Are you looking for before-and-after photos of upper and lower blepharoplasty because of your mother’s sagging eyelids or your father’s puffy under-eye bags, and because your parents’ faces no longer look the way they used to?

Of course, other people’s before-and-after photos can be a helpful reference, but they do not go very far in leading to a successful surgery. Below, I’ll explain why, from Ribbon Plastic Surgery, which has been performing anti-aging plastic surgery for more than 20 years!

Hello. We are ‘Ribbon Plastic Surgery,’ and for over 20 years, we have been responsible for your anti-aging plastic surgery in Sinsa Station.

At our clinic, we provide thorough pre-consultations for each and every person, and our policy is to help only with the plastic surgery methods that are appropriate.

The reason our plastic surgery clinic takes such a strict approach is that we do not want you to feel dissatisfied because of inappropriate plastic surgery.

The upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures you are interested in are also performed only for suitable candidates.

This is because even if people are around the same age, the conditions of each person’s eyes are all different. The reason we said earlier that other people’s before-and-after photos are not very helpful is exactly because of this.

Use them only as a reference to roughly estimate what changes the procedure may bring, and be sure to find out through a board-certified plastic surgeon which surgery can actually provide you with anti-aging results.

Below, let’s take some time to explain upper and lower blepharoplasty in detail. I think that if you read this and build up some basic knowledge about the procedure, it will be very helpful when you have a consultation.

What kind of surgery is it?

The skin around the eyes is thinner than other areas of skin and is a part that moves a lot, so it is one of the areas where aging quickly causes the skin to sag and the muscles to lose elasticity.

As the eyelids droop, they can block your vision or cause irritation around the eyes, making daily life uncomfortable. In addition, wrinkles under the eyes or prominent fat pads can make you look older and give a harsh or grumpy impression.

The surgeries to consider at this point are the upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty you are looking for.

• Upper blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is a procedure applied to sagging upper eyelids that have lost elasticity due to aging.

※ When performing upper blepharoplasty on eyes that already have a double eyelid

By removing the stretched skin tissue along the double-eyelid line and, if necessary, strengthening the function of the levator muscle, this procedure can help improve the strength used to open the eyes, creating larger, clearer eyes and a more lively, youthful appearance.

• Lower blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty is a procedure that helps improve aging of the lower eyelids.

How lower blepharoplasty is performed

As we age, the skin sags and wrinkles form, and in particular, the pocket surrounding the under-eye fat weakens, causing the fat to bulge outward more often.

This can make you look older, give a harsher-looking impression, or make you seem tired.

At this point, lower blepharoplasty can help create firmer and smoother under-eye skin by partially removing excessively sagging skin and by removing fat that has lost elasticity and protruded forward, or by moving it to the area below the deep tear trough and repositioning it.

Be careful with upper and lower blepharoplasty!

As the age range of people in economic activity has increased compared to the past, it seems that a pleasant appearance is recognized not only as a matter of aesthetic satisfaction, but also as an essential capability in social life.

In particular, more middle-aged and older adults are becoming interested in eyelid surgery, and in turn, more children are looking for information about it.

One thing I would like to emphasize is that you should be even more careful when deciding on a plastic surgery clinic and the procedure. If the surgery is performed incorrectly, it can cause not only functional problems with the eyes but also even greater external problems.

Eyelid surgery is a procedure that deals with the skin and muscles around the eyes. It is also performed in an area very close to the eyeball, so important blood vessels and nerves are present there.

If surgery is performed without a careful individual diagnosis, it can later cause various problems, such as the eyes not closing completely or the eyelids turning inward and damaging the cornea.

Please be sure to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who understands the anatomical structure well and has extensive surgical experience, and then decide on surgery carefully.

Today, I wrote this article to help those who are looking for before-and-after photos of upper and lower blepharoplasty. I tried to explain it as simply as possible, but I’m not sure if it was easy to understand. ^^

There are many other procedures besides upper and lower blepharoplasty that can help improve eyelid aging. What matters most is finding the procedure that suits your current eye condition and your needs.
