Midlife Eyelid Surgery at a Plastic Surgery Clinic Should Take Overall Aging and Skin Condition into Consideration image 1

As the Opal Generation, born during the baby boom era, enters middle and older age, it is emerging as a key force in economic activity. With financial means, the Opal Generation does not spare investment in various areas for themselves, including health and beauty, and lives with passion comparable to that of younger people.

They are active not only in improving inner well-being, but also in restoring outward youthfulness. As a result, demand is increasing for midlife eye surgery, which can improve age-related changes such as wrinkles and sagging that make the face look older, as well as the resulting decline in physical function, all at once. Often referred to as a representative youthful-looking procedure, midlife eye surgery is an operation that improves the functional and aesthetic issues around the eyes caused by sagging skin, and includes upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, lower eyelid fat removal, and repositioning.

Drooping eyelids and senile ptosis symptoms can be improved through upper blepharoplasty. When the upper eyelids sag due to reduced skin elasticity, the force needed to open the eyes may become insufficient, which can worsen forehead wrinkles and expression lines. The eyelashes may also turn inward and poke the eye, interfering with vision. With upper blepharoplasty, sagging skin, fat, muscle, and subcutaneous fat are removed, and if the levator muscle is identified and connected to the skin, wrinkles and sagging caused by drooping eyelids can be improved while tightening the eye-opening muscle to help prevent recurrence.

Lower blepharoplasty, a surgery that improves sagging under the eyes, can address under-eye wrinkles and under-eye fat caused by sagging lower eyelids. Through an incision made below the eyelashes, sagging skin and fat under the eyes are removed, and the stretched skin is pulled tight and sutured at the outer corner of the eye to improve age-related changes under the eyes. Removing protruding fat under the eyes can produce the effect of dark circle surgery, and fixing stretched muscles to the fascia can also provide the effect of under-eye wrinkle removal surgery.

If aging or congenital factors have caused excess fat under the eyes, under-eye fat removal can brighten the area under the eyes. Bulging fat under the eyes can cause dark circles or deep wrinkles, making the area look dark and dull. By removing under-eye fat through an incision on the inner conjunctiva of the lower eyelid, the under-eye area can be made smoother and the overall impression brighter.

If there is too much or too little fat under the eyes, or if the fat under the eyes is bulging outward, under-eye fat repositioning can redistribute the fat appropriately. Through a minimal conjunctival incision on the inside of the eyelid, the fat is repositioned, the bulging fat is removed, and the aegyo-sal can be reconstructed to correct the eyes into a youthful and bright appearance.

Midlife eye surgery, which improves aging to achieve aesthetic and functional benefits, should establish the appropriate direction for improvement according to the overall degree of facial aging and create a natural youthful effect. Excessive correction can instead make the result feel awkward and artificial, so it is better to proceed with a customized surgery that takes the degree of aging and skin condition into account
