Patients considering upper eyelid surgery usually arrive with the same handful of questions. Here is how they are typically answered at NewDay Plastic Surgery in Seoul — worth reading before your consultation.
Is this the same as double eyelid surgery?
No. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease; upper blepharoplasty removes excess drooping tissue. They can be combined when both aims apply, but the starting problem differs — one is about line design, the other about sagging. Which applies to you is settled by examination.
Blepharoplasty or brow lift?
When heaviness comes from a descended brow rather than eyelid skin itself, lifting the brow may serve better than removing eyelid tissue. The surgeon assesses where the laxity actually originates before recommending either — or a combination.
What about scars and downtime?
Incisions follow the natural crease, so settled scars are hidden when eyes are open. Stitches come out within about a week; visible swelling eases over one to two weeks. International patients typically plan around a week or more in Seoul for surgery plus follow-up.
