Eye Rejuvenation in Gangnam Seoul Korea | 1mm Plastic Surgery

Eye rejuvenation is a comprehensive approach to restoring a younger, brighter, and more refreshed appearance around the eyes. At 1mm Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, Korea, eye rejuvenation is customized according to each patient's age, eyelid anatomy, skin quality, muscle function, and facial proportions. Treatment may include upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, fat repositioning, fat grafting, brow lifting, or revision eyelid surgery to address drooping eyelids, eye bags, hollow eyes, wrinkles, and tired-looking eyes. Aging around the eyes often involves excess skin, muscle weakening, fat redistribution, and volume loss, requiring a personalized treatment plan rather than a single procedure. 

What Is Eye Rejuvenation?

Eye rejuvenation refers to surgical and non-surgical procedures designed to improve age-related changes around the eyes.

The goals include:

  • Brighter-looking eyes
  • More youthful appearance
  • Improved eyelid contour
  • Reduced eye bags
  • Better eye opening
  • Smoother skin around the eyes
  • Improved facial harmony

The eyes are often one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging.

Common Signs of Eye Aging

Drooping Upper Eyelids

As skin stretches and muscles weaken, excess skin can accumulate over the upper eyelids.

This may cause:

  • Heavy-looking eyes
  • Tired appearance
  • Hooded eyelids
  • Reduced upper eyelid definition

Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most common treatments for this concern.

Ptosis

Ptosis occurs when the eyelid-opening muscle weakens and allows the upper eyelid to droop.

Symptoms may include:

  • Smaller-looking eyes
  • Sleepy appearance
  • Uneven eye opening
  • Forehead strain
  • Visual obstruction

Ptosis correction can improve both function and aesthetics.

Under-Eye Bags

Aging may cause weakening of supporting tissues and protrusion of orbital fat.

This may create:

  • Puffy under-eyes
  • Tired appearance
  • Shadowing beneath the eyes

Lower blepharoplasty and fat repositioning are commonly used to address these concerns.

Hollow Eyes

Volume loss around the eyes can create:

  • Sunken appearance
  • Deep upper eyelid folds
  • Tear trough deformities
  • Older-looking eyes

Volume restoration may be recommended for suitable patients.

Eye Rejuvenation Procedures

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and addresses excess tissue in the upper eyelids.

Benefits include:

  • More open eyes
  • Improved eyelid contour
  • Younger appearance
  • Better visual field in selected patients


Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery focuses on:

  • Eye bags
  • Puffiness
  • Under-eye contour irregularities
  • Loose lower eyelid skin

Modern techniques often preserve and reposition fat rather than simply removing it.

Ptosis Correction

Ptosis correction improves eyelid-opening strength and can create:

  • Larger-looking eyes
  • Better symmetry
  • Brighter appearance
  • Reduced eyelid heaviness


Fat Grafting

Fat grafting may improve:

  • Hollow upper eyelids
  • Tear troughs
  • Volume loss
  • Deep eye contours

The goal is to restore youthful fullness while maintaining natural proportions.

Brow Lift

In selected patients, eyebrow descent contributes significantly to upper eyelid aging.

A brow lift may improve:

  • Hooded eyelids
  • Forehead heaviness
  • Outer eyelid drooping
