Middle-Aged Eye Surgery: Firmly Lifts Drooping Eyelids!
Middle-aged eye surgery effectively lifts drooping eyelids, addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns caused by aging. It strengthens the levator palpebrae superioris muscle for a more youthful and alert appearance.


Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery.

The eyes are the first place people look when greeting someone,
so weak, drooping eyes can make one look tired and give a dull
impression.
Even if one wasn't born with drooping eyes,
everyone experiences symptoms of aging.
Aging symptoms begin in the late 20s and
accelerate rapidly by the late 30s.
Especially since the skin of the eyelids is thinner and more delicate than other areas, when aging symptoms
occur, skin elasticity decreases,
and the strength of the muscles that lift the upper eyelid
also weakens, causing them to droop.
Therefore, as more people wish to improve senile ptosis, which mainly occurs in middle-aged and older adults,
and achieve clear, vibrant eyes,
middle-aged eye surgery has been gaining attention.

To improve ptosis symptoms, which make one look tired due to drooping eyelids,
there were some limitations with general double eyelid surgery.
Simply creating a double eyelid line on the outer skin alone did not
strengthen the power to open the eyes.
While typical middle-aged eye surgery (upper blepharoplasty) used to involve cutting away excess skin and
pulling the outer wrinkles to create a double eyelid,
Diva has added a solution that strengthens the power of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle,
which is the fundamental cause of eyelid drooping.
Simultaneously with removing the sagging skin,
the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which is deep within the skin and opens the eye,
is tightened to resolve the fundamental problem of eyelid drooping,
thereby significantly reducing the possibility of recurrence.

Middle-aged eye surgery (upper blepharoplasty) methods can be broadly divided into
incisional and non-incisional techniques.
The incisional method involves making an incision in the eyelid skin, removing unnecessary skin,
and lifting the drooping eyelid, while the non-incisional method involves making tiny
holes in the eyelid and tying and pulling the inner muscles with a thread
to strengthen the power of the eye-opening muscles.
The appropriate method is determined based on the patient's degree of eyelid drooping and skin condition.
To receive the optimal solution suitable for oneself, a precise diagnosis from a specialist with extensive clinical experience in the procedure is necessary.
Furthermore, not everyone who experiences eyelid drooping needs
upper blepharoplasty.
If middle-aged eye surgery is performed indiscriminately to improve ptosis,
one may experience side effects from the surgery, so a careful decision is required.

Those who need middle-aged eye surgery (upper blepharoplasty) are as described above.
If the condition of drooping eyelids due to increased wrinkles around the eyes persists for a long time,
it can cause not only aesthetic problems but also functional issues such as eyelashes poking the eyes, causing discomfort in daily life,
or the sagging skin becoming moist and inflamed,
or even leading to forehead wrinkles in the process of opening the eyes wide to expand the narrowed field of vision.
By improving drooping eyelids, which cause various aesthetic and functional problems, with an appropriate solution,
one can achieve an overall natural and youthful eye shape,
and also expect a wrinkle prevention effect.

If the degree of eyelid drooping is not severe,
and a youthful effect can be achieved by simply creating an appropriate double eyelid line on the outer skin,
we recommend double eyelid surgery rather than middle-aged eye surgery.
There are also various methods for double eyelid surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is middle-aged eye surgery necessary?
Middle-aged eye surgery can be considered when eyelids droop due to aging, making one look tired, or when functional problems arise, such as eyelashes poking the eyes and narrowed vision. It can also be helpful in cases where forehead wrinkles develop.
How does general double eyelid surgery differ from middle-aged eye surgery?
General double eyelid surgery focuses on creating a double eyelid line on the outer skin, while middle-aged eye surgery solves the fundamental problem of eyelid drooping by removing sagging skin and strengthening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which opens the eye.
What are the methods for middle-aged eye surgery?
Middle-aged eye surgery methods can be broadly divided into incisional and non-incisional techniques. The incisional method involves incising the skin to remove unnecessary skin and lift the eyelid, while the non-incisional method strengthens the eye-opening power by tying the inner muscles through tiny holes.
Is middle-aged eye surgery necessary for all drooping eyelids?
No. If the degree of eyelid drooping is not severe and a youthful effect can be achieved by simply creating an appropriate double eyelid line on the outer skin, double eyelid surgery may be recommended. A careful diagnosis based on individual condition is necessary.
What are the effects of middle-aged eye surgery?
Middle-aged eye surgery improves the tired impression caused by drooping eyelids and resolves functional problems such as eyelash irritation or obstructed vision. It also creates an overall natural and youthful eye shape and can be expected to have a wrinkle prevention effect.
