* Basic Information

# Female in her 40s

# Weak eyelid opening strength makes opening the eyes uncomfortable and gives a tired appearance.

# The eyelids are puffy with significant skin sagging, causing discomfort.

# Main Complaints: Sagging and sleepy-looking impression; desires improvement for puffy eyes.

* Consultation

# We planned to address the sagging skin and create natural double eyelids through upper blepharoplasty. Simultaneously, ptosis correction was recommended to create a clearer and more refreshed impression.

# For the inner corners of the eyes that appeared closed off and stuffy, a natural epicanthoplasty was planned.

* Surgical Plan

# Upper Blepharoplasty with Ptosis Correction

# Epicanthoplasty

* Post-operative Progress

# With the creation of a natural double eyelid line and the correction of eyelid opening strength, the patient now has a much clearer and brighter impression.

# Many patients worry that surgery using the incisional method will result in an unnatural, overly thick, or awkward look. However, if the surgery is performed according to the correct indications, there is no need to worry about scarring or lack of naturalness.

# Naturalness is the most important factor in middle-aged eye surgery. If the change in impression before and after surgery is too drastic, it can be burdensome and difficult to adjust to!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider upper blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty can be considered if you have difficulty opening your eyes or look tired due to weak eye-opening strength, or if you experience discomfort from puffy eyelids and significant skin sagging. It is effective when you want to improve a droopy, sleepy appearance or puffy eyes.

Can ptosis correction be performed simultaneously with upper blepharoplasty?

Yes, ptosis correction can be performed simultaneously with upper blepharoplasty. It can be a good plan to create a clearer and fresher impression through ptosis correction, while also resolving sagging skin and creating natural double eyelids with upper blepharoplasty.

What is the most important aspect of eye surgery for middle-aged individuals?

In eye surgery for middle-aged individuals, natural results are the most important. This is because a too-large change in impression before and after surgery can be burdensome and difficult to adapt to. The goal is natural improvement without worrying about scars or unnaturalness.

I'm worried that upper blepharoplasty using the incisional method will look unnatural.

No, surgery using the incisional method does not necessarily result in an unnatural or awkward look. The text explains that if the surgery is performed according to the indications, there is no need to worry about scars or unnaturalness.

In what cases is epicanthoplasty planned?

Epicanthoplasty can be planned when the inner corner of the eye is blocked, making the eyes appear stuffy. In the case presented in the text, epicanthoplasty was planned to a natural extent, helping to improve the eye shape to be more open and refreshed.

What changes can I expect after upper blepharoplasty?

After upper blepharoplasty, you can expect a natural double eyelid line to form, and simultaneously, the strength of opening the eyes will be corrected, leading to a clearer and brighter impression. The droopy and sleepy appearance is improved, resulting in an overall more vibrant look.
