If Your Eyelids Have Sagged, Pay Attention to Upper Blepharoplasty in Apgujeong

Hello, this is Inek Plastic Surgery.

Many people feel that time passes very quickly as they get older. As you age, the shape of the eyes also changes—your eyes can begin to sag, and your eyelids can become thicker.

So, how can you improve a tired-looking eye shape caused by aging?

From here on, Inek, a clinic specializing in upper and lower blepharoplasty in Apgujeong, will explain the details.

If you are worried about sagging upper eyelids and hollow under-eye wrinkles as you age, upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty may be a good option.

This is because performing upper blepharoplasty, which corrects sagging eyelids and wrinkles, and lower blepharoplasty, which removes under-eye skin and wrinkles, at the same time can create a clearer eye shape and make your eyes feel more comfortable than before.

To put it simply, the upper blepharoplasty refers to the upper of the two folds that cover and open the front of the eye, while the lower blepharoplasty refers to the lower fold among the folds covering the front of the eye.

Wrinkles around the eyes do not disappear or improve if left alone; they can actually become more severe. So if you are concerned about wrinkles, it is better to correct them quickly through a procedure.

If left untreated for a long time, sagging eyelids can droop downward and block your field of vision, becoming not only a cosmetic issue but also something that can threaten your sight.

That is why it is best to look for a solution quickly and consult a specialist at a clinic that focuses on eye surgery.

Then how are upper and lower blepharoplasty performed?

Who usually undergoes upper blepharoplasty?

• People whose eyelids have sagged or stretched due to aging
• People whose eyelid-opening strength has weakened and who use their forehead or glabella to open their eyes
• People whose sagging eyelids cover the pupils and make their field of vision feel cramped
• People whose eyelids sag and who develop more wrinkles than before

Upper blepharoplasty may be performed in the cases above.

In the case of eye surgery, it is best to accurately assess the current degree of sagging skin around the eyes and the extent of wrinkles before proceeding, so it is recommended to consult with a specialist who has extensive experience in eye surgery. It is also best to have an in-depth consultation with someone who can make an accurate diagnosis of your eye condition.

In the case of upper blepharoplasty, the procedure involves excising sagging skin tissue and removing and repositioning fat. It is a relatively simple procedure that ends by connecting and suturing the levator muscle above the eyelid, and stitch removal is done after 5-7 days, so it does not greatly interfere with daily life.

It is mostly performed when the upper eyelids have severely sunken down, and if the condition is not severe, a brow lift may be recommended instead.

Therefore, it is best to decide on this part through consultation with a specialist.

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgery often chosen by people who have:

• Bulging under-eyes that become more noticeable with age
• Wrinkles under the eyes that make them look older
• Sunken under-eyes and severe dark circles

This surgery is commonly performed by people whose lower eye area looks cosmetically unappealing due to symptoms like these.

If the under-eye area is uneven and protruding, you may look tired or appear older than your actual age. This surgery flattens and brightens the area, helping create a more lively and youthful appearance than before.

So far, Inek Plastic Surgery, specializing in upper and lower blepharoplasty in Apgujeong, has explained the details.

Although both procedures are simple, the results can vary depending on which clinic performs the surgery and how it is done. If you want a satisfying outcome, we recommend finding a clinic that specializes in eye procedures and consulting with a specialist.
