Overview

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s concerns.

Common reasons patients choose blepharoplasty include:

  • Drooping or heavy upper eyelids
  • Puffy under-eye bags
  • Tired or aged eye appearance
  • Obstructed vision from excess skin
  • Desire for a cleaner, more defined eye contour

Procedure

Types of Blepharoplasty in Korea

01

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess eyelid skin and fat to:

  • Open the eyes naturally
  • Reduce heaviness and sagging
  • Improve makeup application
  • Enhance visual clarity (in functional cases)

The incision is placed along the natural eyelid crease, making scars discreet.

02

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty targets:

  • Under-eye bags
  • Bulging fat
  • Loose or crepey lower eyelid skin

Depending on anatomy, the procedure may involve fat repositioning rather than removal to avoid a hollow appearance.

Why 1mm

Blepharoplasty at 1mm Plastic Surgery

At 1mm Plastic Surgery, blepharoplasty is customized based on:

Precision-Focused Eyelid Design

  • Eyelid thickness and elasticity
  • Eye shape and symmetry
  • Facial proportions and age
  • Desired level of change (subtle vs. defined)

Even a 1mm adjustment can significantly affect eye expression, which is why careful planning is essential.

04

Blepharoplasty vs. Double Eyelid Surgery

While often confused, these procedures serve different purposes:

  • Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat
  • Double eyelid surgery creates or stabilizes an eyelid crease

In many cases, blepharoplasty is combined with double eyelid surgery or ptosis correction for optimal results.

Recovery

Recovery & Healing Timeline

  1. Days 1–3:

    Swelling and mild bruising

  2. Days 5–7:

    Stitch removal (if incisional)

  3. Weeks 2–4:

    Swelling gradually subsides

  4. 1–3 months:

    Final eyelid contour settles

Most patients return to daily activities within 7–10 days.
