What You Should Be Sure to Check When Looking for a Clinic for Upper Blepharoplasty

Hello, we are ‘Re:本 Plastic Surgery,’ located at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station.

As you get older, drooping eyelids can make you look older.

In addition, they can block your field of vision, cause the eyes to become irritated, or cause the eyelids to turn inward and rub against the eyelashes.

For this reason, eye surgery for middle-aged patients should focus not only on improving the aesthetic aspect, but also on addressing functional concerns.

Upper blepharoplasty, well known as a middle-aged eye procedure, is a surgery that especially improves sagging skin on the upper eyelids.

It is performed by making an incision along the double-eyelid line, appropriately removing excess skin and fat, and then connecting the skin and muscle tissue to create a double eyelid.

By improving drooping upper eyelids, it can help create a more lively and youthful-looking eye area.

However, because upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that deals with sagging skin and fat, there are many more factors to consider than with general eye surgery.

If the procedure is done carelessly, it can cause various problems such as a double eyelid that protrudes like a sausage shape or a line that becomes excessively thick.

Therefore, before surgery, you must have a direct consultation with the plastic surgery specialist who will perform the procedure,

and from the design stage onward, the procedure must be carried out carefully with each individual’s characteristics in mind.

Characteristics of Middle-Aged Eye Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that must deal with sagging skin and fat, so there are more factors to consider than with general eye surgery.

In addition, middle-aged skin has characteristics that differ somewhat from those of younger people.

Since the skin is basically in a loose, sagging state, removal of eyelid skin is unavoidable.

Also, because skin regeneration is reduced, excessive bleeding or scarring may occur during the removal process.

If you have underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes, extra caution is needed when administering anesthesia and performing surgery, so special care is required.

Many middle-aged patients are also reluctant about changes in their appearance after surgery.

If the skin sagging is severe, upper blepharoplasty involves a larger amount of incision, which can make the impression appear harsher and narrow the distance between the eyes and eyebrows.

If the line is made appropriately, even if a double eyelid is created, it can still look natural and can actually make the eyes appear clearer.

Therefore, middle-aged eye surgery should be approached with the goal of finding a method that is as natural as possible while also resolving functional issues.

This requires the surgeon’s experience, skill, and attention to detail.

Please remember that this should be entrusted to someone who truly understands the anatomical characteristics of middle-aged eyelids and surrounding tissues.

Upper Blepharoplasty Precautions

You should avoid clinics that simply standardize things as ‘middle-aged eye surgery = upper blepharoplasty.’

Everyone has different eye shapes, degrees of eyelid sagging, and fat locations.

Before surgery, a plan should be made with consideration not only for the overall facial balance, but also for the delicate areas around the eyes.

It is not a good idea to decide on surgery with a vague mindset of, ‘My eyelids sag, so I need upper blepharoplasty!’

Also, looking for a place that only specializes in upper blepharoplasty alone can be risky.

If a one-size-fits-all procedure is performed, it may create results that look burdensome and unnatural,

and in severe cases, side effects can occur, so caution is needed.

In addition to upper blepharoplasty, there are various other methods for improving upper eyelid sagging, such as brow lift surgery and ptosis correction.

Depending on your current eye shape, the degree of eyelid sagging, and the cause, different surgical methods can be applied,

and the surgical technique for upper blepharoplasty itself can also vary depending on the double-eyelid line.

Therefore, if you are looking into upper blepharoplasty or middle-aged eye surgery,

please look for a place with sufficient experience in a wide range of cases and eye surgeries for various age groups.

All procedures and surgeries performed in plastic surgery clinics are generally carried out on the patient’s face.

Upper blepharoplasty is no exception.

I would like to say that, at the very least, plastic surgery should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist.

Even if a surgery does not involve an incision, there will inevitably be differences in understanding and detail, and upper blepharoplasty is a procedure in which an incision is especially essential.

Only someone who has studied the field for a long time as their specialty can provide safe and satisfying results.

The eyes are an important part of the face that greatly influences one’s overall impression.

Therefore, please make your decision after receiving a careful diagnosis and sufficient consultation at a clinic with extensive experience in middle-aged eye procedures.
