Upper Blepharoplasty

This procedure removes unnecessary skin and fat from sagging upper eyelids caused by loss of skin elasticity with aging, then securely connects the skin to the levator palpebrae superioris muscle to create naturally defined, youthful-looking eyes. Rather than dramatically changing the shape of the eyes, it lifts sagging skin to also improve functional discomforts such as obstructed vision, eyelashes irritating the eyes, and irritation at the outer corners of the eyes.

Recommended for the following

· Those whose sagging, loose eyelids obstruct their vision due to aging · Those whose drooping eyelids cause their eyelashes to irritate their eyes · Those with severe sagging at the outer corners of the eyes, causing irritation or discharge · Those who develop forehead wrinkles from using their forehead muscles to open their eyes due to drooping eyelids · Those who wish to improve functional and aesthetic concerns at the same time

View Eye procedures for middle-aged patients, which corrects the eye area affected by aging, differs from conventional cosmetic eye surgery in its approach. Rather than dramatically altering the shape or size of the eyes, it aims to lift sagging skin and naturally improve wrinkled or hollow areas for younger-looking eyes.

What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

When the upper eyelids droop due to aging, they can give a tired, sleepy appearance. If left untreated, eyelashes may irritate the eyes or the field of vision may become obstructed, potentially contributing to reduced vision. It may also cause secondary issues, such as itching or discharge when skin overlaps at the outer corners of the eyes. This procedure is performed to improve both functional and aesthetic concerns.

Features of View Eye procedures for middle-aged patients

Surgical Procedure

After assessing the degree of upper eyelid sagging, unnecessary skin is removed to create naturally defined, youthful-looking eyes.

STEP 1. Customized Design

Before surgery, the degree of sagging and the amount of skin to be removed are measured to create a personalized design.

STEP 2. Incision and Removal

An incision is made along the double eyelid line, and excess skin and unnecessary fat are removed.

STEP 3. Attachment and Suturing

The skin and levator palpebrae superioris muscle (the muscle that opens the eyes) are securely reattached to prevent recurrent sagging, followed by suturing.

STEP 4. Natural Completion

The result is a naturally brighter, more refreshed appearance without major changes to your overall impression.

What Happens If Sagging Eyelids Are Left Untreated?

Excessive use of the forehead to open the eyes due to sagging eyelids can cause forehead wrinkles, while the outer corners of the eyes may become irritated or itchy.
