for the scars, even the incisional ones the scars are often very nicely in the fold.
