Upper blepharoplasty at NANA Plastic Surgery
More effective through personalized correction of the cause! As we age, the eyelids droop, hiding the double eyelid line, and the outer corners of the eyes become covered by skin, making the eyes look droopy and obstructing vision. In addition, using the forehead to open the eyes can create deep forehead wrinkles. At NANA Plastic Surgery, we remove loose skin from the upper eyelids along with excess fat and tissue, and strengthen the weakened muscle to resolve the fundamental cause. We complete a more natural eye shape for young, lively-looking eyes.
Maximized efficiency through personalized correction of the cause
Analysis of the fundamental cause of sagging By treating the cause of eyelid drooping, we can improve not only the eye shape but also functional problems such as eyelashes poking the eyes, vision obstruction, and weak eye-opening strength.

When the eyelids droop due to reduced skin elasticity, part of the skin that has lost elasticity is excised and the muscle within the eyelid is fixed, improving drooping eyelids to bright, sharp eyes.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
Why do the eyelids look puffy and the impression look harsh after upper blepharoplasty?
After surgery, the eyes open more widely than before, so you naturally
stop using your forehead and the eyebrows drop lower. The more skin
sagging there is, the more skin is excised, and because the lower skin
is thin while the upper skin is thick, the difference in skin thickness
after suturing can make the upper eyelid look thick and unnatural.
In such cases, we recommend a brow lift rather than upper blepharoplasty.
At NANA Plastic Surgery, we assess the degree of skin sagging and the
structure of the eyes and help create youthful eyes with the surgical
method suited to each case.

NANA's guide to
precautions after eye surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
Washing your hair and showering are possible from the day after surgery, but be careful not to let water touch the wound.Please be careful, as straining your eyes may cause pooled blood to come out. Eye makeup and contact lenses are possible after 4 weeks. To prevent the double eyelid from loosening or changing shape, avoid eye makeup for one month, and contact lenses, which can irritate the conjunctiva, can be worn after one month.
02
Recovery
Conjunctival swelling or redness may occur after surgery.Conjunctival swelling (the conjunctiva appears white and swollen) or redness may occur after surgery. These symptoms resolve naturally within 2–4 weeks and are common after surgery, so there is no need to worry. A temporary increase in tearing or eye discharge is also a common reaction after surgery and improves over time.
03
Swelling care
Swelling subsides over 3–6 months after surgery.It is normal for swelling to appear asymmetrical, as the two sides may swell or subside differently. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery while the face is swollen. They help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
Wound care
Care for the area with eye ointment and eye drops.Apply a thin layer of eye ointment to the surgical site morning and evening using a clean cotton swab. If you were prescribed eye drops, apply them to the conjunctiva 2–3 times a day. Small white milia the size of millet grains may form along the incision line after surgery, but they disappear naturally over time. However, if they have not disappeared after 3 months, they can be simply removed at the clinic depending on their condition.
05
Alcohol & smoking
Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend avoiding them for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is higher than your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not sleep on your side or on your stomach; sleep facing the ceiling.
