If You’re Looking for Surgery for Sleepy Eyes

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, the chief director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.

Aging is one of the most natural phenomena, so natural that it can be called the way of nature.

As soon as you pass your mid-20s, aging begins to progress and causes various changes in the body.

In particular, the skin around the eyes is thin and is also affected by movement, so it easily sags as you get older.

Since the eye shape is an important factor that determines one’s impression, it has a major impact on the overall image, and many people also express concerns about it.

As the eye muscles weaken and the skin sags, the eyes lose their vitality and begin to look sleepy and heavy, which is why many people look for surgery for sleepy eyes.

What Is Sagging Eye Lift Surgery?

One of the methods sought by those with many concerns about their eye shape is sagging eye lift surgery.

This refers to a method that improves the eyes into a brighter and more defined shape by removing sagging skin and tightening and fixing the muscles.

If necessary, fat removal can also be performed to help create a sharper impression.

At our clinic, this type of surgery for sleepy eyes is divided into upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, and lower blepharoplasty, and is performed according to each person’s needs and skin condition.

What Are Upper Blepharoplasty/Brow Lift?

Upper blepharoplasty and brow lift surgery are methods that improve the cause of drooping eyelids by pulling up the levator muscle of the upper eyelid.

After carefully observing the current condition, an incision line is designed, and based on that, sagging skin, fat, and the orbicularis oculi muscle are removed.

Afterward, the levator muscle and skin are delicately sutured.

It is one of the surgeries with a high satisfaction rate because it is performed while considering all factors such as whether there is a double eyelid, the degree of sagging, and the distance between the eyes and eyebrows.

It is suitable not only for sleepy eye surgery, but also when eyelashes poke the eyes or when the corners of the eyes become irritated because the eyelids sag.

What Is Lower Blepharoplasty?

Among sagging eye lift procedures, lower blepharoplasty is the method for the area under the eyes.

It is suitable for cases where the skin around the eyes has sagged, as well as when the lower fat pockets sag and the under-eye area becomes uneven.

An incision line suited to each person’s eye shape is designed, and the sagging muscle and loose skin are removed.

If the under-eye area is bulging, fat repositioning under the eyes can also be performed to help improve an aged appearance.

A fine incision is made on the inner conjunctiva of the eye to remove and reposition some of the fat, and the loose skin is removed to create a more defined eye shape.

At our clinic, we place importance on a design that preserves the three-dimensional appearance and shape of the under-eye area.

Accordingly, you can expect both natural improvement and a more youthful look.

What Is the Recovery Period for Sagging Eye Lift Surgery?

This type of surgery for sagging eyes is completed in about 1 to 2 hours, and because we aim for as small an incision as possible, the pain is relatively mild.

Since it is performed under sedation anesthesia, you can also reduce your fear of surgery.

The recovery period and how long the results last vary from person to person depending on individual physical conditions, but on average, recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks, and the effect lasts about 5 years, making it a surgery that many people are satisfied with.
