What Is Hooded Eye Surgery?

Hooded Eye Surgery is a procedure that improves the appearance of heavy upper eyelids by removing excess skin and, when necessary, adjusting underlying fat or muscle tissues. The goal is to create a clearer upper eyelid contour without making the eyes appear overcorrected. The surgical approach is selected according to the patient's eyelid structure, skin condition, and overall facial harmony.

Restoring Brighter, More Defined Eyes at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

Hooded eyelids can make the eyes appear smaller, heavier, or more tired due to excess skin that folds over the upper eyelid. While some people are born with hooded eyes, others develop them as part of the natural aging process. Hooded Eye Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to remove excess upper eyelid skin and improve eyelid definition while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each hooded eye surgery procedure is customized according to eyelid anatomy, skin elasticity, facial proportions, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on achieving balanced, refreshed results that enhance the eyes while preserving each patient's unique facial identity for both local and international patients.
