Hello~

​

💚your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

As we age, our skin sags and loses elasticity, leading to visible signs of aging.

The eyes, in particular, are the most sensitive area to aging and show these changes the fastest.

​

Those whose eyelids sag downward, covering the pupils or creating wrinkles, often seek upper blepharoplasty,

while those whose under-eye fat sags, causing bulging beneath the eyes, frequently look for

lower blepharoplasty.

​

However, since recovery takes longer as we get older, many people choose to undergo both surgeries at the same time.

​

Today, we will be doing a Q&A on whether

it is better to get upper and lower blepharoplasty together.

​

Is it better to get upper and lower blepharoplasty together?

There are many patients who receive upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time.

Because it can reduce the overall recovery period and alleviate the burden of undergoing multiple surgeries,

there is a tendency to prefer doing them all at once.

​

There are pros and cons to doing the surgeries together.

The biggest advantage, as mentioned above, is saving time.

The disadvantage is that eye discomfort may last longer.

​

The upper and lower eyelids work together simultaneously to protect the eyeball.

However, if both the upper and lower eyelids have skin partially excised at the same time,

and swelling occurs, it will take longer for the eyes to adapt to these changes.

​

Dry eye syndrome may worsen, and symptoms such as eye sensitivity, conjunctival redness, and tearing can occur for a month or two after surgery.

There are individual differences in these symptoms; some may experience mild symptoms,

while others may feel severe discomfort.

However, these are all caused by the surgery and swelling,

and they will almost entirely resolve after 3 to 6 months.

​

In conclusion,

✅ If the skin elasticity of your upper and lower eyelids is severely weakened,

✅ If you already have severe dry eye syndrome, or

✅ If you have accompanying ophthalmological diseases,

we highly recommend getting the surgeries separately rather than at the same time.
