Hello. I’m Dr. Choi Jae-ik of AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the plastic surgery questions that many of you have been curious about.

In general, when surgery is performed by removing only sagging skin, the amount of skin removed increases, which can cause symptoms such as being unable to close the eyes properly.

Just as you fold up pants when they are too long, creating a double eyelid line allows the skin to fold in, which has the effect of reducing sagging skin.

Therefore, during a typical upper blepharoplasty, surgery is performed by setting an appropriate line and removing the sagging skin from that line.

If you have any other questions, please leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Thank you.
