Eye surgery

Upper & lower blepharoplasty

For upper lids that droop over the crease and crepey lower lids, excess skin is removed and the muscle re-draped so the eye opens up and looks younger.

Who it suits

  • Upper skin overhanging the visual field
  • Crepey skin and wrinkles under the eye
  • Eyeshadow creases into the fold

Technique highlights

  • Incisions hidden in the crease or under the lashes
  • Skin, fat and muscle addressed together
  • Can be combined with brow lift or fat repositioning

Surgical steps

  • Excess skin measured with the eyes in natural gaze
  • Excess skin and fat removed per the design
  • Closed with fine sutures, removed on day 5-7

Recovery & aftercare

  • No hospital stay; discharge on the same day
  • Suture removal and review at around day 5-7
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 5-7 days
  • Swelling settles noticeably within 2-3 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

What age is it suitable for?

It depends on laxity rather than age; some patients need it from their late thirties.

Will the eye look hollow after fat removal?

Fat is preserved where possible and repositioned rather than removed in deep-set eyes.
