Addressing Aging of the Upper Eyelids with Upper Blepharoplasty

<Actual upper blepharoplasty case at DM Plastic Surgery>

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

As the skin around the eyes begins to sag with age, it may obstruct the field of vision and create a tired or gloomy appearance.

The outer corners of the eyes may also become irritated when the sagging skin rubs against itself.

Because sagging eyelids interfere with vision, people may unconsciously open their eyes wider, which can deepen wrinkles on the forehead as well.

We understand that these uncomfortable changes may be a significant source of concern.

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

DM Plastic Surgery’s minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty is designed to correct sagging eyelids, which can cause various problems.

Rather than simply removing skin, this technique minimizes the incision on the thin eyelid skin and tightens and secures the upper eyelid levator muscle. This helps minimize the development of thick, uneven-looking double eyelid folds.

The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and contains a high concentration of blood vessels, so skilled technique and experience are required.

To achieve satisfactory results, the procedure should be performed by a specialist with extensive clinical experience.

What makes DM’s upper blepharoplasty different?

At DM Plastic Surgery, minimal excision can remove wrinkles and create a more youthful-looking eye area. It may also help prevent future wrinkles and maintain eyelid elasticity.

In addition, an in-depth consultation with the medical team allows for a customized design tailored to each individual, helping achieve clear improvements and a high level of satisfaction. Let’s take a closer look at minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty!

What is minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty?

DM Plastic Surgery’s “minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty” is a procedure performed when aging causes the eyelid skin to stretch and sag, making the eyes appear smaller and creating a heavy or stuffy appearance, as described above.

At DM Plastic Surgery, the sagging eyelid skin is minimally excised and lifted to address aging around the forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids, creating a clear and defined eye contour. ❤

By removing unnecessary tissue that has become elongated due to eyelid sagging through minimal-excision upper blepharoplasty, you can add vitality to the eye area and improve both your appearance and functional discomfort.

DM is different!

A method that simply removes a wide area of skin and pulls the outer wrinkles to create a double eyelid fold may have a higher likelihood of recurrence!

At our clinic, we minimize scarring by performing minimal excision. We also tighten and secure the upper eyelid levator muscle to help prevent recurrence.

After a thorough consultation with an experienced specialist, the degree of eyelid sagging is assessed and a one-on-one customized procedure is performed.

Through minimal excision, unnecessary fat is removed, and the upper eyelid levator muscle is tightened and sutured, improving the eyes into a more open and defined shape.

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

What is the upper eyelid levator muscle?

When explaining the surgical method above, we used the term “upper eyelid levator muscle.” What is it?

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

During surgery, DM Plastic Surgery tightens and secures the upper eyelid levator muscle to help prevent recurrence.

Eyelid sagging 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.

It may also help prevent future wrinkles, while tightening the upper eyelid levator muscle to firm up the sagging eyelids.

DM Plastic Surgery has earned high satisfaction from many patients through a surgical method incorporating the expertise of plastic surgery specialists with extensive clinical experience.

DM Plastic Surgery Minimal-Excision Upper Blepharoplasty Before & After

[Actual upper blepharoplasty case at DM Plastic Surgery]

The patient had undergone upper blepharoplasty at another clinic several years earlier, but the double eyelid fold loosened and the eyelids began to sag again.

The patient visited DM Plastic Surgery to improve the appearance of the eyes.

This photo was taken one month after upper blepharoplasty at DM Plastic Surgery.

After a thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience, a customized plan was established based on factors including the cause of the previous procedure’s unsatisfactory result, and the procedure was performed.

The photo above shows that the previously lax eye area has become tighter and that sagging has improved. The obstructed field of vision has also improved, creating a more open appearance and a more youthful-looking image.
