Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Dr. Park Seon-hee, Head Director of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

As we age, various signs of aging appear,

such as drooping eyelids, bulging under-eye fat, dark circles, and eye wrinkles.

Representative middle-aged eye surgeries to address these symptoms include upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning,

and forehead lifts.

​

In particular, because the skin around the eyes is thin, it is the first area to experience aging,

making it the most noticeable part of the face.

​

When skin aging causes the outer corners of the eyes to gradually droop or the eyelids to sag and obstruct your vision,

an upper blepharoplasty is typically performed.

​

However, there are cases where upper blepharoplasty is not recommended.

Today, let's look into who should avoid getting an upper blepharoplasty.

​

Who Should Avoid Upper Blepharoplasty?

If you have a history of multiple surgeries on your upper eyelids,

or if you have insufficient eyelid skin for other reasons, causing your eyes to not close completely,

it is best to avoid this surgery.

Additionally, for those whose upper eyelid skin is too thick for a double eyelid fold to look natural,

or for men who do not want double eyelids, it is better to consider a lift surgery or

other methods to improve eyelid sagging.

​

Today, we discussed the cases where upper blepharoplasty should be avoided.

I will be back next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is upper blepharoplasty necessary?

When should upper blepharoplasty be avoided?

Yes, there are cases where upper blepharoplasty should be avoided. It is not recommended for individuals who have a history of multiple surgeries on the upper eyelid area or those with insufficient eyelid skin due to other reasons, which may prevent their eyes from closing completely.

Is upper blepharoplasty possible if the eyelid skin is thick?

No, for individuals with thick upper eyelid skin who may not suit double eyelids, it is better to improve eyelid ptosis with other methods like a lift surgery rather than upper blepharoplasty.

Can men also undergo upper blepharoplasty?

Yes, men can also consider surgery to improve sagging eyelids. However, for men who do not desire double eyelids, other methods like a lift surgery might be more suitable for improving ptosis instead of upper blepharoplasty.
