Reasons to Choose Upper Blepharoplasty at Vibe Plastic Surgery

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

As we age, the muscles used to open our eyes gradually weaken,

and the skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag—

a natural symptom everyone experiences.

​

Most people,

as they pass their 40s, often complain of heavy, drooping eyelids

and fatigue when trying to keep their eyes open.

​

Because of this, among the middle-aged patients

who visit Vibe Plastic Surgery, many are highly curious

about upper blepharoplasty.

Therefore, today we would like to explain

upper blepharoplasty in detail.

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

​

It is a highly sought-after eye surgery for cases where

drooping eyelids and eyelashes poking the eyes

make a person look older than their actual age.

Surgical Method?

​

This surgical method involves making an incision along the double eyelid line

and removing a portion of the excessively sagging skin

to create a clearer, more defined double eyelid.

​

After the surgery, the eyes look more defined than before,

and you can comfortably use your muscles when opening your eyes,

allowing for simultaneous functional and aesthetic improvements.

​

In the case of upper blepharoplasty, excising unnecessary tissue

and pulling and fixing the remaining part

is the common surgical approach.

If overcorrection occurs,

the eyes may not close properly

or the eye shape may appear fierce.

Therefore, you must establish a surgical plan

after consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon with abundant clinical experience.

​

Vibe Plastic Surgery Upper Blepharoplasty POINT!

​

Vibe Plastic Surgery conducts customized consultations

to improve both aesthetic and functional aspects simultaneously.

While consulting based on your individual eye condition,

we identify and recommend any necessary concurrent surgeries.

​

This is because, depending on your needs, combining procedures

such as lower blepharoplasty or an endoscopic forehead lift

can produce even better results.

​

If you look particularly older due to sagging eyes

or are experiencing discomfort from eyelashes poking your eyes,

do not hesitate

and receive a consultation at Vibe Plastic Surgery.
