Why does my face in a photo feel so awkward and unfamiliar?

1️⃣ A reversed left-right image

2️⃣ It looks flat

3️⃣ Light and shadow are frozen

Flat photos with less depth also freeze light and shadow in an instant, so they can look even more unfamiliar and odd

In the worst case, it can even create an image that is cursed forever😥

When the overall structure of the face sags due to aging, it appears in various ways on the face.

The eye area, which moves a lot and has thin skin, is one of the first areas where aging is especially noticeable.

When sagging begins first, the original double eyelid can become hidden, the volume of the eyelids decreases, creating multiple creases, and the muscles used to open the eyes weaken, causing the forehead to work harder and the field of vision to become blocked, which leads to discomfort.

If you are considering midlife plastic surgery because of eye aging, but can only do one of the two first—upper blepharoplasty or lower blepharoplasty— which one should you do first?

If we assume the degree of sagging in the upper and lower areas is similar, improving the lower eye area first can have a greater rejuvenating effect because skin sagging and under-eye fat are improved overall.

However, it can vary depending on each person’s degree of sagging and their level of discomfort. If the eyelids and eyelid area sag so much that the eyes feel heavy and irritated, it is better to improve the upper area first for functional improvement!

There are many types of midlife procedures for addressing eye aging, but because the signs of aging appear in diverse and complex ways, a combination of more than one procedure often works better.

Upper blepharoplasty

Forehead lift + upper blepharoplasty

Forehead lift + fat grafting to the upper eye area

Brow lift

. . .

Depending on how the signs of aging appear, and which areas you want to improve most, the surgical method should be applied differently.
