Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelid surgery is an eye procedure for middle-aged patients that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from drooping upper eyelids to restore an obstructed field of vision and create clearer, more refreshed-looking eyes. The presence of ptosis, the degree of eyelid drooping and hollowing, as well as crow's feet and muscles, are analyzed together to determine the appropriate extent of excision for each individual.

The following factors are precisely analyzed to provide surgery tailored to each individual. · Analysis of the presence of ptosis · Analysis of eyelid drooping and hollowing · Analysis of under-eye fat and wrinkles · Analysis of crow's feet and muscles

Why R&Wood Upper Eyelid Surgery Is Special

Point 1. Comfortable eye opening and prevention of Forehead and eyebrow wrinkles

Because you do not need to strain your Forehead or eyebrows, opening your eyes is more comfortable and wrinkles can be prevented.

Point 2. Clear, bright, youthful-looking eyes

Excess skin is removed to create clearer, more youthful-looking eyes.

Point 3. Precision analysis system for Eye procedures for middle-aged patients

The presence of ptosis, eyelid drooping and hollowing, under-eye fat and wrinkles, and crow's feet and muscles are analyzed to provide surgery tailored to each individual.

Point 4. Restoring an obstructed field of vision and resolving functional concerns

Excess skin is excised to restore an obstructed field of vision and address functional issues caused by eyelashes irritating the eyes.

Surgical Procedure

STEP 1. Eyelid design and incision

The appropriate extent of excision is designed based on the individual's eyelid condition, followed by an incision.

STEP 2. Removal of excess skin

Excess skin, muscle, and fat from drooping eyelids are precisely removed.

STEP 3. Creation of the double-eyelid crease

A natural double-eyelid crease is created to achieve more defined eyes.

STEP 4. Delicate suturing

Fine suturing minimizes scarring and completes the eye contour. Because the incision is made along the double-eyelid crease, the scar is concealed within the crease.

Pre- and Post-Operative Precautions

Before Surgery

· During the consultation, we assess eyelid skin and fat condition, eyebrow position, eyelid height and movement, eyelid closure, left-right asymmetry, and previous surgical history. · Eye health, Dry Eye Disease symptoms, vision-related concerns, medications being taken, and nicotine exposure are also reviewed, so please inform us in advance. · Eyelid heaviness may result from a combination of excess skin, brow drooping, and ptosis; depending on the cause, a forehead lift or Ptosis Correction may be planned together.

After Surgery

· If removable sutures are used, they are removed 7 days after surgery. Whether buried suture sites require removal is determined according to the treatment plan. · For patients traveling from abroad, the recommended length of stay is provided according to individual recovery status. When performed together with other Lifting procedures, a stay of 7–10 days is generally recommended.

Please Be Sure to Review

After upper eyelid surgery, side effects such as swelling, bruising, Dry Eye Disease, tearing, light sensitivity, and temporary asymmetry may occur. Excessive skin removal may prevent the eyes from closing completely, while excessive fat removal may cause the upper eyelids to appear hollow or create asymmetry. As aging continues, the eyelids may droop again. Surgical methods and outcomes may vary depending on individual conditions and should be determined through consultation with a specialist.
