Upper Blepharoplasty in Seoul | Gangnam CDUPlastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids to create a more youthful and alert appearance. It is commonly performed for both cosmetic enhancement and functional improvement when sagging eyelids obstruct vision.

Common reasons for upper blepharoplasty include:

• Droopy or hooded eyelids due to aging
• Excess skin causing a tired or heavy appearance
• Vision obstruction from sagging upper eyelids
• Desire for a more defined eyelid crease

Dr. Kwon at Arc Plastic Surgery Clinic specializes in natural-looking upper eyelid surgery tailored to each patient’s facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Am I a Good Candidate for Upper Blepharoplasty?

You may be a good candidate if:

• You have sagging or droopy upper eyelids
• Your eyelid skin folds over your lash line, affecting vision
• You want to achieve a more refreshed, youthful eye appearance
• You are in good overall health with realistic expectations
• A consultation with Dr. Kwon will determine the best approach for your unique eyelid structure and aesthetic preferences.

Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure

Upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Key Steps of the Procedure:

• Precise incision along the natural eyelid crease to minimize scarring
• Removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle if necessary
• Reshaping and lifting of the upper eyelid for a natural look
• Fine suturing to ensure a smooth, well-defined eyelid contour

Dr. Kwon ensures meticulous attention to detail, creating results that look refreshed and harmonious with your facial features.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild swelling and bruising for 5–7 days
• Stitches are removed around day 5–7
• Most patients return to work and daily activities within 7–10 days
