Everything About Upper Eyelid Surgery

What is upper eyelid surgery

The upper eyelid refers to the overall upper part of the eye. It is a surgery that removes eyelid skin covered by sagging eyelids. Genetic factors and aging are the main causes, and it can be said to be the most fundamental core procedure in upper eyelid surgery.

Key points of upper eyelid surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is the most basic procedure for upper eyelids, and it can be expanded as needed to include ptosis correction, canthoplasty correction surgery, and fat repositioning for sunken eyelids.

A major advantage is that the height and shape of the double eyelid can be adjusted to match the eye condition and the patient’s needs.

Excessive skin removal can cause side effects.

Since the eyelid needs to descend to a certain extent for the double eyelid line to form, all sagging skin cannot be removed.

Making the double eyelid higher does not necessarily make the eyes look larger.

Fat removal surgery through incision

If there is too much fat, the eyelids can feel heavy and the double eyelid line may be difficult to maintain properly. This can be improved through fat removal surgery. During upper eyelid surgery, the amount of fat can be adjusted through an incision.

Excessive fat removal can cause hollowing of the eyes, and fat naturally decreases with aging, so some fat should be left in place.

Upper eyelid surgery and fat removal surgery

Upper eyelid surgery and fat repositioning surgery

This is a surgery that repositions and adds volume to hollow eyes by moving fat during upper eyelid incision surgery.

Rather than transplanting fat from outside, it makes maximum use of orbital fat and moves it to the hollow area. Because this is movement within the orbit, the blood vessels are not cut, so the volume is sufficiently maintained even after surgery. There is no foreign-body sensation at all, and it is the safest method.

Upper eyelid surgery time and care

The surgery takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes for both sides combined and is performed under local anesthesia.

Because it is local anesthesia, fasting is not required.

For the first 1–2 days after surgery, it is best to rest and avoid overexertion.

After surgery, for about 2 weeks, you should avoid irritating the eyes, such as rubbing them strongly, and avoid postures that lower the head and increase intraocular pressure.
