Why are my non-surgical options for ptosis repair (photo)

I have mild ptosis of the left eye. I know surgery is my best bet but I'd like to avoid it if there are alternatives that are just as good. I'm already in talks with my local eye surgeon but unfortunately, due to living on an island, we only have surgical correction available. I will be in LA April 3-10. I'm leaning more toward the non-incisional suture technique. Let me know your thoughts on this method & provide photos if you have any! How long does it last & what is the downtime?
