Sagging and wrinkled eyes due to aging,

The results are natural only when the skin, fat, and muscle conditions are comprehensively evaluated and addressed."

ABOUT

What is Middle-aged Eye Surgery?

Due to the aging process that occurs as we get older,
it is a method to correct the eyes that have changed due to decreased skin elasticity.

Correcting eyes changed by decreased skin elasticity

Caused by decreased skin elasticity, sagging eyelids or bulging under-eye bagsis a method of improvement that provides a youthful effect through smoother eyes.

In addition, issues caused by sagging eyelids such as securing a narrowed field of visionand eyelashes poking the eyescan also be improved.

PHILOSOPHY

Middle-aged eye surgery,
what you see is not everything.
A surgery proud enough to be presented at academic conferences!

Like all eye surgeries, middle-aged eye surgery should not be judged and performed based solely on the visible exterior. The degree of sagging skin, skin thickness, eyelid fat volume, and surrounding muscle condition must be comprehensively analyzed to apply the appropriate surgical method for a natural, clear, and youthful eye shape.

Precise Diagnosis + Personalized Customization

We comprehensively analyze the skin, fat, and muscle conditions to propose the optimal combination of upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and brow lift.

METHOD

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery Methods

Sagging eyelids, bulging under-eyes, narrowed distance between eyebrows — 3 approaches based on condition.

METHOD A

Upper Blepharoplasty

Sagging eyelids + poking eyelashes + narrowed vision solved at once

While improving sagging eyelids to create a youthful eye shape, poking eyelashes and narrowed vision discomforts can also be resolved. In older individuals, as time passes, the levator muscle loosens or separates from the tarsal plate,which often requires repositioning.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and double eyelid surgery?
It differs from general double eyelid surgery in that it removes sagging skin and fat while simultaneously creating a natural line. You can expect both secured vision and a youthful effect.
Will the under-eye area sag after lower blepharoplasty?
Gangnam Seoyeon minimizes sagging by performing septal reinforcement and mid-face lift together. As accurate diagnosis is important, feasibility is determined through a 1:1 consultation.
Can I get upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time?
Yes, it is possible. It is a recommended combination as refining both the upper and lower eyes together provides a natural youthful effect.
Is daily life difficult during the recovery period?
Major swelling subsides within a week, and going out is possible by wearing a mask or sunglasses. Natural results settle in at 3 to 6 months.
When is a brow lift also necessary?
It is natural to perform it together when the distance between the eyes and eyebrows is wide and eyelid sagging is severe. Heavy eyelids can also be refined together.
Surgery Guidelines Complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after surgery, and results vary by individual. Please consult sufficiently with a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate procedure decision.
