[Rari Plastic Surgery] Can incision eyelid correction improve a sunken upper eyelid?! (+ lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery)

This is a person who had never had plastic surgery before.

They had a natural double eyelid, so they had not particularly considered eye surgery.

However, as they got older, their eyes began to look more tired and sleepy, so they came in for a consultation.

There was nothing especially small or abnormal about the eyes,

but they definitely looked sleepy and somewhat unopened,

and there was also a visible sagging of the lower eyelid fat.

After the consultation, incision eyelid correction surgery and lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery were performed according to the diagnosed condition.

Since the patient often wore makeup and did not want the existing line lowered or removed,

we performed the eyelid correction while preserving the original line.

We removed the sagging skin and strengthened the power of the muscles that open the eyes

so that the half-open, sleepy-looking eyes could open clearly.

In most cases, when eyelid correction surgery is performed while keeping the line thick,

there are many cases where the correction is not clearly achieved.

So the surgery was done without insisting on raising the line,

and kept it at about the previous height.

Because eyes that become too round can feel burdensome,

we adjusted the eye opening so that the eyes would not open too dramatically,

improving the sleepy impression without making it excessive.

Before surgery, the eyes were not opening fully, but the sunken upper eyelid was also noticeable.

Usually, this kind of sunken upper eyelid is corrected together through upper eyelid fat grafting.

However, this patient did not want the eyelids to feel too heavy or thick.

So during the incision eyelid correction surgery, while strengthening the muscles that open the eyes,

we loosened and repositioned the fat outside the septum,

which improved the sunken appearance of the eyelid to some extent.

(If you want complete correction of sunken eyelids, loop fat grafting is absolutely necessary ^^)

In addition, with the lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery performed together,

we also removed the protruding fat layer under the eyes that looked like dark circles,

changing the tired and worn-out, hollow-looking impression

into a smoother, cleaner, and clearer impression.

If the double eyelid line is preserved, the double eyelids can sometimes look like a sausage for a long time,

but three months after surgery, the line is not thinner than before,

yet it looks natural without the thick, puffy feeling of sausage-like double eyelids.

When the eyes are closed, the scars have healed well and are not very noticeable,

and there is no issue of the eyes not closing properly, which people often worry about after eyelid correction surgery.

There are occasionally people whose eyes do not close fully for 1 to 3 months after surgery,

but compared with those cases, this person recovered quickly.
