“The Upper Eyelid Surgery Which Improves Sagging Eyes, The Fundamental Cause Needs to Be Improved”

The eye is the area that receives more and more attention than other areas. If you have wrinkles or dull skin around your eyes, you may look older and have a distinctly different impression.

The aging symptoms that appear in the eyes are drooping eyelids, drooping under the eyes, and under eye fat protrusion, which give the overall impression a dull, dark look, and makes you look older than your actual age.

 

These symptoms start to become visible from the middle ages. The eyelids gradually droop due to aging, and the sagging skin is accompanied by functional problems such as blocking the vision of the pupil and causing vision loss.

In addition, eyelashes droop and keep poking the eyes, and there is a high possibility that the surrounding skin will be damaged due to the tears.

 

Therefore, sagging eye symptoms can be improved through an upper eyelid surgery to improve eye shape deformation and obstruction of vision.

It is a simple surgery to pull and fix drooping eyelids, but professional medical staff explain that in order to do it properly, 

the fundamental cause of drooping eyelids must be clearly identified to prevent recurrence and increase satisfaction.

 

The cause of drooping eyelids is the Orbicularis oculi muscle

It is a muscle that closes by tightening the eyelids when closing the eyes, and is surrounded in a circular shape around the eyes. 

When the elasticity of the orbital muscle decreases, the skin and fat surrounding it along with the muscles droop, and sagging begins from the eyelids, which is the weakest part.

As a result, the shape of the eyes may be deformed into a triangle-like shape as the anterior root of the eyes and the tail of the eyes droop.

 

Therefore, it is important to focus fundamentally on correcting the orbicularis oculi muscle during the upper eyelid surgery. 

First, sagging skin and unnecessary fat is removed, then the orbicularis oculi muscle is improved by pulling the muscles properly to firmly fix them in the appropriate position. 

After that, you can make a double eyelid line and suture it to make the eyes look natural without awkwardness.

 

Doctor Nam Dong Woo from DA Plastic Surgery, said, The upper eyelid surgery is not fully effective if only the sagging skin is resected and pulled, there is a high possibility of recurrence because the muscles are not corrected. 

We need to focus on reducing recurrence and providing natural eyes by improving the fundamental causes through proper skin resection and orthodontic correction.

The upper eyelid surgery should be based on close consultation and surgery with specialized medical staff so that individual skin thickness and sagging of the eye muscle can proceed with a 1:1 customized solution.
