Middle-Age Eye Surgery: A Natural Youthful Eye Shape with Eyebrow Lift Surgery

If you keep hearing that you look tired even after a full night’s sleep, or if you feel yourself gradually aging when you look in the mirror, and if the wrinkles under your eyes and dark circles are getting worse,

now is the time to take an interest in middle-age eye surgery.

The eyes are one of the first areas of the face to show aging. In many cases, people visit a plastic surgery clinic because their eyelids have sagged. Among middle-age eye surgeries, the representative procedures for people with sagging eyelids are an eyebrow lift and upper blepharoplasty.

What is an eyebrow lift?

This is a procedure that improves wrinkles by making an incision below the eyebrow on the sagging eyelid and pulling the skin upward.

As aging begins, the skin around the eyes sags and wrinkles form. When the eyelids sag, the field of vision becomes narrower because of the drooping eyelids, so you tend to raise your eyes more often, which causes the forehead muscles to be used frequently.

This leads to forehead wrinkles and also causes functional discomfort around the eyes. At Gangnam W Plastic Surgery Clinic, we analyze the shape of the eyes and eyebrows to create natural results that suit each person’s image.

How is eyebrow lift surgery performed?

Eyebrow lift surgery has the advantage that the scar is not easily visible after the incision is made below the eyebrow.

Because the procedure removes skin by making an incision along the eyebrow line and then sutures it again under the eyebrow, it creates a naturally more youthful appearance.

However, if the distance between the eyes is narrow, a method may also be used in which an incision is made just above the eyebrow, skin and muscle are removed, and the area is fixed to the periosteum.

Who is eyebrow lift surgery good for?

At Gangnam W Plastic Surgery Clinic, we recommend eyebrow lift surgery for people like this.

1. People whose sagging eyelids poke their eyelashes
2. People whose sagging eyelids make their eye shape look heavy
3. People who feel functionally uncomfortable because the eyelids block their field of vision
4. People with many wrinkles due to sagging eyelids
5. People who want to keep their existing double eyelids while only improving sagging

So, after an eyebrow lift, what changes can you expect?

1. Improved field of vision The narrowed field of vision caused by loose eyelids becomes wider again.

2. Prevention of forehead wrinkles Because the sagging eyelids are removed, you do not need to raise your eyes, which can help prevent forehead wrinkles.

3. Improvement of eyelid wrinkles It is possible to correct the area without changing the existing eye shape, improving sagging eyelids and the surrounding wrinkles.

4. The scar is not easily visible There is less pain after surgery, and because the incision is covered by the eyebrow, the scar is an advantage in that it is hardly visible.
