Middle-aged Eyelid Ptosis: Upper Blepharoplasty or Endoscopic Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

Hello.

I am Song Sang-hoon, the chief director of Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery.

Have you ever experienced your eyelids feeling heavy, causing you to open your eyes using your forehead?

Have you ever experienced this?

As your eyelids sag,

your eyes may appear smaller and your expression more tired. This change in appearance

occurs as you age, due to the weakening of the muscles around the eyes and the drooping of the eyelids.

is a phenomenon that occurs.

The clear and vibrant eyes of youth

at some point, begin to change, becoming small and constricted,

as skin elasticity decreases and the structure of the muscles, fat, and even bones around the eyes begins to transform.

start to change, becoming small and constricted.

Since these changes cannot be resolved with lifting creams or makeup,

many middle-aged clients visit our clinic considering upper blepharoplasty or endoscopic forehead lift (brow lift).

Today, for those experiencing discomfort due to middle-aged eyelid ptosis,

to help you determine which surgery is more suitable for your specific case,

we will explain in detail the procedures performed at Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery:

upper blepharoplasty and endoscopic forehead lift.

I will try to explain in detail.

Goldendiamant's upper blepharoplasty

is a method of middle-aged eye surgery that addresses both functional and aesthetic issues

for those who experience difficulty securing their vision

due to sagging eyelids, simultaneously improving both functional and aesthetic problems.

Upper blepharoplasty is

recommended for individuals whose change in appearance is due to ‘sagging eyelids’, rather than deep forehead wrinkles or a problem with the muscles used to open the eyes with the forehead.

This surgery is recommended for those whose change in appearance is due to ‘sagging eyelids’.

Upper blepharoplasty includes both the general upper blepharoplasty, which involves an incision on the eyelid, and

sub-brow upper blepharoplasty, which involves an incision below the eyebrow.

First, general upper blepharoplasty is a procedure where, after accurately assessing the eye's structure and muscles, and designing a customized double eyelid line through individual consultation with the medical staff, the skin is incised along this line to remove wrinkled and sagging skin and unnecessary fat, then sutured. The procedure takes about 1 hour, is performed under local anesthesia, and because the incision area is not large, it allows for a quick return to daily life.

Second, sub-brow upper blepharoplasty (sub-brow lift) is performed when there is upper eyelid ptosis, the distance between the eye and eyebrow is not too close, and the patient wishes to maintain their original double eyelid line. It yields more natural results compared to general upper blepharoplasty and can also provide a slight eyebrow lifting effect.

Since each person's eye shape is different,

regarding which surgery is suitable,

sufficient consultation must precede.

Goldendiamant's endoscopic forehead lift (brow lift) surgery

involves sufficient dissection through a micro-incision within the scalp using an endoscope,

then dissecting the subcutaneous tissue and periosteum, avoiding complex nerves,

after inserting an Endotine, the dissected skin is pulled upwards towards the head,

This is a lifting surgery that can simultaneously improve forehead wrinkles, sagging eyebrows, and hollows and sagging of the eyelids by firmly fixing the skin.

Endoscopic forehead lift is

recommended for individuals who open their eyes using their forehead muscles, or those who wish to address both upper eye sagging and deep forehead wrinkles simultaneously.

This surgery is recommended for those who wish to address both upper eye sagging and deep forehead wrinkles simultaneously.

Because the surgery is performed

through very small incisions, just large enough for an advanced endoscope to enter the scalp,

the burden of scars is minimal,

and because the procedure is performed precisely and delicately while viewing the surgical area on a monitor, the risk of nerve damage and side effects is low.

The endoscopic forehead lift surgery

takes about 3 hours,

is performed under sedation anesthesia,

and requires 3-5 additional visits for scar care, progress checks, and suture removal.

This is a surgery that requires additional visits.

Both upper blepharoplasty and

endoscopic forehead lift are

effective surgical methods for improving sagging eyelids due to aging.

However, because the pattern of eyelid sagging, the way one opens their eyes, and the use of forehead muscles vary from person to person,

it is different for everyone,

it is essential to determine which surgery is suitable for you through a detailed consultation with a medical professional.

At Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery,

I, as a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience,

personally guide clients through the entire process, from consultation and design to surgery and recovery.

I am proceeding with the customer.

we recommend calling Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery for a consultation.
