Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery.

Because the eyes are the first area people look at when greeting someone,
a heavy, drooping eyelid can make you look tired and give a dark
impression.
Even if you were not born with drooping eyes,
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,
the skin loses elasticity,
and the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid also weakens,
causing it to sag downward.
As a result, interest has been growing in middle-aged eye surgery, as more people seek to improve age-related ptosis, which mainly occurs in middle and older adults, and achieve a clear, defined eye shape with more vitality.

To improve ptosis symptoms, where drooping eyelids make the eyes look tired, there are limits to what a typical double-eyelid surgery can achieve.
Simply creating a double-eyelid fold on the outer skin does not strengthen the power needed to open the eyes.
A typical middle-aged upper eyelid surgery ends with removing sagging skin and pulling the outer folds to create a double eyelid, but at Diva, we add a solution that strengthens the levator muscle, which is the root cause of eyelid drooping.
By removing the sagging skin at the same time,
we tighten the levator muscle inside the eyelid, the muscle that opens the eyes,
solving the fundamental problem of drooping eyelids and thereby significantly lowering the chance of recurrence.

The methods for middle-aged upper eyelid surgery can largely be divided into
incision and non-incision methods.
The incision method makes an incision in the eyelid skin, removes unnecessary skin, and lifts the drooping eyelid, while the non-incision method makes tiny openings in the eyelid, ties the inner muscle with sutures, and pulls it to strengthen the muscle that opens the eyes.
In this way, the appropriate method is chosen according to the patient’s degree of eyelid sagging and skin condition.
To apply the optimal solution suited to you, you need an accurate diagnosis from a specialist with extensive clinical experience in this surgery.
Also, not everyone with drooping eyelids needs upper eyelid surgery.
If you proceed with middle-aged eye surgery without careful consideration in an attempt to improve ptosis, you may experience complications from the surgery, so a careful decision is necessary.

Those who need middle-aged upper eyelid surgery are as follows.
If wrinkles around the eyes increase and the drooping eyelid condition persists for a long time,
there can be not only aesthetic concerns but also functional problems, such as eyelashes irritating the eye and causing discomfort in daily life,
sagging skin becoming irritated and inflamed,
and the effort to widen a narrowed field of vision by opening the eyes wide causing forehead wrinkles.
If you improve drooping eyelids, which cause various aesthetic and functional problems,
with an appropriate solution, you can create a naturally refreshed and younger-looking eye shape overall,
and you may also expect a wrinkle-prevention effect.

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