[Diva Plastic Surgery] Sagging Eyelid Surgery: Improving a Tired Impression and Obstructed Vision

Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery.

The eyes play a significant role in determining one's appearance and impression. For this reason, many middle-aged individuals are increasingly seeking information about sagging eyelid surgery and undergoing upper blepharoplasty. Many people experience drooping upper eyelids due to congenital factors or aging. When the upper eyelids sag, it not only creates aesthetic problems such as a tired, dull, or older-looking impression but also functional issues like the drooping eyelids obstructing vision. Furthermore, eyelashes pushed down by the sagging eyelids can poke the eyes.

Sagging eyelid surgery is a recommended solution for those whose vision is obstructed by drooping eyelids, those who experience skin irritation at the outer corners of their eyes due to sagging eyelids, those who appear older due to severe eyelid ptosis, and those whose original double eyelid line has changed due to sagging eyelids.

Upper blepharoplasty, or sagging eyelid surgery, should be performed by applying an appropriate method after precisely checking each individual's facial features, eye shape, degree of aging, and skin condition. In the past, simply removing the sagging eyelid skin could lead to recurrence over time. However, at our clinic, we lift the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which opens the eye, to reduce recurrence and create a more defined eye shape. Unlike simple double eyelid surgery, upper blepharoplasty removes sagging skin and fat to improve wrinkles and creates a double eyelid line tailored to the individual, resulting in clear and vibrant eyes.

* What is the levator palpebrae superioris muscle?

The levator palpebrae superioris is a voluntary muscle. Voluntary muscles are those that can be moved by one's own will. Therefore, the levator palpebrae superioris in the upper eyelid is the muscle that contracts when you open your eyes voluntarily. It is the muscle that normally keeps your eyes open.

Sagging eyelid surgery can tautly correct drooping eyelids and irregular double eyelid lines, and strengthen the sagging eyelid muscles to improve the eyes into a clear, youthful appearance. Additionally, by correcting wrinkles around the eyes, one can expect a naturally younger-looking impression. When the upper eyelids sag and obstruct vision, people tend to use their forehead muscles to open their eyes, which can lead to forehead wrinkles. Sagging eyelid surgery not only prevents aging around the eyes but also helps prevent forehead wrinkles. Since it is a solution that requires improving both the skin and the muscles within the eyelid, it is crucial to receive this surgery from medical professionals with extensive experience and meticulous skills in the procedure. At our clinic, the medical team responsible for pre-surgical consultation and examination also directly performs the surgery, meticulously assessing the degree of sagging to create a personalized 1:1 plan that delivers highly satisfying results.

Sagging eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty) does not apply a standardized surgical method but rather different methods depending on the aging status of each area. For more effective and satisfying results, it is important to accurately determine which surgical method is suitable for you.
