Midlife Eye Surgery: The Key Point More Important Than the Double Eyelid Line Is Under-Eye Fat Repositioning image 1

Compared with people in their 20s and 30s who decide to undergo plastic surgery to upgrade their appearance,

more and more middle-aged people are considering eye surgery to improve the changes in their appearance caused by aging, which happen day by day.

When it comes to midlife plastic surgery, you may think wrinkles should come first.

However, rather than deep forehead lines, nasolabial folds, or fine wrinkles spreading across the face, it is the changes around the eyes that make the face look older.

That is why many middle-aged people who are considering plastic surgery show considerable interest in this area.

Midlife plastic surgery: Eye surgery is more popular than wrinkle surgery ... Why?

The eyes and the surrounding skin, which make up about 80% of a first impression, are very thin and highly mobile areas.

Because of this, wrinkles form more easily and stand out more, clearly revealing the progress of aging without any filtering.

However, there are many points to be careful about when it comes to midlife eye surgery.

If midlife eye surgery is performed using the same standards as for younger people,

after surgery the eye shape may look sharper or harsher,

or problems such as worsened dry eye may occur.

Therefore, if you want a clean impression while creating a double eyelid line that suits your current face best, is not burdensome, and looks natural,

it is better to focus on resolving functional issues and to thoroughly analyze individual differences before proceeding with upper eyelid surgery.

And there is one more thing to keep in mind.

Midlife eye surgery: Lower eyelid surgery is as important as upper eyelid surgery

That is the improvement of the lower eyelid, the area under the eyes.

As you get older, not only do the eyelids droop to the point of covering the eyes,

but the fat under the eyes also begins to change.

Day by day, it becomes bumpy and protrudes more, and in many cases dark circles also become more severe.

If these symptoms are left untreated, not only will you look older than your actual age,

but you may also appear dull, tired, and in severe cases, even look irritable, so correction is needed.

Therefore, in midlife eye surgery, the more important point than the double eyelid line may be under-eye fat repositioning.

If the area under the eyes is sagging and the tear trough is shallow, simple lower eyelid surgery alone can provide a satisfactory correction effect,

but if the under-eye area looks shadowed and dark because of protruding fat without skin sagging,

under-eye fat repositioning through a conjunctival incision is needed to create a younger-looking and brighter impression.

If the lower eyelid sagging is severe and the under-eye fat appears prominently bulging,

lower eyelid surgery that repositions the under-eye fat below the tear trough and lifts the sagging tissue of the midface is necessary.

Lower eyelid surgery, under-eye fat repositioning: In what cases is it more effective?

People who usually have severe under-eye wrinkles and want to remove under-eye wrinkles

People whose concern is that bulging under-eye fat makes the under-eye area look shadowed

People looking for a way to remove dark circles because severe dark circles make them look tired

People whose severe under-eye skin sagging makes them look older

People who have lost the youthful fullness under the eyes due to aging

People concerned about various aging changes that have appeared under the eyes

If you have the concerns above, it is wise to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon,

carefully receive a consultation, and proceed with surgery after fully considering the current condition of the lower eyelids,

the condition of the eyelid skin, the degree of under-eye fat protrusion, how shadowed the area looks,

and your own needs.

What should you pay close attention to during eye surgery consultation?

Lower eyelid surgery pulls up the under-eye area that has sagged due to aging and has the effect of removing fine under-eye wrinkles.

With the effects of under-eye fat removal and under-eye fat repositioning,

it completes a more elastic under-eye area, so dark circles are reduced and you can enjoy the effect of dark-circle surgery at the same time, making the eye area brighter and clearer.

In addition, lower eyelid surgery such as under-eye fat repositioning is performed after designing the shape of the under-eye area to create an ideal eye shape while considering each person's facial characteristics,

so it can also create the effect of adding youthful fullness under the eyes, transforming you into a more youthful-looking face.

Some hospitals provide a fast recovery period by minimizing incisions so that scars are almost nonexistent,

allowing you to be free from swelling, pain, and similar issues, so it may be helpful to look into this carefully.
