Can Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Be Done at the Same Time?

Many people are looking into upper eyelid and lower eyelid surgery because of wrinkles and sagging caused by aging.

In particular, the skin around the eyes is thin and the muscles are used frequently, so sagging and wrinkles can develop easily. Because of this, these symptoms such as sagging and wrinkles can be more noticeable in older adults. Since upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery are procedures that improve age-related changes, they are often sought by people in middle age, and those who feel burdened by having surgery in separate stages often want to have both done at the same time.

Here, we will look at what upper eyelid and lower eyelid surgery are, what effects you can expect after surgery, and whether they can be performed at the same time.

Upper eyelid surgery removes sagging upper eyelids caused by aging and excess fat tissue, and corrects them by tightening the muscles. Lower eyelid surgery repositions protruding fat under the eyes and tightens and secures loosened muscles and skin. Our VN middle-aged eye plastic surgery carefully diagnoses the speed of aging progression, and through upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery, helps symptoms improve naturally without changing the overall impression.

In this way, upper eyelid surgery

improves functional problems such as vision being blocked or eyelashes poking the eyes, and fixes the eyelid line, which can create an eye shape that looks younger than before. In addition, lower eyelid surgery can improve the tired-looking impression caused by sagging skin under the eyes and create a clearer eye shape. Our VN Plastic Surgery Clinic examines both these functional problems and aesthetic concerns, and performs surgery suited to the patient's condition.

Next, let’s look at whether upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery can be performed at the same time. Upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery, if performed separately, may instead cause facial imbalance,

so

performing them together can create a more natural eye shape. For a more natural and harmonious eye appearance, it is better to perform upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery at the same time. In addition, when performing upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery, a comprehensive analysis of several factors is necessary, including the degree of eyelid sagging,

the amount of fat around the eyes,

the degree of loose skin,

the shape of the eyes,

and the condition of the muscles around the eyes.

Our VN Middle-Aged Eye Plastic Surgery considers these various factors together, and through customized design and surgery based on each patient's eye condition, you can achieve both a natural change in appearance and improvement of functional problems such as visual obstruction.
