3 Types of Surgery for Drooping, Sleepy-Looking Eyelids <3>

Organized by Director Park Si-hyun!

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery.

If every time you look in the mirror

your eyes seem heavier and heavier,

and in photos you always appear tired,

it may not simply be because you are not getting enough sleep.

As we age,

the upper eyelids gradually droop downward

and begin to slightly cover the eyes,

creating a sleepy-looking impression.

But even if eyes look sleepy in the same way,

the cause can be quite different from person to person.

For some people,

only the upper eyelid skin becomes loose,

while for others,

the eyebrows themselves droop as well,

making the face look heavier.

In some cases,

the forehead also feels heavy,

and the forehead muscles are used every time the eyes are opened.

So today,

we will compare the three eyelid drooping surgeries performed at Obje Plastic Surgery,

one by one.

If the upper eyelid covers the eye?

"Upper Blepharoplasty"

The first method that comes to mind among eyelid drooping surgeries

is "upper blepharoplasty."

As you age,

when the upper eyelid skin stretches out,

the skin hangs over the double-eyelid line

and covers part of the eye.

When this happens,

the eyes feel heavy,

and others also see you as having a sleepy expression.

Upper blepharoplasty

is a method that directly removes and tidies up this stretched upper eyelid skin.

Along the double-eyelid line,

the loose skin is excised,

and if necessary,

a small amount of the fat or muscle underneath is also refined to finish the procedure.

During this process,

if you want, the faded double eyelid can also be reshaped clearly again.

Because the skin is directly removed,

among the various eyelid drooping surgeries,

the change in facial impression is relatively easy to notice.

However, being too ambitious

by making the double-eyelid line excessively large

or asking to have a specific celebrity's eyes copied exactly

can instead make the impression feel heavy.

The most important part is to design it accurately

according to the position of your eyes,

the thickness of your skin,

and the strength you use to open your eyes.

Lightly, without changing the double eyelid!

"Brow Lift"

Some people may feel burdened even by the change in the double-eyelid line itself.

For those cases,

the suitable option is a "brow lift."

As the name suggests,

this method lifts the sagging skin from just below the eyebrow.

A thin incision is made along the line under the eyebrow,

and the lowered skin is gently pulled upward and adjusted.

Because the double-eyelid line is not touched at all,

you can keep your original eye shape

while making the upper eyelid look much lighter.

It is especially suitable for people whose double eyelids are gradually becoming smaller or almost invisible,

and for those who want subtle changes with almost no visible signs of surgery.

Although it is also an eyelid drooping surgery,

the approach itself is different from upper blepharoplasty.

If upper blepharoplasty gives a result closer to a more defined impression,

then a brow lift gives a result closer to naturalness.

If the eyebrows and forehead have also become heavy?

"Forehead Lift"

The two methods discussed so far

focus on the skin around the eyes.

However, if you look in the mirror

and your eyebrows themselves are sitting low,

and the forehead skin also looks heavy,

the situation is a little different.

For these people,

just tidying up the upper eyelids alone can easily lead to a heavy impression again after some time.

That is because the real cause is the eyebrows and forehead drooping together.

In that case,

the appropriate option is a "forehead lift."

It is a method that lifts the entire forehead and eyebrows upward and fixes them in place.

When using an endoscope,

the procedure can be done with only small incisions inside the hairline,

so the incision area is relatively less noticeable.

The biggest feature of a forehead lift

is that it can improve not only the eyelids,

but also forehead wrinkles and the expression lines between the eyebrows.

It also helps people who used to

tense their forehead muscles every time they opened their eyes,

or who developed forehead wrinkles every time they blinked,

open their eyes more comfortably.

Because it changes the overall impression of the upper face,

it can also help improve the sleepy-looking appearance.

At this point,

you may notice one common message.

Even with the same concern about sleepy-looking eyes,

the direction you should choose changes completely

depending on where the heaviness starts.

If the upper eyelid skin is sagging

and you want to tidy up the double eyelid too,

→ "Upper Blepharoplasty"

If you do not want any change to the double eyelid

and only want a subtle change,

→ "Brow Lift"

If the eyebrows and forehead have also dropped together

and the entire upper face looks stuffy,

→ "Forehead Lift"

Even if the visible impression looks similar,

if the cause is different,

the solution direction must also be different.

That is why accurately identifying this difference

becomes just as important a step as the surgery itself.

Director Park Si-hyun at Obje Plastic Surgery

pays the closest attention to exactly this part.

The thickness of the upper eyelid skin,

the position of the eyebrows,

and even the habit of using the forehead

are all checked together one by one,

and then the most suitable direction among upper blepharoplasty,

brow lift, and forehead lift

is determined based on your current eye condition.

All three eyelid drooping surgeries can be performed at Obje,

so rather than forcing a fit for just one specific method,

we can adjust things so the most natural flow appears within your own face.

If the eyes in the mirror have looked heavy for a long time,

please first take a calm look at whether the upper eyelids have drooped,

whether the eyebrows have also dropped,

or whether the forehead has come down as well.

This has been Obje Plastic Surgery.

Thank you.
