As plastic surgery becomes more popular, middle-aged people's interest in facial rejuvenation surgery is also rapidly increasing. As the period of social life has become longer than in the past, many people in their 50s, 60s or older are considering various procedures and plastic surgery to maintain a youthful image. In particular, in May, the number of customers visiting with their children is increasing in celebration of Family Month and Parents' Day.When we reach middle age, aging begins to appear in many parts of the body. In particular, the area around the eyes, where the skin is thin and has few sebaceous glands, is the area where aging is first evident. Saggy eyelids and fat under the eyes make the tired and aged look worse. This not only causes stress about appearance, but can also cause functional discomfort such as obstructed vision and skin irritation and soreness around the eyes.
As sagging eyelids and bulging or sunken fat under the eyes due to aging affect not only appearance but also quality of life, the number of middle-aged patients visiting plastic surgery to improve the area around the eyes is steadily increasing every year.
Representative middle-aged eye plastic surgery to improve changes in the eyelids and eyes due to aging include upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and lower eyebrow lift.
Upper blepharoplasty is a method of removing sagging skin of the upper eyelid and correcting sagging muscles. Through this, the appearance of the eyes can become more defined, and it can also be expected to have the effect of relieving wrinkles caused by eyelashes poking the eyes or the habit of opening the eyes with the forehead.
Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions the sagging skin and bulging fat under the eyes, creating smooth and firm under-eye lines. This improves under-eye bags and tired-looking impressions typical of middle age, allowing for a bright and lively appearance.
Subbrow lift surgery involves making an incision along the border below the eyebrow and lifting the sagging muscles and skin. Additionally, you can expect the effect of naturally revealing the hidden double eyelid line and refreshingly opening the eyes.
Park Hyungjoon, Chief Medical Director of JAYJUN Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, said, “Middle-aged eye surgery is a relatively simple method of improving the appearance and relieving poking eyebrow hairs and irritated, sore skin, etc., but a customized approach that comprehensively considers the individual's eye characteristics and skin, fat, and muscle conditions is important. Additionally, there are many aspects that must be different from eye surgery for younger people, so please make a decision on surgery after personalized consultation and thorough diagnosis through experienced medical staff.”
