Upper Blepharoplasty
from 400,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
This is a middle-aged eyelid surgery designed to create a more youthful, defined eye appearance by correcting both sagging upper eyelid skin and weakened eyelid-opening muscles. Excess skin is removed, and eyelid ptosis correction may be performed when necessary. Functional improvement is also considered in cases where eyelid drooping obstructs the visual field or contributes to deep forehead wrinkles.
Surgery Overview
JK Upper Blepharoplasty for middle-aged patients is a procedure that systematically analyzes the causes of sagging upper eyelids and weakened eye-opening muscles associated with aging to create youthful, defined eyes. In addition to aesthetic improvement, it also addresses functional issues such as a narrowed field of vision due to drooping eyelids or deepening forehead wrinkles.
Recommended for
· Those whose eyes feel heavy and difficult to open, causing them to raise their forehead to open their eyes · Those who appear sleepy and have hollowed upper eyelids · Those who have used contact lenses for a long time · Middle-aged eyes that appear sleepy after Cataract or Glaucoma surgery
Features of JK Upper Blepharoplasty for middle-aged patients
Point 1. Tailored to your age and your needs
Removes sagging eyelid skin, a sign of aging, to create elegant, naturally youthful eyes.
Point 2. Functional improvement as well
In the 40s and 50s, sagging eyelids and reduced levator muscle function can cause the forehead muscles to be used more, deepening forehead wrinkles and making the eyes feel heavy and fatigued in the afternoon. We correct the causes of sagging to improve function as well.
Point 3. Forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids at once
Because the eyebrows and Forehead often sag along with the eyelids, the Forehead skin can be lifted when necessary to address aging of the Forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids at once.
Surgical Method – Upper Blepharoplasty · Ptosis Correction
STEP 1. Design
Precise and detailed design.
STEP 2. Incision and tissue refinement
After the incision, unnecessary tissue is removed and the muscle layer is dissected.
STEP 3. Muscle suturing
The levator muscle is tightened and sutured.
STEP 4. Completion
The procedure is carefully completed to create more defined eyes.
Brow Lift (Brow Lifting)
Sagging, thick skin is excised and lifted to reveal the double-eyelid crease area, while minimizing the amount of skin removed to create a double eyelid. The thin skin at the double-eyelid crease is preserved, so the crease does not look thick or overly pronounced. · Those with high-set eyebrows and a wide distance between the eyes and eyebrows · Those with eyebrow tattoos · Those with significant outer eyelid sagging and severe Crow's Feet · Those whose skin at the outer corners of the eyes becomes easily irritated or macerated
Sub-brow Lift
Excises and lifts sagging, thick skin to create a defined double-eyelid crease.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Corrects the levator muscle to create naturally defined eyes.
Forehead Lift Method
When the eyelids and eyebrows sag, causing severe Crow's Feet or nasal bridge wrinkles, Double Eyelid Surgery alone cannot improve Forehead and eye sagging. In such cases, the Forehead and eyelids are lifted together. The procedure is performed with an Endoscope, so the incision is not visible, and because eyelid skin is not excised, Scar Revision exposure is minimized. · Those with low-set eyebrows and a narrow distance between the eyes and eyebrows · Those with severe wrinkles around the eyes, Glabella, or nasal bridge · Those whose upper eyelids appear prominently puffy
STEP 1. Surgical area design
The design is carefully planned based on the degree of skin sagging, wrinkle depth, and other factors.
STEP 2. Incision
An incision of approximately 1–2 cm is made behind the hairline.
STEP 3. Endotine insertion
After sufficient Dissection with an Endoscope, the skin is lifted and secured to an Endotine device.
STEP 4. Suturing
The incision is securely and precisely sutured to minimize scarring.
