Don’t just read upper eyelid surgery reviews!
Dr. Kim Hyun-jo’s <Guide>

Hello.
This is Objet Plastic Surgery.
For those of you who are diligently searching for upper eyelid surgery reviews,
there is something we really want to tell you.
Reviews often include
before-and-after photos,
how long recovery took,
how much pain there was, and more.
They definitely contain information
that many people are curious about,
and they are certainly helpful as a reference.
But when we see people coming in for upper eyelid surgery consultations,
there are many cases where they feel unsure because of things
that are hard to find in reviews.
Whether upper eyelid surgery is a good fit for my eyelids,
what must be checked before surgery,
and what to pay attention to during recovery.
These are the kinds of details
that are not easy to find by looking only at upper eyelid surgery reviews.
So today, we want to clearly organize the information
that lies beyond the reviews.
From the standards you should check before surgery
to the actual flow of recovery,
we will guide you step by step,
so we hope this will be helpful if you read through to the end.
The <key factors> of upper eyelid surgery
that you cannot learn from reviews
Upper eyelid surgery is not simply
a procedure that creates a double eyelid line.

It is a procedure that appropriately removes sagging eyelid skin,
strengthens weakened eyelid-opening ability,
and creates a natural double eyelid line at the same time.
Because of this, if you look only at the result photos in upper eyelid surgery reviews
and think, “I can probably become like this too,”
you may miss an important point.
The most important factor that determines the result
is skin thickness.
The thinner the skin that will fold over the double eyelid line,
the more natural and refreshed the result tends to look after surgery.

On the other hand, if the skin is relatively thick,
the double eyelid may come out looking somewhat heavy.
The second thing to check
is eyelid-opening strength.
Even if you try to open your eyes as wide as possible,
if the upper part of the black pupil still looks greatly covered,
it may mean that the eyelid-opening strength itself
is weak.
In such cases, combining upper eyelid surgery
with eye-opening correction to reinforce eyelid-opening strength
tends to lead to a much more refreshed result.
The degree of sagging is also something you cannot overlook.
If the eyelid sagging is very severe,
or the eyebrows themselves have dropped a lot,
upper eyelid surgery alone may not be enough
to achieve sufficient improvement.

In such cases,
it is better to first undergo a brow lift or forehead lift
to relieve the sagging to some extent,
and then have upper eyelid surgery.
This creates a more natural result.
Some people also have a hollowed-out area above the eyes.
In that case, the hollow can also be improved by moving fat that has shifted inward
back forward,
and if the hollow is deep,
fat grafting may also be considered as an additional option.
This is precisely why the method differs depending on the eyelid condition,
even for the same upper eyelid surgery.
From pain to precautions!
<Complete Guide>
The surgery is performed using local anesthesia and sedation together.

Because of the nature of upper eyelid surgery,
you need to open and close your eyes from time to time during the procedure
to directly check the line,
so sedation is applied only as much as needed.
The procedure time varies depending on the method,
but it usually takes about one to two hours.
Right after surgery,
swelling and bruising may occur.

You may take a light walk starting on the day of surgery,
and we recommend waiting until one month later
before lifting heavy objects or doing exercise intense enough to leave you out of breath.
You can wear glasses immediately after surgery,
but contact lenses should be worn again only after the swelling has completely subsided
and there is no discomfort in the eyes.

After about one month,
the swelling has largely gone down,
and the overall shape begins to settle,
and between two and three months,
you can see a completely natural appearance.
Some of you may have felt,
while reading upper eyelid surgery reviews,
that “recovery takes a long time,”
but
actual return to daily life is relatively quick,
so there is no need to worry too much.
Today, for those of you looking for upper eyelid surgery reviews,
we organized the information you must look at
beyond the reviews.
Skin thickness, which determines the surgical result,
the condition of eyelid-opening strength,
the degree of sagging and the appropriate method based on it.
If you first understand these three criteria
and then go into a consultation,
you will be able to judge much more clearly
what kind of information you should hear and where.

Dr. Kim Hyun-jo of Objet Plastic Surgery
carefully examines the eyelid condition,
which changes with age,
and considers it most important to design the method that fits each eye.
Even for older patients,
he is highly trusted for calm and attentive care
that feels comfortable and not burdensome.
We recommend consulting carefully at several places,
but please be sure to look at the criteria you confirmed today as well.
