As we age, the skin around the eyes sags

and droops downward.

That may be only natural.

Today, I’ll talk about

upper blepharoplasty, a procedure that lifts drooping eyelids :)

What is upper blepharoplasty?

This is a procedure that lifts the upper eyelid skin

that has sagged due to aging and removes the stretched

skin.

Severe eyelid drooping can block the field of vision,

make the eyes feel cramped, and cause tears to run out to the side

and irritate the skin, so it can improve both aesthetic and functional aspects.

If you already have a double eyelid line

or want one,

after removing some of the stretched skin, muscle, and orbital

fat,

the double eyelid line is exposed.

The skin is excised and lifted along the lower line of the eyebrow.

This refers to cases where sagging has not only occurred in the eyelids, but throughout the forehead and eyebrows as well. Depending on the condition, it can be corrected with a forehead lift and a sub-brow lift. It is mainly suitable for people with severe sagging on the outer corners of the eyes, and in some cases, a natural double eyelid can be created together with buried-suture double eyelid surgery.

▶Advantages◀
