If You Want to Restore Clear Eyes with Eyelid Drooping Lifting

Hello, this is Lee Seong-joon, head director of the Seoul branch of Reting Plastic Surgery.

The area where aging starts early on our face is the eyes.

Because the skin is thin and there are structural characteristics such as the brow depressor muscle, eyes that once looked clear can easily start to sag.

As wrinkles and drooping cause the eyelashes to poke into the eyes, vision may weaken and functional problems can also arise, making daily life uncomfortable.

That is why many middle-aged and older patients in their 40s and above inquire about eyelid drooping lifting.

If your eyelid-lifting strength has weakened and you have developed the habit of raising your forehead or brows to open your eyes, leading to forehead wrinkles and other issues, correction is needed.

How can eyelid drooping be improved?

Upper blepharoplasty and brow lift, both well known as eyelid drooping lifting procedures, are methods that lift the levator palpebrae superioris, which is the cause of eyelid drooping.

Upper blepharoplasty takes into account whether there is a double eyelid fold, while brow lift is performed with careful consideration of the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows.

In this way, the current condition of the patient's eyes is closely observed, the incision area is designed, and after removing sagging skin, fat, or orbicularis oculi muscle as needed, the levator muscle and skin are meticulously sutured.

As the eyelids droop, eyes that looked sleepy or heavy can become clearer, and issues such as eyelashes poking into the eyes or sagging eyelids rubbing the outer corners of the eyes can also be improved, leading to high satisfaction.

What changes with upper blepharoplasty and brow lift?

After removing sagging skin and, if necessary, fat, the muscles are pulled and fixed, naturally making the eyes look clearer.

In addition, upper blepharoplasty and brow lift strengthen eyelid-opening force through eyelid drooping lifting and also correct the shape of the eyes, helping improve the aged appearance.

Forehead wrinkles caused by raising the brows with the forehead are also improved, so both aesthetic and functional discomfort can be resolved.

Even if you are not necessarily middle-aged or older, if your eyelids sag earlier than other people’s or if your eyelids have started to droop due to skin aging, please consider upper blepharoplasty and brow lift.

Eyelid drooping lifting takes about 1 to 2 hours, and because it aims for the smallest possible incision, postoperative discomfort is minimal.

Also, since it is performed under sleep anesthesia, fear or anxiety about the surgery itself can be reduced.

The duration of the effect and the time it takes to look natural after surgery may vary from person to person, but postoperative discomfort usually disappears within 1 to 2 weeks, and the lifting effect lasts for about 5 years.

Our clinic has spent a long time focusing on lifting procedures and building expertise.

Above all, because we understand the needs of patients who hope for natural-looking changes, we carefully manage everything from consultation to aftercare.

We design the result so that it is neither excessive nor insufficient, allowing each person’s charm to remain intact.

The lifting know-how accumulated over 20 years is proven by the results, and many patients are satisfied.

Carefully through customized design

Even with the same sagging eyes, the incision line can differ depending on each person’s degree of skin sagging and eye shape.

Eyelid drooping lifting must be customized through sufficient consultation, detailed examination, and analysis.

Various situations are considered, such as whether there is a double eyelid fold, whether there is not, or whether the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide or narrow, and personalized design and treatment are carried out accordingly.
