Mature Eye Surgery

Remove what covers, restore what sags

As we age, eyelid skin stretches, under-eye fat protrudes, and brows and forehead may droop. Mature eye surgery assesses these changes and proceeds by selecting or combining necessary procedures such as upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or brow lift. The goal is not to enlarge the eyes but to restore the original eye shape, regain comfortable vision, and a bright appearance. The scope and results of surgery vary by individual and are decided after consultation.

Upper blepharoplasty is considered when the upper eyelid skin sags due to aging, covering the eyes. Sagging eyelids can narrow the field of vision, causing eye fatigue, and habitual forehead muscle use to lift the eyes can deepen forehead wrinkles. PIAF Clinic refines excess skin and fat along the natural eyelid crease to ensure comfortable vision and a defined eye shape. The incision is designed to be hidden within the crease when the eyes are open. Recovery speed and results may vary by individual.

Diagram of lower blepharoplasty incision range

Lower blepharoplasty is a procedure addressing under-eye sagging, wrinkles, protruding fat, and resulting shadows (dark circle-like shadows). With age, the tissue supporting the lower eyelid weakens, causing fat to protrude and skin to stretch. PIAF Clinic approaches through the crease below the eyelashes or the conjunctiva (inside the eye) to reposition protruding fat to hollow areas and appropriately refine excess skin. The focus is on smoothing the under-eye contour rather than removing fat indiscriminately. The approach and results vary by individual.

Brow lift is a procedure that involves making an incision along the boundary just below the eyebrows to remove and lift sagging skin on the outer eyelid. It is considered for those whose eyes are covered more by drooping brows and forehead than the eyelids themselves, or for those who want to refine their eye shape without double eyelid surgery. The incision is designed to be within the boundary of the eyebrow hair to minimize visible scarring, lifting the outer sagging to brighten a previously heavy appearance. Whether to combine with upper blepharoplasty and the degree of lifting is decided through consultation, with results varying by individual.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Q.What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and brow lift?
Upper blepharoplasty refines sagging skin along the eyelid crease, while brow lift involves an incision just below the eyebrows to lift outer sagging. The suitable method depends on the degree of brow droop and presence of double eyelids, determined during consultation.
Q.Does lower blepharoplasty remove all under-eye fat?
Not all fat is removed. The priority is repositioning protruding fat to smoothen contours, with some fat refined only if necessary. The method is decided based on individual under-eye conditions.
Q.How much scarring will there be?
Incisions are planned in less visible areas like eyelid creases, inside the conjunctiva, or brow boundaries. Initially, red lines may be visible but typically fade over time, with variations by individual.
