Hello.

I’m Lim Young-soo, the head doctor at Troy Plastic Surgery, where I provide eye surgery consultations in Mok-dong.

“我的 eyes have started to droop. Would it be enough to do double eyelid surgery again?”

“Is upper blepharoplasty the right choice, or is a brow lift better?”

These are the questions I hear most often in consultations for drooping eyes in Mok-dong.

However, these three surgeries have different purposes. What matters is not the “name of the surgery,” but the cause and location of the drooping.

Eyelid drooping can be broadly divided into three types.

• Skin laxity

• Weakness in eye-opening strength

• Lowered eyebrow position

If these three are not distinguished, unwanted results can occur.

1. Cases where double eyelid surgery is the 기준

• When the eyelid skin is only mildly stretched

• When the existing fold has loosened

• When eye-opening strength is normal

In these cases, the drooping can be somewhat improved while refining the double eyelid line.

However, if the skin is significantly stretched, simple double eyelid surgery alone will not solve the problem.

2. Cases where upper blepharoplasty is needed

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that directly removes sagging skin.

• When the eyelid obstructs the field of vision

• When eyelashes are poking the eye

• When multiple layers of wrinkles have formed

It is often considered by middle-aged and older adults.

The goal is not to create a double eyelid, but to improve function first.

3. Cases where a brow lift is the 기준

This method lifts sagging skin upward through an incision under the eyebrow.

• When the patient wants to preserve the existing double eyelid fold

• When the eyebrows have descended

• When the skin over the upper eyelid is heavily covering the lid

It is considered by people who want minimal changes to the shape of the eyes and prefer a more natural improvement.

2. Key differences among the three surgeries

What I look at first in consultations for drooping eyes in Mok-dong is

• Skin thickness

• Eyebrow position

• Eyelid-opening muscle function

• The condition of the existing double eyelid fold

The choice of surgery is not based on “which is better,” but on where the drooping is occurring.

3. Problems that can occur if the wrong procedure is chosen

• When only double eyelid surgery is done, but the eyes look even heavier

• When the impression changes too much after upper blepharoplasty

• When the line looks unnatural after a brow lift

If the cause is not analyzed accurately, revision surgery may be needed.

4. Q&A

Q. If my eyes are drooping, does that mean I definitely need upper blepharoplasty?

A. No. It depends on where the skin is sagging.

Q. Does a brow lift leave scars?

A. Since it is placed along the eyebrow border, it is relatively less noticeable.

Q. Can double eyelid revision surgery also improve it?

A. Yes, depending on the degree of drooping.

Doctor’s note Drooping eyes are not a line problem, but a structural problem.

5. Summary

Drooping eyes, double eyelid surgery, upper blepharoplasty, brow lift

For improving drooping eyes in Mok-dong,

• If the skin is stretched → upper blepharoplasty

• If the eyebrows have lowered → brow lift

• If the main issue is the fold line → double eyelid surgery

This is the basic direction.

What matters most is not the name of the surgery, but an analysis of the current eye structure.
