Hello, this is Director Choi Seung-hyeop of Wink Plastic Surgery. Today’s topic is upper eyelid surgery.

For people in middle age and older, the skin sags and the eye shape becomes slightly different from before. Upper eyelid surgery refers to redoing double eyelid surgery by removing sagging skin.


However, sometimes after upper eyelid surgery, the double eyelids become overly large or thick, making the surgery obvious and looking unnatural. For people in middle age and older, even when recreating a double eyelid, it is important to make it as natural and thin as possible.

Sagging skin can also be removed by properly using a brow lift, so it is worth considering together with upper eyelid surgery.

Upper eyelid surgery, which is a double eyelid procedure suitable for people in middle age and older, involves many factors that must be considered comprehensively, such as each person’s skin thickness and degree of sagging, the amount of fat, and the strength of eyelid opening.

If ptosis is present, it is better to perform it together with eye correction surgery. People in middle age and older may also develop ptosis due to aging, so it is a good idea to have it examined during the consultation as well.


If necessary, medial canthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty may also be considered together with upper eyelid surgery to make the eyes appear larger.

That concludes our overview of upper eyelid surgery.
