Can Middle-Aged Double Eyelid Surgery Be Done? What Is Double Eyelid Surgery for Your 40s and 50s?

(Objeto Plastic Surgery TIP)

Hello, this is Objeto Plastic Surgery.

Some people think double eyelid surgery is something only teens and people in their 20s get. Because of that, there are more people than you might expect who worry about whether they can even ask a plastic surgery clinic for middle-aged double eyelid surgery, even if they want it.

If you want to make your eyes look more open, regardless of age, you may have considered double eyelid surgery at least once. Some people want surgery because they have no visible double eyelid crease, while many others want improvement because their double eyelid line is not distinct due to multiple folds, or because their existing crease is gradually being covered by drooping eyelids.

In fact, among the patients who visit Objeto Plastic Surgery, many ask whether double eyelid surgery is possible for people in their 40s and 50s, or whether their parents can undergo middle-aged double eyelid surgery.

Today, we’d like to talk about double eyelid surgery for people in their 40s and 50s, so if you have been curious about double eyelid surgery, please stay with us մինչև the end!

Double eyelid surgery for middle age must be different.

When people hear “double eyelid surgery,” they may think it is all the same. But double eyelid surgery for middle age is a little different from double eyelid surgery for teens and people in their 20s.

Double eyelid surgery for middle age is better described not as a typical double eyelid surgery, but as upper blepharoplasty.

Upper blepharoplasty is a middle-aged double eyelid surgery that improves age-related changes in the upper eyelids by removing sagging skin and muscle, and appropriately repositioning protruding fat while creating a clear double eyelid line.

As we age, natural aging progresses. Aging causes various bodily changes, and one of the most typical is a loss of skin and muscle elasticity. As muscle elasticity gradually decreases, the strength needed to open the eyes weakens, and to compensate for this, people start using their forehead to open their eyes, which also deepens forehead wrinkles.

Because aging causes many different changes, improvement is difficult with middle-aged double eyelid surgery alone. In such cases, it is better to perform ptosis correction, which strengthens the ability to open the eyes, together with upper blepharoplasty.

This is because it is not enough to simply create a double eyelid; the weakened functions caused by aging must also be corrected in order to get closer to the result the patient wants.

At Objeto, when consulting with patients who visit for middle-aged double eyelid surgery, we check the degree of eyelid sagging while also assessing whether the strength to open the eyes is weakened. Through this, we can suggest customized plastic surgery that fits each patient’s eyes.

Does upper blepharoplasty always require an incision?

Because incisional double eyelid surgery tends to leave swelling and bruising longer than non-incisional methods, many people ask whether an incision is absolutely necessary when undergoing middle-aged double eyelid surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty does not necessarily require an incision. Depending on the condition around the patient’s eyes, a non-incisional method may also be possible.

However, most middle-aged patients have a great deal of skin sagging due to aging. In such cases, it is difficult to improve drooping eyelids with a non-incisional double eyelid procedure. Even with a non-incisional method, the eyelid folds once as the double eyelid line forms, so some degree of sagging can be improved, but the effect is minimal.

That is why middle-aged double eyelid surgery may produce better results by using an incisional method to remove some of the excess, sagging skin.

What is important here is that there is no single correct answer between incisional and non-incisional methods for upper blepharoplasty. It is preferable to proceed according to each patient’s individual condition, so we recommend getting an accurate diagnosis through a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

People who inquire about middle-aged double eyelid surgery at Objeto Plastic Surgery come with very different concerns. Some say they are worried about eyes that look sleepy because the eyelids are gradually sagging, while others say they are concerned that their weakening ability to open their eyes makes them use their forehead, which has deepened forehead wrinkles.

Because the degree of eyelid sagging and the strength to open the eyes differ from patient to patient, during consultation we carefully assess each aspect of the eye area, make an accurate diagnosis, and recommend the surgery that is suitable for the patient. We do not only provide detailed consultations for middle-aged patients; we also check everything one by one during consultations with patients in their 20s and 30s and create a customized surgical plan.

Because of this, there are also many cases where children who had double eyelid surgery at Objeto Plastic Surgery contact us for their parents’ middle-aged double eyelid surgery, and each time that happens, we feel very grateful and proud that Objeto’s sincerity seems to have reached our patients.

Double eyelid surgery can be performed by anyone who has concerns about the eye area, regardless of age. At Objeto Plastic Surgery, we carefully diagnose each patient and recommend a customized surgical plan to improve their concerns.
