What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper eyelids and, when necessary, adjusts underlying fat or muscle tissues to improve both appearance and eyelid function. The surgical technique is customized based on the amount of excess skin, eyelid thickness, muscle strength, and overall facial balance.

Rejuvenating Heavy Upper Eyelids at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon

As the skin naturally loses elasticity with age, the upper eyelids may begin to sag, making the eyes appear tired, heavy, or older than they feel. Upper Blepharoplasty is a specialized eyelid rejuvenation procedure designed to remove excess skin and reshape the upper eyelids, creating a brighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance.

At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, every upper blepharoplasty procedure is personalized according to the patient's eyelid anatomy, skin quality, facial proportions, and aesthetic goals. The clinic emphasizes natural-looking outcomes that refresh the eyes while preserving each patient's unique facial characteristics for both local and international patients.

Ask on WhatsApp →
What is the difference between Upper Blepharoplasty and Double Eyelid Surgery?
Upper Blepharoplasty primarily removes excess skin and rejuvenates the upper eyelids, while Double Eyelid Surgery creates or enhances an upper eyelid crease. In some cases, both procedures may be performed together for comprehensive improvement.
Will Upper Blepharoplasty leave visible scars?
Incisions are usually placed within the natural upper eyelid crease, allowing scars to become less noticeable as healing progresses.
How long should international patients stay in Busan?
Most international patients stay around 7–10 days for follow-up appointments and early recovery monitoring before returning home.
Can Upper Blepharoplasty be combined with other eye procedures?
Yes. Depending on individual concerns, it may be combined with ptosis correction, double eyelid surgery, lower blepharoplasty, or other eye rejuvenation procedures.
