Upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty, and Sub-brow Lift: For Middle-Aged Eye Surgery, Choosing a Plastic Surgeon with Sufficient Clinical Experience and Technical Skills Is Important

With the craze for self-care to lead a healthy life, proactive shifts in attitude toward youth among middle-aged and older adults are becoming prominent. Continuing to engage in active pursuits no less vibrant than the younger generation for a youthful and energetic lifestyle, middle-aged and older adults spare no effort in improving the signs of aging that appear on their faces.

In line with these changes, gift trends for Parents' Day are also shifting. An increasing number of adult children are choosing so-called "filial piety plastic surgery" as a gift for their parents. Among these, upper blepharoplasty, sub-brow lift, and lower blepharoplasty are in high demand as representative anti-aging surgeries among middle-aged plastic surgeries.

Upper blepharoplasty is a surgery that corrects drooping eyelids that cause eyelashes to curl inward against the eyeball, obstructing the visual field and deteriorating vision. By considering eye shape and features and excising the sagging eyelid, it helps improve eyelid drooping. Because the power to open the eyes is enhanced, it prevents wrinkles on the forehead, and helps create a youthful, bright impression through natural and soft eye correction.

A sub-brow lift is a surgery that pulls sagging skin by making an incision directly beneath the eyebrow. Along with improving the aging phenomena that occur as the eyes droop, it helps address functional problems such as decreased vision caused by drooping eyelids.

Because saggy skin is removed after an incision under the eyebrows, fixed firmly to the periosteum, and then sutured after the skin is pulled tight, it helps create defined eyes even without double eyelid surgery. During this process, crow's feet, sagging eyelids, and double eyelids are naturally corrected as well, contributing to a youthful appearance.

Dark circles or bulging under-eye fat, which create a tired and dark impression, can be improved through lower blepharoplasty. Lower blepharoplasty addresses the fat around the eyes that droops due to aging through under-eye fat repositioning or removal, performed through an incision placed in a discreet area as close to the lower lash line as possible.

Skin and muscle are dissected through the incision site to remove unnecessary fat, and the lower orbicularis oculi muscle is fixed to the periosteum followed by a delicate suture. By repositioning and removing fat under the eyes, it brightens the under-eye area to help alleviate dark circles, and naturally improves under-eye aging by eliminating bulging or sagging fat and wrinkles.

In addition, the demand for face-lifting treatments capable of addressing overall facial aging continues steadily. Among them, Corage Cellfit is a representative non-surgical lifting procedure that activates the movement of skin cells using Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) energy to aid in skin regeneration.

Unlike conventional incisional lifting, Corage lifting using the Corage laser is not a procedure that mechanically pulls the skin, but one that promotes the skin's self-regeneration. As a result, resilient and healthy skin is formed from within, aiding in the improvement of skin texture and wrinkles, as well as the enhancement of skin scars such as acne or atopic dermatitis.

Director Kim Seong-hoon of Kim Sung Hoon Plastic Surgery Gangnam Branch stated, "As more middle-aged and older adults lead youthful, energetic lives these days, the demand for middle-aged plastic surgery to combat aging is also on the rise," adding, "Since middle-aged eye surgery must be performed considering both aesthetic and functional goals, rather than just focusing on price and cost, it is advisable to consult reviews and recommendations, and proceed at a clinic with a board-certified plastic surgeon possessing extensive clinical experience and technical skills."
