Everything About Natural Upper Blepharoplasty: Before and After Reviews!

Hello!

To ensure highly satisfying results,

Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery Clinic

always does its best :)

Today, we are going to look into upper blepharoplasty, a popular middle-aged eye surgery.

When people talk about eye surgery for middle-aged individuals, they usually refer to upper blepharoplasty and lower blepharoplasty.

Upper blepharoplasty improves sagging eyelids caused by aging,

while lower blepharoplasty addresses bulging fat under the eyes and sagging skin.

Today, we will focus on upper blepharoplasty among middle-aged eye surgeries.

The photos below have not been edited in any way,

except for brightness adjustments :)

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Originally, upper blepharoplasty was a general term for surgeries performed on the upper part of the eye, including double eyelid surgery and subbrow lifts.

Nowadays, it is mostly recognized as a surgery that removes sagging eyelid skin and creates a double eyelid crease,

and is primarily considered a procedure for those in their middle age.

When performing upper blepharoplasty, since the skin is more stretched than in younger individuals, an incision must be made to remove the excess skin.

As shown in the illustration above, after cutting the sagging skin, a double eyelid is created to hide the resulting scar.

How to Achieve Natural Upper Blepharoplasty

One of the biggest concerns when considering upper blepharoplasty

is that many middle-aged patients often look ‘sharp’ or ‘unnatural’ after eye surgery.

This is why Director Choi Dong-il focuses on specific points during the procedure:

Since older patients have significant skin sagging, it is difficult to look exactly like someone in their teens or 20s.

However, the goal is to make the eyes look natural without the sagging sensation, aiming for a look that is about 10 years younger than the current age.

So, how can we improve sagging eyelids naturally without looking awkward?

As you can see in the photo, there are thin layers and thick layers of skin.

Eyelid skin is thinner closer to the eyelashes and becomes thicker as it gets closer to the eyebrows.

Therefore, as shown in the left diagram, it is more natural to remove the thick skin under the eyebrow and then create the double eyelid.

If only the thin skin is removed, as shown in the right diagram, too much thick skin remains, which can make the upper eye area look puffy and unnatural.

However, if the skin itself is very thin, the method on the right may be acceptable.

Upper Blepharoplasty Before & After

Next, let’s look at some before and after photos of upper blepharoplasty.

In the ‘before’ photo, you can see the eyelid sagging and covering the pupil.

Here is another case.

For those whose skin sags specifically on the outer corners of the eyes, adjusting just that area can yield great results.

In some cases, a subbrow lift alone can provide significant improvement.

Here is another case.

Improving sagging eyelids like this can create a much more youthful appearance.

For those with asymmetry, correcting the balance can greatly improve the overall look.

In this photo, the right eye is slightly smaller and the line is faint.

In such cases, performing ptosis correction alongside the surgery is helpful.

Also, if the eyes look sleepy or weak due to aging, ptosis correction can improve the shape.

In cases where hollow upper eyes become severe with age, fat grafting can be performed simultaneously.

The Core of Upper Blepharoplasty

The core of upper blepharoplasty is

performing the appropriate surgery tailored to various individual cases.

Therefore, it is essential to consult with an experienced surgeon before deciding on upper blepharoplasty.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm worried that my impression might look fierce after upper blepharoplasty.

Natural results can be achieved by excising the thick skin under the eyebrows. It is important to apply an appropriate incision method tailored to the patient's skin thickness, as only cutting the thin skin close to the eyelashes can make the upper eye look thick and unnatural.

My eyes are different sizes and asymmetrical. Can this be corrected?

Yes, asymmetry can be improved by performing ptosis correction surgery concurrently. If one eye is smaller or the double eyelid line is faint during upper blepharoplasty, performing ptosis correction together can help balance both eyes and create a clearer eye shape.

My upper eyelids have become deeply sunken with age. What should I do?

If the upper eyelid hollowing is severe, it is recommended to perform fat grafting concurrently. By improving sagging skin with upper blepharoplasty and filling the insufficient upper eye volume with fat grafting, you can create a much younger and more vibrant eye shape.

My eyelid sagging isn't severe, but can eyebrow lift incision alone be effective?

Yes, if only the outer skin of the eye is primarily sagging, good results can be achieved with an eyebrow lift incision alone. It is most desirable to accurately assess the patient's eye condition and degree of skin sagging and perform only the necessary surgery.
