[Diva Plastic Surgery] Eyelid Surgery for Middle Age, Firmly Lifts Drooping Eyelids!

Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery.

The eyes are the area that people look at first when greeting someone, so drooping eyes can make you look tired and give a dark impression. Even if your eyes were not naturally drooping, everyone inevitably experiences signs of aging. Signs of aging begin in the late 20s and accelerate rapidly in the late 30s. In particular, the skin of the eyelids is thinner and more delicate than other areas, so when signs of aging appear, skin elasticity decreases and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid also weakens, causing it to sag downward.

As a result, middle-aged and older patients seeking improvement of age-related ptosis and a clearer, more defined eye shape have been increasing, and eyelid surgery for middle age has been drawing attention.

To improve ptosis, which makes the eyes look tired because the eyelids droop, a standard double-eyelid surgery had certain limitations. Simply creating a double-eyelid line on the outer skin does not strengthen the power to open the eyes. A typical upper blepharoplasty for middle-aged patients used to end with removing sagging skin and pulling the outer folds to create a double eyelid, but at Diva, we added a solution that strengthens the levator aponeurosis, the root cause of eyelid drooping. By removing the sagging skin and at the same time tightening the levator muscle, which is the muscle deep inside the skin that opens the eyes, we address the fundamental problem of drooping eyelids and significantly reduce the possibility of recurrence.

The methods of upper blepharoplasty for middle-aged eyelid surgery can largely be divided into the incision method and the non-incision method. The incision method makes an incision in the eyelid skin, removes unnecessary skin, and lifts the drooping eyelid, while the non-incision method strengthens the muscle that opens the eyes by making tiny holes in the eyelid, tying the inner muscle with sutures, and pulling it upward.

In this way, the appropriate method is determined according to the patient’s degree of eyelid drooping and skin condition. For this, you must receive an accurate diagnosis from a specialist with extensive clinical experience in the procedure in order to apply the optimal solution suitable for you.

​Also, not everyone needs upper blepharoplasty just because eyelid drooping has occurred. If you proceed with middle-aged eyelid surgery without careful consideration in order to improve ptosis, you may experience side effects from the surgery, so a cautious decision is necessary.

Those who need upper blepharoplasty for middle-aged eyelid surgery are as shown above. If wrinkles around the eyes increase and the drooping eyelid condition continues for a long time, it can cause not only an aesthetic problem but also functional problems such as the eyelashes poking the eyes and making daily life inconvenient, sagging skin becoming irritated and causing inflammation, and forehead wrinkles developing as you try to open your eyes wider to expand your narrowed field of vision. If drooping eyelids that cause various aesthetic and functional problems are improved with the appropriate solution, you can achieve a more natural and youthful eye shape overall, and wrinkle-prevention effects can also be expected.

If the degree of eyelid drooping is not severe and you can achieve a youthful effect simply by creating a suitable double-eyelid line on the outer skin, we recommend double-eyelid surgery rather than middle-aged eyelid surgery. There are also various methods for double-eyelid surgery.
