When the Distance Between the Eyes and Eyebrows Is Wide, or When the Eyelids Are Sagging

As we get older, skin is gradually pulled downward by gravity.

As time passes, this leads to skin sagging throughout the body, regardless of the area.

The eyelids are no exception.

As we age, one of the reasons our once lively, youthful impression gradually becomes less distinct, and starts to look tired and fatigued, is eyelid sagging.

Eyelid sagging not only creates a tired appearance, but depending on the severity, if the sagging is significant, it can also make it difficult to secure a clear field of vision, causing functional discomfort. For this reason, if eyelid sagging is a concern, it should be improved quickly through an appropriate procedure.

Among the options considered by people concerned about eyelid sagging are brow lift surgery and forehead lift surgery.

Because each procedure has different methods and is recommended for different candidates, an in-person consultation is recommended for a more accurate diagnosis.

At the eyelid sagging surgery clinic near Sinsa Station, brow lift surgery involves making an incision along the line below the eyebrow, pulling the skin upward, and improving wrinkles and sagging skin.

The existing double-eyelid line is left untouched, and because the border just below the eyebrow is incised, scar visibility may be reduced.

The brow lift surgery takes about one hour, and after surgery, patients rest comfortably in a private recovery room for one person before going home on the same day as a general rule.

Stitch removal and a follow-up check by the medical staff are done after 7 days, so the burden of recovery is relatively low. Even after surgery, our clinic supports patients’ speedy recovery through continuous communication, swelling laser treatment, and other recovery management systems.

At a hospital that performs eyelid sagging surgery, sufficient consultation time is used to understand the patient’s eye condition more closely.

During the consultation, a thorough discussion can be conducted while considering both functional and balanced aspects.

From a functional standpoint, when opening the eyes, about 80–90% of the black of the eye should be visible for the eyes to appear clear, and the strength of the muscles used to open the eyes is measured to identify factors that affect that strength.

From a balanced standpoint, even if the eyes are not originally uneven, they may become uneven during the process due to other causes, so the correct plan is applied through a thorough analysis.

If the patient already has a double-eyelid line, the size and shape of the double eyelid may change, so the eye size and shape are carefully discussed and planned in advance before proceeding.

Many people consider brow lift surgery or forehead lift surgery to improve eyelid sagging.

Forehead lift surgery broadly pulls up the soft tissue of the entire upper face, helping improve wrinkles across the upper face. If you want to address both the eyebrows and eyelid sagging at once, forehead lift surgery may be appropriate. Brow lift surgery, on the other hand, is a process in which an incision is made along the line just below the eyebrow and then sutured, removing the sagging eyelid tissue and incising and fixing the muscle.

If the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide, and the frown lines and crow’s feet are not severe, brow lift surgery may be appropriate.

However, the appropriate method may vary depending on the patient’s eye condition, needs, skin condition, and other factors, so an in-person consultation is recommended for an accurate diagnosis.

Brow lift surgery is recommended for the following people:

• People who have difficulty opening their eyes because eyelid sagging is severe

• People whose double-eyelid line is hidden due to eyebrow sagging or eyelid sagging

• People who have developed more forehead wrinkles in order to lift sagging eyebrows

• People who have eyelid sagging but do not want double-eyelid surgery

• People with thick eyelids for whom double eyelids do not suit them

• People who want a relatively simpler surgery than forehead lift surgery, and more, etc.

If any of the above applies to you, we recommend receiving detailed counseling about brow lift surgery.

At the eyelid sagging surgery clinic near Sinsa Station, in addition to brow lift surgery, a variety of anti-aging procedures such as facelift, forehead lift, and thread lifting are also offered.

With personalized consultation and diagnosis by board-certified plastic surgeons specializing in each area, a high-quality anti-aging treatment process is provided.
