Brighten, Lift, and Refresh—While Preserving Your Natural Look

Upper blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin and fat to open the eyes, refine the crease, and reduce heaviness. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, a female board-certified facial surgeon tailors crease height and contour to your features for a fresh, natural result—never overdone.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Heavy or droopy upper lids that hide the crease
• Makeup smudging or loss of visible lid space
• Asymmetric creases or uneven lid height
• Functional obstruction of the visual field
• Healthy eyes and realistic expectations

Surgical Approach (Customized)

• Crease design & marking to match facial harmony and ethnicity
• Skin-only or skin–fat redraping to smooth bulges without hollowness
• Orbicularis/ligament finesse for clean contour
• Ptosis repair added when true levator weakness exists (case-by-case)

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Duration: ~45–90 minutes (both eyes)
• Incisions: hidden in the new or existing crease
• Discharge: same day with lubrication and cold-compress plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruise: 3–7 days (concealer usually after day 3–4 if cleared)
• Suture removal: 5–7 days
• Crease refinement: 4–8 weeks; final polish 3–6 months

Results You Can Expect

• Brighter, more open eyes with defined crease space
• Easier makeup application and longer-lasting wear
• Natural symmetry tailored to your features
• Option to improve visual field in obstructive cases

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours, sleep elevated 1 week
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment as needed
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, contact lenses 2 weeks
• Begin SPF 50+ and silicone/scar care after suture removal if advised

Combination Options

• Ptosis repair for droopy eyelid muscle
• Brow-tail lift (thread/endoscopic) for lateral hooding
• Lower blepharoplasty for under-eye bags
• Laser toning/LDM later for redness and texture finesse

FAQs

Will the scar be visible?
It sits inside the crease and typically fades to a thin line that’s hidden when eyes are open.

Is this the same as ptosis repair?
No. Upper blepharoplasty removes/repositions skin and fat; ptosis repair tightens the lifting muscle. They can be combined when needed.

How long do results last?
Many enjoy years of improvement; aging continues but heaviness typically returns far less than before.
