Ahn Sun-young is presumed to have undergone upper blepharoplasty, a double-eyelid surgery for middle-aged patients, in the latter half of 2025.

At the end of 2025, she spoke about being satisfied with the results during the initial period after surgery.

During the recovery process in early 2026, she also made various comments about having changed into someone like a strong, assertive woman.

Recently, she said that she had heard people around her saying things such as, “You look scary when you open your eyes wide” and “Your expression looks intense.”

I would first like to clarify that the exact cause can only be known by the individual and the medical professionals in charge, so it cannot be determined from the outside.

• Why can changes in appearance occur after upper blepharoplasty? -

In the clinic, I often meet people who visit with similar concerns.

Especially among people in their 40s to 60s, after undergoing upper blepharoplasty,

it is not uncommon for them to say, “My eyes feel more comfortable, but my expression has become too intense.”

Upper blepharoplasty is a very effective procedure that removes sagging skin, broadens the field of vision, and creates a more youthful appearance around the eyes.

However, removing skin naturally reduces the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, known as the Brow-Eyelid Distance.

In middle age, the eyebrows often descend along with the forehead.

Therefore, when skin is removed from the upper eyelid area, the eyebrows may remain in a lowered position as well,

causing the eyes and eyebrows to become excessively close together.

The changes that may appear at this point include:

• An expression that looks intense.

• Looking as if one is angry.

• A fierce-looking appearance.

• A Case of a Forehead Lift After Upper Blepharoplasty -

The patient in this case is a woman in her late 40s, around the same age as Ahn Sun-young.

The sagging skin was largely addressed through upper blepharoplasty,

but even as time passed, her greatest concern was that “my expression has become too intense.”

Upon examination, the cause was not so much a problem with the double eyelids themselves as the eyebrows having become positioned too low.

In such cases, it is important not to remove more skin again, but to restore the eyebrows to their proper position.

For this reason, an endoscopic forehead lift was performed.

• Points to Consider When Having a Forehead Lift After Upper Blepharoplasty -

There is an important point here.

A certain amount of skin has already been removed from eyes that have undergone upper blepharoplasty.

Therefore, raising the eyebrows too much, as in a typical forehead lift, can lead to unexpected changes.

Typical examples include:

• The double-eyelid crease becoming excessively thick.

• The eyes appearing too large, as if startled.

• An unnatural eye shape that does not suit an East Asian face.

• Overcorrection.

Therefore, a forehead lift performed after upper blepharoplasty should not be a procedure to “raise the eyebrows as much as possible,” but rather one to “raise them appropriately.”

This is because the position of the eyebrows must be restored while maintaining the balance of the double-eyelid creases that have already been created.

Ultimately, the goal of the surgery is not the amount of lifting, but the restoration of the ideal distance between the eyes and eyebrows and a natural appearance.

• Middle-aged eye surgery is a process of creating a natural appearance. -

For middle-aged eye surgery, simply removing sagging skin is not always sufficient.

Because the eyelids and eyebrows move together like a single structure, correcting only one side can disrupt the balance.

Therefore, when planning upper blepharoplasty, it is important to assess not only how much skin will be removed,

but also the position of the eyebrows and the degree of sagging in the forehead.

In addition, for those who have already undergone upper blepharoplasty, when performing a forehead lift,

it is important to avoid excessive lifting while taking the existing shape of the double-eyelid creases into account.

Creating a natural overall facial appearance can be considered the key to achieving a good result.
