Eyelid Drooping Surgery for Your Parents: Learn It Properly Before Getting It Done

Hello. This is AINIK Plastic Surgery.

As a person ages, the skin naturally begins to sag, not only the skin but also the muscles and eyelids. However, because of this, some parents experience inconvenience in daily life when their eyelashes poke their eyes.

Or, some parents may even suffer from depression due to external changes such as wrinkles and sagging skin caused by aging.

However, because middle-aged eyelid drooping surgery is for people who are older than younger patients, it is important to choose a hospital that can perform more delicate surgery and provide safe procedures.

Today, at AINIK Plastic Surgery, for those who are considering plastic surgery for their parents, we would like to talk about what kinds of methods are available for middle-aged plastic surgery and what you should check when choosing a hospital.

First, AINIK’s eyelid drooping surgery methods for middle-aged patients include brow-below lifting and lower blepharoplasty.

Brow-below lifting is a surgical method recommended for people who are uncomfortable because sagging eyelids make the eyes look smaller and block their vision.

Also, lower blepharoplasty is a suitable surgical method for people who have concerns about under-eye fat protruding and the skin under the eyes stretching, causing an unappealing appearance and making the face look older.

Then, let’s take a closer look at how the above surgeries are performed.

AINIK’s brow-below lifting addresses sagging skin between the eyebrows and the eyes by removing the skin and muscle below the brow.

Because of this, it does not alter the patient’s original double-eyelid line, and only the sagging area is removed, so the impression after surgery does not change. This can produce a much more natural result than upper blepharoplasty.

Then why is upper blepharoplasty not recommended?

The biggest reason AINIK does not recommend upper blepharoplasty is that the result after surgery can look unnatural, and the person’s impression can change. Middle-aged patients, in particular, want a natural change without their original impression changing even after surgery.

However, because upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that removes tissue just above the double-eyelid line, the thick skin above can descend, making the eyelids look thicker, and over time the eyes may appear unnatural.

That is why AINIK recommends brow-below lifting, which removes the thick skin from the upper area.

Second, how does AINIK’s lower blepharoplasty proceed?

AINIK’s lower blepharoplasty is a surgical method that creates a cleaner under-eye area by removing sagging tissue under the eyes. The key point here is that only 80% of the skin is removed, which helps prevent ectropion and makes this a safer surgical method.

If lower blepharoplasty is used to remove sagging skin under the eyes and redistribute protruding fat, the cleaner and more natural under-eye area can brighten the overall impression of the face.

However, if you choose a hospital with little experience in eyelid drooping surgery, a complication called ectropion, where the lower eyelid turns outward after lower blepharoplasty, may occur.

This symptom is a surgical side effect caused by excessive skin removal. To prevent such side effects, AINIK removes only about 80% of the sagging skin and preserves the patient’s muscles as much as possible, performing surgery to reduce the risk of ectropion to nearly zero.

Of course, the reason AINIK Plastic Surgery can achieve high satisfaction with eyelid drooping surgery is due to the skill of the medical team, who have performed more than 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries, as well as thorough preoperative consultations tailored to each patient’s eye condition and careful postoperative care.

Because middle-aged patients often feel a greater psychological burden about surgery than younger patients, when choosing a hospital, it is most important to choose one without side effects, rather than focusing on the cost, and one that has the know-how for proper eye surgery.

Today, we looked into eyelid drooping surgery for parents and introduced the surgical methods performed at AINIK.

That has been AINIK, as if it had always been beautiful from the start.
