What Is the Difference Between Upper Blepharoplasty and Double Eyelid Surgery?

-

 


“If your upper eyelids are drooping, is removing excess skin enough?”

As we age, our eyes may appear smaller, and our gaze can look heavier or more tired. If you find yourself raising your forehead to open your eyes or notice that your double eyelid crease has become less defined, age-related drooping of the upper eyelid skin may be the cause.

Upper Blepharoplasty vs. Double Eyelid Surgery: What’s the Difference?

Upper blepharoplasty is designed to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids, while double eyelid surgery creates a new eyelid crease.

If your existing crease is well-defined and remains visible, upper blepharoplasty alone may be sufficient in some cases. However, if the crease has become less noticeable with age, your surgeon may recommend combining the two procedures.






Why Combine Upper Blepharoplasty with Double Eyelid Surgery?

Upper blepharoplasty alone can help make the eyelids feel lighter. Creating a double eyelid crease as well may make the eyes appear more open and the overall expression look fresher. In some cases, combining the procedures may help maintain the desired result for longer.

At SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic, our surgeon may recommend combining upper blepharoplasty with double eyelid surgery based on each patient’s individual anatomy and needs.

What If You Don’t Want a Double Eyelid Crease?

If you wish to correct only the drooping skin while preserving your eyes’ natural appearance without creating a new crease, upper blepharoplasty alone may be an option.

When choosing the appropriate procedure, it is important to consider the degree of skin laxity, the existing eyelid crease, eyebrow position, and the strength of the muscles that lift the eyelids. The most suitable approach can be determined during a consultation with the surgeon.

Eyelid rejuvenation surgery is one of the main specialties of SHE’S Plastic Surgery Clinic. Our chief surgeon, Dr. Kim Kyung-ho, has 25 years of clinical experience.
