When the upper eyelid skin loosens with age, the eyes can look heavy and tired — and in some cases the sagging skin even narrows the field of vision. NewDay Plastic Surgery in Seoul addresses this with upper blepharoplasty designed around each patient’s eye shape.
What the surgery corrects
Upper blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, and where needed adjusts muscle and fat, so the eyelid line sits cleanly again. Depending on the case it can be combined with ptosis correction when the eye-opening muscle itself has weakened — a distinction the surgeon confirms during examination.
NewDay’s approach: natural over dramatic
The goal is not a different eye shape but a refreshed version of the patient’s own. Incision lines are planned along the natural crease so scars settle discreetly, and the amount of correction is calibrated to preserve natural expression when blinking and smiling.
Recovery timeline
Swelling and bruising are most visible in the first week, with stitches typically removed within a week of surgery. Most patients resume everyday activities shortly after, while final lines settle over the following months. Suitability is confirmed at an in-person consultation.
International patients can arrange consultations at NewDay Plastic Surgery through Clinic in Korea.
