Middle-Age Concerns About Upper Blepharoplasty: Things to Check Before Surgery!

I want to get an upper blepharoplasty for my mom

but I have a lot of concerns

Hello, everyone :) Today, I’d like to tell you about upper blepharoplasty, a procedure that always draws a lot of interest. Upper blepharoplasty is one of the procedures that is always included in #middle-age plastic surgery. As aging progresses, the upper eyelids gradually droop more and more, which causes not only cosmetic concerns but also functional discomfort with vision.

So, what symptoms indicate that upper blepharoplasty may be needed?

1. My eyes feel heavy.

Do your parents often say that their eyes feel heavy? It may not simply be because they are tired or sleepy. If they say, “It feels uncomfortable to open my eyes,” or “Even when my eyes are fully open, my vision feels uncomfortable,” it is likely due to excess upper eyelid skin.

2. The eyelids have dropped enough to cover the double eyelids.

This can affect not only the functional aspect of the eyes but also their appearance. However, many people tend to brush it off by saying, “Plastic surgery at this age?” But with the age of 100 years being the norm, and even in middle age, I hope you don’t forget that your eyes are still an important asset!

Upper blepharoplasty can be performed using either an incisional or non-incisional method. The surgical method can vary greatly depending on the eye shape and condition. If a clinic says that non-incisional surgery is always difficult for middle-aged upper blepharoplasty, I recommend that you also consult another medical professional. Just because it is middle-aged upper blepharoplasty does not mean that the non-incisional method is always impossible, so please keep that in mind.

Depending on the eyes, double eyelid surgery may need to be performed at the same time, but this is not always necessary. Of course, if double eyelid surgery also needs to be done, the cost will naturally increase. So does that mean it is recommended just to add double eyelid surgery and increase the cost? No! In upper blepharoplasty, the cosmetic aspect is important, but it is also intended to more effectively improve the functional aspect of the eyes, so it is said to help make up for what may be lacking if only upper blepharoplasty is performed. I hope that helps : )

When planning to undergo upper blepharoplasty, there are many things to check carefully.

1. Choosing between incisional and non-incisional methods

2. Recovery time after surgery

3. Surgical cost

4. Postoperative care

5. Possible side effects

To go over these details thoroughly, the medical team’s expertise is probably the most important factor. Don’t think it is too late for middle-aged plastic surgery, and consider upper blepharoplasty for a satisfying result.
