Considering Eyelid Surgery in Middle Age?

As a natural change that comes with aging, sagging eyelids and reduced elasticity around the eyes occur. These changes not only alter appearance, but can also interfere with vision or cause eye fatigue. In particular, they can make the face look tired or older.

Although the patterns and symptoms of aging in middle age vary from person to person, the eyes play an important role not only in facial impression but also in securing vision. So, it is necessary to consider not only aesthetic improvement but also functional improvement. To address problems such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and protruding fat that appear as aging progresses, upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and eyebrow lift can be considered.

Today, we would like to introduce middle-aged eyelid surgery in three main categories.

First, we will introduce the upper blepharoplasty method for middle-aged eyelid surgery at VN Plastic Surgery.

Before surgery, through a 1:1 consultation, the overall condition of the eyes and the degree of eyelid sagging are considered to determine the amount of wrinkles and tissue to be removed, and the double eyelid line is designed. After that, the stretched eyelid is excised from below the eyebrow and lifted upward. Then, the levator aponeurosis is connected to the skin and gently tightened before suturing.

Through this upper blepharoplasty, the sagging eyelids are improved, and both aesthetic and functional aspects are addressed so that a natural, youthful eye shape can be created.

Second, we will introduce the lower blepharoplasty method for middle-aged eyelid surgery at VN Plastic Surgery.

Before surgery, through a 1:1 consultation, the condition of the wrinkles under the eyes and the shape of the protruding fat are considered to determine the amount of fat and wrinkles to be repositioned, and the design is made. After that, an incision is made near the eyelashes, the bulging under-eye fat is repositioned to create a flatter contour, and then an appropriate amount of wrinkled, sagging skin under the eyes is removed before suturing.

Through this lower blepharoplasty, the sagging skin and wrinkles under the eyes are improved, helping create a brighter under-eye area and a more youthful eye shape.

Lastly, we will introduce the buried double eyelid + eyebrow lift method for middle-aged eyelid surgery at VN Plastic Surgery.

Before surgery, through a 1:1 consultation, the area below the eyebrow is designed while considering each person's height and shape. After that, to minimize scarring, an incision is made below the eyebrow to carefully remove the sagging skin of the eyelid, and then it is delicately sutured with fine thread. To create a buried double eyelid, 6 to 8 small grooves are made, and then fine thread is used to continuously secure them for firm adhesion.

Through this buried double eyelid + eyebrow lift procedure, natural adhesion between the skin and muscle is formed, helping transform sagging eyelids into a youthful, clear eye shape with a natural double eyelid line.
