Achieve a More Youthful, Taut Eye Shape with Upper Blepharoplasty! (Eyelid Sagging Surgery)

In general, as people get older, the eyes begin to sag, and most people simply think the cause is that the eyelids have become loose. But in fact, the causes of sagging eyes vary, including sagging of the upper structures above the eyelid, such as the scalp, forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids.

When the eyelids sag, you may experience several inconveniences: 1. The eyebrows are pushed toward the eyeballs, which can reduce vision; 2. You may end up lifting your eyebrows with your forehead, which can cause wrinkles on the forehead. In addition, 3. The eyelids narrow the field of vision and affect function.

A plastic surgery procedure that can address these inconveniences and provide aesthetic improvement is upper eyelid wrinkle surgery.

Upper eyelid wrinkle surgery improves sagging of the eyelids, and depending on the area, it is divided into upper blepharoplasty and brow lift excision.

01 Upper blepharoplasty: A procedure that removes sagging skin from the eyelids and creates a new double eyelid line

02 Brow lift excision: A method that removes only the sagging skin without creating a double eyelid line, and appropriately excises the skin under the eyebrows

Then, in what cases can upper blepharoplasty and brow lift excision be distinguished? Upper blepharoplasty can be applied in cases where there is already a double eyelid line, ptosis is not accompanied, and the eyelid skin is not thick.

If upper blepharoplasty is performed in the early stage of eyelid sagging, before it has progressed significantly, it can not only prevent future wrinkles but also help maintain eyelid elasticity more quickly, making it more effective.

Upper blepharoplasty is performed as follows.

1. Design the eye shape that best suits the individual before surgery

2. Make an incision along the double eyelid line and remove sagging eyelid fat and skin

3. Pull up the loosened muscle and finish carefully

4. Complete a younger-looking eye shape with improved eye wrinkles

Then, who is brow lift excision effective for? Brow lift excision is mainly performed in middle-aged and older adults with thick eyelid skin, when the outer part of the eyebrow is significantly sagging, when the distance between the eyebrow and eyelashes is wide, or when there is eyebrow asymmetry.

Brow lift excision is performed by making an incision under the eyebrow, then pulling and fixing the incised area.

Because upper blepharoplasty should be planned with consideration of not only aesthetics but also function, and because it is important to make an accurate diagnosis tailored to each person’s condition, it should be planned through consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with extensive surgical experience.
