Hello. This is I.NIQUE.

A person grows for a certain period after birth,

and as time passes, undergoes aging, gradually declining physically and cognitively.

During this aging process,

natural aging progresses, such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and reduced vision.

However, because people have a desire for beauty regardless of age,

they may feel regret when looking at themselves as they get older,

and if you see your parents feeling depressed or having lowered self-esteem because of this,

it is only natural to worry.

For these reasons, the frequency of plastic surgery among middle-aged women has also recently increased,

and satisfaction after the procedure is also very high. However, since it can feel mentally burdensome for a middle-aged woman to undergo full-face plastic surgery,

many choose eye surgery, which is the area that can provide the greatest satisfaction through plastic surgery.

So, how is eye surgery for people in their 40s performed?

First, for those whose eyes have become small and whose vision is blocked because the eyelids have sagged,

a brow-lift under the eyebrow is performed.

Also, for those who are worried because of bulging under-eye fat

and loose skin under the eyes,

lower blepharoplasty is performed.

First, the excision area for a brow-lift under the eyebrow

is different from the excision area for upper blepharoplasty.

The reason I.NIQUE Plastic Surgery chooses a brow-lift under the eyebrow is

that it removes the sagging skin and muscle beneath the eyebrow without altering the original eye shape,

which makes it less burdensome for those undergoing eye surgery in their 40s,

and because the recovery period is short, it is a procedure that we recommend at I.NIQUE.

In general, the biggest reason middle-aged women worry about eye surgery is

that they are concerned about what happens if their impression changes because of the eyes.

However, in the case of a brow-lift under the eyebrow,

it is an appropriate method for eye surgery in your 40s because it can improve sagging eyelids

without changing your impression.

But among patients, there are sometimes questions about upper blepharoplasty.

The reason is that, as a result, it can look unnatural and change your impression. Generally, the skin of a person’s eyelid is thin at the lower part and becomes thicker closer to the upper eyebrow.

However, in the case of upper blepharoplasty,

because the thin skin 바로 above the double-eyelid line is excised,

over time the naturally thicker upper skin moves down,

eventually making the eyelid thicker,

which leads to an unnatural appearance and can result in revision surgery later.

For this reason, I.NIQUE recommends a brow-lift under the eyebrow,

which removes the thicker skin on the upper side.

Second, about safe lower blepharoplasty

When middle-aged women undergo eye surgery,

each procedure is carried out with sufficient consultation with the patient

and, above all, with safety as the top priority. The reason includes the skin’s recovery ability and psychological burden.

Lower blepharoplasty is one of I.NIQUE’s eye surgery methods for people in their 40s,

in which the sagging tissue under the eyes is removed to create a clean under-eye area.

However, when performing this surgery,

only 80% of the skin is excised, which is a safe surgical method that can help prevent ectropion,

which may occur later.

If the sagging skin is removed as shown in the photo

and the protruding fat is repositioned,

you can achieve a natural, clean under-eye area like in your 20s and 30s.

The most important thing to watch out for when performing lower blepharoplasty is ectropion.

Ectropion is a condition where the lower eyelid turns outward,

and it is a side effect caused by excessive skin removal.

Therefore, at I.NIQUE Plastic Surgery,

only about 80% of the sagging skin is removed,

and the patient’s muscles are preserved as much as possible,

reducing the risk of ectropion that may occur later to nearly zero.

The skill that makes this possible

was built through I.NIQUE’s long-standing know-how in eye surgery

and the results of performing over 5,000 eye surgeries and revision surgeries.

Also, in recognition of I.NIQUE’s technical expertise,

we received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare,

and we also filed a trademark application with the Korean Intellectual Property Office using I.NIQUE’s own technology.

If you are considering eye surgery in your 40s,

it should be performed with the goal of patient safety and a successful surgery without aftereffects,

and for that, you must choose a medical team with proven skill in eye surgery.

Only then will there be no later revision surgery caused by side effects or failed eye surgery.

If you have decided on eye surgery, through one-on-one consultation,

find not only a design that suits your eyes,

but also a surgical method that minimizes discomfort for the patient

and thorough aftercare for successful results,

so you can regain your confidence with natural-looking plastic surgery that is not obvious.

Then, until now, this has been I.NIQUE, as if you were beautiful from the very beginning.

Thank you.
