Busan Plastic Surgery: Eyelid Changes Due to Aging, Which Surgery is Right for Me?

Hello. This is Four Seasons Plastic Surgery.

At Busan plastic surgery clinics, various changes begin to appear in the structures around the eyes due to aging.

The elasticity of the eyelid skin decreases, and the muscles involved in opening the eyes, along with the supporting ligaments, weaken, causing the upper eyelids to gradually droop.

This can make the eyes look heavy or give a sleepy impression, and in some cases, it can obstruct vision, leading to increased daily discomfort.

Furthermore, the lower eyelids are an area that is more susceptible to the effects of aging due to their thin skin and densely distributed fat layer.

As fat protrudes forward or the skin sags, wrinkles and under-eye bags become prominent, which can make one look more tired and older than their actual age.

These changes go beyond simple aesthetic issues, affecting eye function and overall facial impression.

Is eyelid ptosis merely a cosmetic problem?

When not only the upper eyelids but also the lower eyelids begin to sag, changes in impression as well as functional discomfort can appear.

Eyelid ptosis can obstruct vision or cause eyelashes to poke the eyes, leading to eye fatigue and a feeling of stuffiness. Bulging under-eyes, wrinkles, and prominent dark circles can collectively create a more tired and aged appearance.

Additionally, difficulty in opening the eyes comfortably can lead to unconsciously raising the eyebrows, deepening forehead wrinkles and causing facial expressions to appear stiff due to overuse of the muscles around the eyes. Upper and lower eyelid ptosis are not isolated problems but rather influence each other, potentially diminishing both eye function and overall impression simultaneously. Therefore, beyond simple cosmetic purposes, it is important to consider improvement directions with a diagnosis of upper and lower blepharoplasty at a Busan plastic surgery clinic that suits your current condition.

Upper blepharoplasty at a Busan plastic surgery clinic begins with accurately assessing the degree of eyelid ptosis.

Depending on the individual's eye condition, the sagging skin and muscles are corrected, and if necessary, an appropriate amount of fat is removed before the eyelid and muscles are securely sutured.

The goal is to reduce the discomfort of obstructed vision and improve the eye shape to be clearer and more comfortable without being excessive.

This can be particularly helpful for those concerned about eyes that look stuffy or give a sleepy impression.

Lower blepharoplasty at a Busan plastic surgery clinic is performed considering the under-eye fat, sagging skin, and muscle condition together.

Rather than indiscriminately removing a large amount of under-eye fat, it is crucial to control the appropriate amount when excising skin and muscle.

If improvement is limited with under-eye fat repositioning alone at a Busan plastic surgery clinic, lower blepharoplasty at a Busan plastic surgery clinic can correct both under-eye sagging and wrinkles, leading to a more vibrant eye appearance.

When double eyelids are hidden due to drooping eyelids, when drooping eyelids obstruct vision and the outer corners of the eyes become irritated, when the skin under the eyes sags or bulges, or when tear troughs are sunken making dark circles appear severe, etc., eyelid ptosis or under-eye hollowness do not arise from a single cause. Therefore, it is important to accurately diagnose the current eye condition and choose the appropriate surgical method at a Busan plastic surgery clinic that suits you.

Since upper and lower blepharoplasty at a Busan plastic surgery clinic have different roles and objectives, a customized plan based on experience can lead to highly satisfying results.
