Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Do your eyelids feel heavy, droopy, or make you look tired even when you're well-rested? Upper blepharoplasty—commonly known as upper eyelid surgery—is a popular cosmetic and functional procedure that rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper eyelids. In Korea, where surgical precision meets aesthetic excellence, upper blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed eye surgeries, offering dramatic yet natural-looking results.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in upper blepharoplasty tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. Whether your aim is to look more awake and refreshed or to correct sagging that impairs vision, our experienced surgeons are here to deliver personalized, beautiful outcomes with minimal downtime.
Why Choose Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is ideal for individuals who:
- Have excess skin folding over the natural eyelid crease
- Experience a tired or aged appearance due to droopy eyelids
- Struggle with partially obstructed vision from sagging skin
- Desire a more defined upper eyelid contour or double eyelid
- Want to rejuvenate their eyes while preserving ethnic or natural features
This procedure can be both cosmetic and medical—enhancing appearance while also improving comfort and functionality.
Customized Approach to Eyelid Enhancement
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we understand that the shape and anatomy of each patient’s eyes are different. That’s why we offer a personalized approach to upper blepharoplasty that respects your natural eyelid contour, ethnicity, and aesthetic preference.
Types of Upper Blepharoplasty:
- Classic Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin and fat for a smoother, firmer upper lid.
- Double Eyelid Surgery (Incisional Method): Creates a defined eyelid crease for those without a natural fold.
- Non-Incisional Method (if suitable): Uses tiny punctures to create a crease with minimal scarring (ideal for younger patients with minimal skin excess).
- Functional Blepharoplasty: Corrects eyelid drooping that interferes with vision, often covered by insurance in certain countries.
We use advanced techniques to minimize visible scarring and achieve harmonious, long-lasting results.
Consultation and Planning
Your consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic includes a full evaluation of your upper eyelids, brow position, skin elasticity, and personal goals. We take time to listen, assess, and explain your best options.
During the consultation, we will:
- Examine eyelid skin, fat distribution, and muscle tone
- Discuss your ideal eye shape and preferences
- Show before-and-after images of similar procedures
- Recommend the best technique for natural results
- Address any concerns, including risks and recovery expectations
We’ll ensure you feel informed and confident in your decision to proceed.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Upper blepharoplasty is a safe and straightforward outpatient procedure, usually performed under local anesthesia with or without sedation.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to the eyelid area.
- Incision and Removal: A fine incision is made along the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle are removed or repositioned.
- Suturing: The incision is closed with fine sutures, ensuring minimal scarring hidden in the crease.
- Recovery Start: The patient returns home the same day with a protective ointment and aftercare instructions.
The surgery typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on complexity.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from upper eyelid surgery is generally quick and manageable. Most patients return to daily activities within a week.
Recovery Tips:
- Use cold compresses for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling
- Keep your head elevated while sleeping
- Avoid rubbing or straining the eyes
- Refrain from makeup and contact lenses for about a week
- Follow up for suture removal (usually after 5–7 days)
Most swelling and bruising fade within 1–2 weeks, and final results are visible in 4–6 weeks.
