As the aging population is rapidly increasing,
various companies in Korea
are expanding consumer activities
targeting senior customers.
As many people want to enjoy a healthy
and pleasant later life even after retirement,
seniors and middle-aged adults who invest
time and money in themselves are gradually increasing.
Among them, the so-called “filial piety plastic surgery”
called youthful eye surgery is gaining popularity
among middle-aged and older adults.
It is said that many middle-aged and senior people
also list youthful eye surgery as a gift they would
like to receive from their children.
This is an indicator that shows the desire
for a youthful appearance and beauty is no longer
limited to people in their 20s and 30s.
Today, we will introduce the types and methods
of youthful eye surgery, one of the representative
procedures of filial piety plastic surgery.

The types of youthful eye surgery include upper blepharoplasty,
lower blepharoplasty, and under-brow lifting surgery.
First, in the case of upper blepharoplasty,
it is performed when the skin above the eyes sags
over the eyes, causing the double eyelids to become smaller
and making the eyes appear smaller as well, creating not only
aesthetic concerns but also symptoms of discomfort when opening the eyes.
Interestingly, eyelid surgery is one of the procedures
that is not recommended because it can easily create wrinkles
and look unnatural.
Upper blepharoplasty removes skin along the double eyelid line,
which creates a step due to the thick skin just above
the line,
and as a result, the eyelids can look puffy
and cramped,
and the skin may bunch up or wrinkle.
Therefore, at Ineek,
rather than upper blepharoplasty,
depending on the patient’s condition,
under-brow lifting or lower blepharoplasty is recommended.

Under-brow lifting surgery
addresses sagging skin between the eyebrows and eyes
by removing the skin and muscle under the eyebrows.
For eyes with drooping eyelids caused by aging,
the sagging eyelid is lifted and fixed after removing
the skin and tissue under the eyebrows,
and because the incision is sutured along the eyebrow line
to avoid visible scarring,
the scar is not very noticeable,
and the eye area changes to a clearer and more elastic look.
Under-brow lifting does not greatly change the impression
even after surgery,
so it is much more natural than upper blepharoplasty
and is a commonly chosen method for youthful eye surgery.

Second, lower blepharoplasty removes only 80% of the skin
to prevent ectropion,
and is one of the youthful eye surgery procedures
that creates a clean under-eye area by removing sagging tissue
under the eyes.
In lower blepharoplasty, it is very important to perform
the surgery in a way that prevents the side effect of ectropion,
which is a condition where the lower eyelid turns outward.

Ectropion is a side effect caused by excessive skin removal,
and at Ineek, to address this,
only about 80% of the sagging skin is removed,
while preserving as much muscle as possible to reduce
the risk of ectropion to nearly zero.
Lower blepharoplasty can reposition the sagging and bulging
skin and fat under the eyes to design a natural and clean
under-eye area.
Both lower blepharoplasty and under-brow lifting
create a brighter and younger-looking impression around the eyes,
which is why they are popular as youthful eye surgery,
but it is very important to choose a customized procedure
that matches your symptoms through sufficient consultation
with an experienced plastic surgery specialist.
Functional improvement must be achieved as well,
and because the dignified atmosphere unique to middle age
must be preserved,
you should choose a hospital with extensive experience
in eye surgery.
