Upper Blepharoplasty: Middle-Aged Eyelid Surgery to Improve Drooping Eyes

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery Clinic upper blepharoplasty case>

Aging is a natural process, but it can also cause various inconveniences.

As the skin around the eyes sags with age, it can obstruct the field of vision and create a gloomy appearance.

The skin at the outer corners of the eyes may also become irritated when the folds of sagging skin rub against each other.

When drooping eyelids interfere with vision, people may unconsciously raise their eyes, which can deepen forehead wrinkles as well.

We understand that these uncomfortable changes may be causing you more than a few concerns. ㅠㅠ

The signs of aging mentioned above can be improved through a procedure called upper blepharoplasty.

To correct drooping eyelids that can cause various problems,

DM Plastic Surgery Clinic’s minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty is not simply a method of removing skin. It minimizes the incision on the thin skin of the eyelid and tightens and fixes the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to minimize the possibility of creating a thick, uneven-looking eyelid crease.

The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and contains many blood vessels, so the procedure requires advanced skill and expertise.

For a satisfactory result, surgery should be performed by a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

as mentioned above, a procedure performed when aging causes the eyelid skin to stretch and sag, making the eyes appear smaller and giving them a heavy appearance.

DM is different!

A method that simply removes skin over a wide area, pulls the external wrinkles, and creates an eyelid crease can have a higher likelihood of recurrence!

At our clinic, we minimize scarring through minimal excision and also lift and tighten the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to help prevent recurrence.

After a sufficient consultation with an experienced specialist, the degree of eyelid drooping is assessed and a customized 1:1 procedure is performed.

Through minimal excision, unnecessary fat is removed from the drooping eyelids, and the levator palpebrae superioris muscle is tightened and sutured to create a more open and defined appearance.

The reduced concern about scarring through minimal excision, along with the high satisfaction resulting from our expertise, is why there are many introductions and reviews of DM Plastic Surgery Clinic’s upper blepharoplasty.

What is the levator palpebrae superioris muscle?

We previously mentioned the levator palpebrae superioris muscle when explaining the surgical method. What exactly is it?

The levator palpebrae superioris muscle originates around the optic canal, passes through the orbit, and connects with the skin of the upper eyelid and the tarsal plate. It functions to lift the upper eyelid.

During surgery, DM Plastic Surgery Clinic tightens and fixes the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to help prevent recurrence.

Eyelid drooping caused by aging can be addressed!

Upper blepharoplasty creates a more youthful-looking eye area by minimally excising wrinkles caused by sagging around the eyes.
