What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
The skin around the eyes is thin, causing aging to progress more quickly than in other areas.
As the upper eyelids droop, they can block your field of vision,
and you may compensate by raising your eyebrows—deepening forehead wrinkles over time.
At Retmus Plastic Surgery, upper blepharoplasty removes sagging,
stretched eyelid skin and excess fat caused by aging.
This procedure creates a natural double-eyelid line that harmonizes
with each individual’s eye shape, resulting in a brighter, clearer,
and more youthful appearance.

Key Advantages
The Difference of
Retmus Upper Blepharoplastyby Dr. Chung
- Youthful Appearance
- This is a highly advanced procedure that requires a detailed understanding of the eyelid’s aging condition and surrounding tissues. By creating a customized surgical design and correcting eyelid drooping, the eyes are rejuvenated with a naturally youthful look.
- Sharper, More Defined Eyes
- By analyzing eye shape, the distance and length of the eyes, and evaluating factors such as ptosis and eyelid sagging—as well as the surrounding muscles and fat—Retmus creates a clearer, more defined eye appearance.
- Functional Improvement
- By reinforcing the levator muscle weakened by aging and drooping eyelids, the procedure addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns, resulting in brighter, more energetic-looking eyes.

Postoperative Precautions
Here are some important guidelines to follow after surgery.
- Q.
-
# Upper BlepharoplastyPatient
Is there a specific reason why my eyelids are drooping?
-
# Upper BlepharoplastyRetmus Plastic Surgery
The eyelids are among the thinnest skin areas
in the body and contain minimal subcutaneous fat.
As we age, the loss of skin elasticity can lead to ptosis(drooping eyelids).
In severe cases, the eyelashes may irritate the eyes or cause abrasions,
and heavy eyelids can obstruct vision, sometimes leading to decreased eyesight. - A.
- Q.
-
# Upper BlepharoplastyPatient
I’ve heard that my expression can look harsher after upper eyelid surgery. Is that true?
-
# Upper BlepharoplastyRetmus Plastic Surgery
The eyelid skin is thin near the eyelashes but becomes thicker toward the upper area.
If the thin skin is excessively removed, the thicker skin above may descend,
making the expression appear stronger or harsher.
To prevent this, we recommend minimizing the removal of thin skin
and, for the remaining sagging skin, performing a combined procedure with a brow lift. - A.
