ABOUT

The top and bottom of the eyelids
Let's see separately and plan together.

Upper eyelid surgery examines the sagging upper eyelid and the resulting visual and eyelash discomfort,
Lower eyelid surgery deals with changes under the eyes caused by sagging skin and bulging fat.

Even if it's around the same eye, the condition of skin, fat, muscle and diaphragm is different.
We need an appropriate approach to each part.

METHOD

Although the location is close
The organization we deal with is different.

Let's look at the difference between the problem of checking the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid and the adjustment method.

Upper eyelid surgery

Design the covered and drooping upper eyelids to fit the individual's eyes,
After correcting the necessary skin and tissue, it is sutured.

Upper eyelid

Lower eyelid surgery

Reposition the protruding under-eye fat to the off part,
Strengthen the extended diaphragm and muscles, and adjust the skin as much as necessary.

Lower eyelid

CHECK

I'll check first

According to the changes seen in the upper eyelid and under the eyes
The surgery to look at is different.

Upper eyelid surgery

  • If your eyes are heavy due to eyelid sagging
  • When the field of view is blocked
  • If the double eyelid line is drooping

  • Upper eyelid surgery is designed for individual eyes and necessary tissue correction.
  • Lower eyelid surgery not only considers fat removal but also relocation and diaphragm and muscle reinforcement.
  • Adjust the skin to the necessary range so that it is not pulled unnaturally.

PLANNING

Rather than reducing a lot
Adjust as much as necessary

Natural wrinkles and skin elasticity,
We examine the condition of the fat and surrounding tissues together.

※ The method and recovery process depend on the condition of eyelid tissue,
After treatment, we will decide after consulting with the medical team.
