Chunho upper eyelid surgery: Has your drooping eyelid been making things very uncomfortable? (Written by a doctor)

Hello.

I’m Jin Young Lim,

the CEO doctor of

Piaf Clinic.

“As I’ve gotten older, my eyelids

have started to droop,

and my field of vision has become

uncomfortable..”

“Because of my drooping eyelids,

people around me often say

I look tired..”

You were probably looking into Chunho upper eyelid surgery because of concerns like these.

In fact, as many people enter their 40s,

they begin considering upper eyelid surgery because of drooping eyelids.

But before visiting a clinic,

it’s natural to have many worries.

“What if the surgery goes wrong

or the problem comes back later?”

“What if my impression changes in an unnatural way?”

As a practicing doctor, I deeply understand how you feel.

So in this post, before you decide on surgery,

I’d like to share the things you must know,

and offer advice on what standards to use when choosing a clinic

to achieve a safe and satisfying result.

If you focus for just 3 minutes, this should be very helpful. ^^

Chunho upper eyelid surgery?

You should first understand the cause accurately.

Has your drooping eyelid been making things very uncomfortable? (Written by a doctor)

First, I’d like to explain why the upper eyelid droops.

Because you can only truly understand the need for surgery

when you know the cause accurately.

The reason the upper eyelid sags

is aging.

When we open our eyes,

a muscle called the “levator palpebrae superioris”

is used unconsciously.

This muscle is also called the “upper eyelid levator.”

The problem is that as we age,

the strength of the “levator muscle”

diminishes.

As the muscle weakens,

the power needed to open the eyes

also becomes insufficient.

What happens if you try to force your eyes open wide by exerting effort?

Not only do wrinkles form on the forehead,

but the eyes and surrounding muscles

can quickly become fatigued.

Also, the skin and fat that make up the eyelids

gradually sag naturally

as part of aging.

If the skin of the upper eyelid sags,

it can cover the eyeball and make your field of vision uncomfortable.

The upper eyelid droops as a result

of these combined factors.

“Ah, so it’s natural for the eyelids

to sag as you get older.”

That’s right.

This is also why so many middle-aged people

consider eye surgery.

Now you probably have a better sense

of what the Chunho upper eyelid surgery process is like.

A portion of the sagging eyelid skin

is removed to improve visibility,

sagging fat is removed or moved to another area,

and finally, the “levator muscle”

is strengthened or shortened

to reinforce the ability to open the eyes.

That is upper eyelid surgery.

If you remember what I just explained,

it will definitely help you decide whether to proceed with surgery.

Next, I’ll give you a short but important piece of advice

on what standards to use when choosing a clinic.

One piece of advice

I wanted to give as a practicing doctor!

Has your drooping eyelid been making things very uncomfortable? (Written by a doctor)

The advice I wanted to give may seem obvious.

But that’s exactly why it is so basic

and so important.

Some people choose a clinic based on things like

many reviews,

a location close to home,

or special promotions...

That does not mean it is a wrong choice. ^^;

However, I’d like to say that it is more important to visit a place that offers a “customized solution.”

In other words, your face should be examined in detail,

and you should undergo surgery at a place that suggests a solution tailored precisely to you.

Why is that?

Because just as each person has a different job, hobby, and personality,

those looking into Chunho upper eyelid surgery also have different face shapes.

The thickness and degree of sagging of the skin and muscles,

the distribution of fat,

the overall impression and mood...

You need a clinic that examines all of these one by one

and says, “It would be best to proceed in this direction,”

so that you can avoid regrettable outcomes.

That way, when the bandages come off and you look in the mirror,

you’ll be greeted by eyes that look natural and not artificial.

Therefore, visit at least 3 clinics in person

and check how they carry out the examination.

Right now, this may not feel clear,

so it may seem confusing.

But after visiting several places,

you’ll think, “Ah, so that was the kind of advice the doctor at Piaf Clinic was giving me~”

I sincerely hope this has been helpful

for those searching for Chunho upper eyelid surgery.

So far, this has been Jin Young Lim,

the CEO doctor of Piaf Clinic.
