Upper Blepharoplasty
from 1,100,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
This is an eyelid procedure for middle-aged patients that addresses sagging upper eyelids caused by aging. The design is planned based on the degree and cause of ptosis. After making an incision in the skin, excess skin and fat are removed, and the eyelid is connected to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and sutured to improve the visual field and eye contour. For mild sagging, a non-incisional upper eyelid procedure may also be possible.
Surgery Overview
This is an eye procedure for middle-aged patients that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids loosened by aging and elevates the muscles to create clearer, more defined eyes. It can also improve functional issues such as restricted vision caused by drooping eyelids and contact dermatitis. For mild drooping, a non-incisional upper eyelid procedure is also possible.
Addressing cosmetic and functional concerns at the same time Like the younger version of yourself from 10 years ago
Recommended for
· Those whose drooping eyelids make their eyes look smaller and make them appear tired · Those whose eyelids press down on the outer corners of their eyes, causing restricted vision · Those who develop contact dermatitis due to drooping eyelids · Those with mild drooping who are concerned about an incision (non-incisional upper eyelid procedure)
Eye procedures for middle-aged patients require a different approach from the start
Drooping eyelids can cause contact dermatitis, and aging can cause the skin and fat around the eyes to sag, making one appear older. Therefore, for eye procedures for middle-aged patients, it is important to create naturally younger-looking eyes by improving wrinkles and sagging skin rather than making dramatic changes to eye shape or size. · Drooping eyelids · Pressure on the outer corners of the eyes · Under-eye wrinkles · Formation of under-eye fat bags
