Midlife Eye Surgery Methods, Safe and Perfect!

Hello, this is Ainique Plastic Surgery.

Recently, midlife eye surgery, widely known as a filial piety procedure, has often included

lower blepharoplasty, which neatly reduces puffy under-eye areas caused by natural skin aging,

and under-brow lifting, which makes sagging eyes look clearer and firmer.

Today, together with Ainique Plastic Surgery, let’s take a closer look at these two midlife eye surgery methods.

Midlife eye surgery that can help you return to the refined, firm look of your younger years!

First, under-brow lifting

In the case of under-brow lifting, it is a midlife eye surgery method chosen by people whose eyelids have sagged, making their eyes look smaller and blocking their vision, causing discomfort.

This method removes the stretched skin and muscle under the eyebrow to improve eyelid sagging without altering the patient’s original eye shape.

Because of this, it is preferred by middle-aged patients since it can naturally change the eye area without changing the facial impression, but above all, it has the advantage of a short recovery period.

Midlife eye surgery methods, First: under-brow lifting

The surgical process is as shown in the photo above. While Ainique Plastic Surgery recommends under-brow lifting, we do not recommend upper blepharoplasty. The reason is that the results after surgery can be unnatural and even change your impression.

The reason can be found in the surgical method. In the case of the eyelid skin, the lower part is thin, and it becomes thicker as it gets closer to the upper eyebrow.

Even those reading this article can notice this by directly touching their own eyelids.

In upper blepharoplasty, the surgery removes the thin skin just above the double-eyelid line. As a result, the thicker skin above can gradually start to sag, which eventually makes the eyelids thicker and creates an unnatural eye shape.

For this reason, Ainique Plastic Surgery recommends under-brow lifting, which removes the thicker skin on the upper side.

However, we do not recommend under-brow lifting unconditionally. Rather, we choose the surgical method after sufficient consultation with the patient, while considering the condition of the patient’s eyelid skin, the current condition of the eyes, and more.

Midlife eye surgery methods, Second: safe lower blepharoplasty

This is a procedure that naturally and cleanly improves the lower eye area, which has become uneven and cosmetically unappealing as the skin and fat under the eyes sag. It involves removing the stretched skin and repositioning the protruding fat.

When performing this lower blepharoplasty, the most important thing to watch out for is ectropion.

Ectropion refers to a condition in which the lower eyelid turns outward, and it is a side effect caused by excessive skin removal.

That is why Ainique Plastic Surgery removes only about 80% of the sagging skin, while preserving the muscle as much as possible, thereby lowering the risk of ectropion to close to zero.

All of this technique comes from the long experience and expertise of the surgeon at an eye surgery specialty clinic.

In the case of midlife eye surgery, there are differences in recovery ability and skin condition, so a more careful and precise procedure is needed than for younger patients.

That is why we plan a safer surgical approach, use methods that minimize patient discomfort, and proceed with thorough aftercare.

We hope the midlife eye surgery methods introduced today were helpful for those who are 고민하고 계신 분들에게?
