Thoughts on Midlife Eye Surgery... Upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty

I’m Kim Jong-myeong, director of Diva Plastic Surgery.

� Today, I’m organizing my thoughts on midlife eye surgery.

Upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and even dark circles...

The eyes are where people’s gaze lingers the longest, so they become the 기준 point for the overall impression.

� Especially as people age, the loss of skin elasticity brings various changes around the eyes.

The eyelid skin, which is thin, moves incredibly quickly countless times a day, and through this process fatigue accumulates, leading to sagging skin.

In addition, weakness in the eyelid muscles can cause ptosis, in which the forehead is used to open the eyes. As the eyelids keep drooping, the field of vision narrows, eyelashes may irritate the eyes, tears may form, and the skin can become chafed.

� ◆ Upper Blepharoplasty Upper blepharoplasty removes sagging upper eyelid skin and protruding fat, and reconnects the levator muscle and the skin to restore a clearer, more refreshed eye appearance.

“Rather than simply removing tissue, we carefully identify where the sagging is more pronounced and correct it accordingly, so along with the treatment effect, a more youthful impression can also be expected.”

When the upper eyelid is deeply sunken, it can make a person look extremely tired and hollow. As the fat in the eyelid decreases with aging and the area becomes hollow, carefully grafting fat according to the degree of the hollowing can also create a natural eye appearance.

Director Kim Jong-myeong said, “Because the patient’s own fat is harvested and grafted, the risk of side effects is lower than with fillers, and because the survival rate is high, the effects can last for a long time.”

� ◆ Lower Blepharoplasty If the fat under the eyes bulges unevenly and there are wrinkles, applying eye cream is somewhat insufficient as a way to get rid of under-eye wrinkles.

Lower blepharoplasty is a method that removes excessive under-eye fat, removes sagging skin, pulls up the loosened muscles, and firmly fixes them to the fascia.

It is known to smooth out the uneven under-eye skin while also improving skin wrinkles.

� ◆ Lower Blepharoplasty + Lateral Canthopexy “Excessive muscle resection or extending the incision line toward the inside of the eye increases the possibility of nerve damage, which can lead to ectropion, where the eyelid turns outward.” “If lower blepharoplasty is performed together with lateral canthopexy and the sagging skin tissue and muscles around the eyes are firmly fixed to the periosteum, it can help reduce the possibility of side effects while also improving severe under-eye sagging that is difficult to correct with lower blepharoplasty alone. A combined procedure like this can also provide relatively quick improvement.”

� ◆ Dark Circle Improvement When excessive under-eye fat accumulates, it can cause dark circles, making the overall impression look dull and older.

If the issue is simply loose fat, it can be corrected relatively easily through under-eye fat removal. If the fat bulges and the tear trough is deeply sunken, under-eye fat repositioning can be used for correction, and dark circles may also be improved at the same time.

“Because midlife eye surgery procedures such as upper and lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning are performed around the eyes, where the skin is thin and sensitive, the difficulty level is high, making the surgeon’s skill and know-how important.” “Rather than focusing only on price, it is important to carefully review actual clinical case results and increase the effectiveness of treatment and satisfaction by choosing a clinic that provides 1:1 customized surgery suited to you.”
