Middle-Age & Senior Blepharoplasty in Seoul, Korea

Who is Middle-Age & Senior Blepharoplasty for?
- Sagging lids narrow your vision and irritate the outer corners (often 50s–70s)
- Puffy, sagging lower lids make you look older than your age
- You want to look like yourself ten years ago, not different
How Middle-Age & Senior Blepharoplasty works
Aging affects the upper lid, brow and lower lid together. Treating only one area can leave the face looking unbalanced, so the procedures are planned as a set.
Mature skin and tissues are handled conservatively to avoid a surprised or harsh look, and lid support techniques are used for the lower lid.

Risks and side effects of Middle-Age & Senior Blepharoplasty
- Swelling and bruisingMost visible swelling settles in 1–2 weeks; the crease keeps softening for 1–3 months.
- Dry or irritated eyesTemporary dryness or a gritty feeling is common and is managed with lubricating drops.
- Lower lid pulling (ectropion)The lower lid can pull down if too much skin is removed; canthopexy and conservative excision reduce this risk.
All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.
