A Review of Upper Eyelid Surgery That Changed a Tired-Looking Eye Area

As we age, sagging eyelids

can obstruct our field of vision and change the strength needed to open the eyes.

Eyelids that gradually become heavier

can make us look tired,

but they can also cause functional discomfort.

Today, we would like to introduce a case of upper eyelid surgery

that addressed both aesthetic and functional concerns.

What Is Upper Eyid Surgery?

The upper eyelid consists of multiple layers.

When changes begin in one of these layers,

they can lead to drooping eyelids.

Unlike surgery to reshape the eyes,

upper eyelid surgery improves the function of the muscles that open the eyes

by tidying loose upper eyelid skin.

Analysis Before Upper Eyelid Surgery

✅ Heavy upper eyelids due to sagging skin

✅ The area beneath the eyebrows feels cramped

✅ The eye shape does not appear clear even when the eyes are open

When the eyes are open, the eyelids cover the pupils,

creating a tired and aged appearance.

The goal was to increase the visible area of the pupils through upper eyelid surgery

and improve the balance between the eyebrows and eyes.

Key Points of Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery, which offers the benefits described above,

must begin with a diagnosis.

At Luho Plastic Surgery,

• how much of the pupils is covered when the eyes are open

• how much the forehead muscles are being used

• whether the muscles that open the eyes have sufficient strength

These factors are assessed comprehensively,

and a customized approach is applied.

After: A Lighter-Looking Eye Area

✨ A clearer eye shape from increased pupil exposure

✨ The space between the eyebrows and eyes is naturally refined

✨ A more open-looking area around the eyes as the feeling of heaviness is reduced

As the weight pressing down on the upper eyes was reduced,

the area around the eyes became noticeably lighter.

After the sagging eyelid skin was refined, more of the pupils became visible,

creating a lively and youthful impression.

Upper eyelid surgery is a way to refine

heavy-looking eyes caused by sagging eyelids

and create a clearer appearance.

At Luho Plastic Surgery, the skin thickness,

degree of sagging, and muscle strength are analyzed comprehensively

to provide a customized procedure.
