Upper blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty improves drooping and sagging of the upper eyelids.
This surgery is recommended for those whose vision is clouded due to skin and
muscle drooping on upper eyelids and those who use forehead muscles to open the eyes.
Correction of sagging eyelid skin does not consist of only removing loose skin.
In order to avoid overcorrection, you will need a close diagnosis from an experienced doctor
who knows exactly which parts of the skin are more saggy and which parts need more correction.

Who is eligible for upper blepharoplasty?
Sagging eyelids not only results in an older looking appearance
but there may be functional problems too. Drooping eyelids may cover up your vision
which can result in great discomfort and deeper wrinkle on the forehead and
in between the eyebrows. Since vision is constantly being covered you may have to scrunch
your eyes and use your forehead muscles to open your eyes for clearer vision.
This will naturally result in deep wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows.

FAQ
What is upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is an eyelid procedure that rejuvenates
tired, aged, and sagging eyes. Over time, droopy eyelid skin can
partially cover the eyes, impairing vision and contributing to
wrinkles, which makes a person appear older. To compensate,
many people unconsciously use their forehead muscles to
improve their vision, leading to additional wrinkles around the
forehead and brows. During upper blepharoplasty, the surgeon
makes precise incisions to remove excess skin, fat, and tissues
while tightening the drooping muscles for a more youthful and
refreshed appearance.
How much does upper blepharoplasty cost in Korea?
The cost of upper blepharoplasty in Korea varies by clinic and
typically ranges from ₩3,000,000 to ₩4,500,000.
What is the recovery time for upper blepharoplasty in Korea?
Recovery from upper blepharoplasty can take about 1 to 2
weeks, during which patients may experience swelling, bruising,
redness in the eyes, and discomfort
What is the difference between Korean double eyelid surgery and upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid surgery, is performed to
remove excess skin, muscles, and fat from the upper eyelids to
correct droopy or sagging skin, which may hinder eyesight or
create a tired appearance. On the other hand, double eyelid
surgery is a procedure that creates a crease in the upper eyelids,
more focused on aesthetic enhancement.
Can young people get upper blepharoplasty?
Yes, young people can get upper blepharoplasty if they have
significant eyelid drooping or asymmetry that affects their vision
or appearance. However, it is more common for older individuals
to seek upper blepharoplasty as the skin naturally loses elasticity
with age.
Can upper blepharoplasty correct asymmetrical eyelids?
Yes, upper blepharoplasty can correct asymmetrical eyelids.
However, if the asymmetry is not primarily caused by sagging
skin, then your surgeon may recommend other surgeries such as
double eyelid, ptosis correction, or canthoplasty.
How long should I wait before undergoing revision surgery for upper blepharoplasty?
It is recommended to wait at least 6 months after the previous surgery before undergoing a revision upper blepharoplasty. This allows sufficient time for tissues to heal and recover fully.
