[Vegan News = Reporter Lee Yong-hak] With the progress of an aging society, the number of middle-aged people seeking a youthful and healthy life even as they age is gradually increasing. They are making efforts to maintain a youthful appearance with more elasticity by improving skin that has become sagging and loose due to aging.

One of the most popular cosmetic procedures among middle-aged people recently is middle-aged eye surgery. They prioritize a transformation into a younger and more vibrant image, going beyond simply improving sagging and drooping eyelids.

In fact, as we age, the eyes easily sag and lose elasticity, making us look older than our actual age. The facial expression itself may also appear tired and sleepy. Symptoms such as drooping eyelids, protruding fat under the eyes, and dark circles become more pronounced, and if the drooping eyelids obstruct vision or the skin wrinkles, it can cause inconvenience in daily life.

In such cases, both aesthetic and functional aspects can be improved simultaneously through various plastic surgeries, such as upper and lower eyelid surgery, eyebrow lifting, and forehead lifting.

Upper eyelid surgery is a procedure that improves eyelid sagging by excising drooping eyelid tissue and correcting the orbicularis oculi muscle. It can be applied in cases where drooping eyelid tissue causes eyelashes to irritate the eye, leading to frequent tearing, swelling, and skin irritation, or when the drooping eyelids obstruct vision.

Lower eyelid surgery is a procedure that removes and repositions sagging skin and protruding fat caused by aging. The procedure involves making an incision in the lower eyelid area, excising the excess skin and fat, evenly distributing the remaining fat, firmly fixing the muscles, and suturing the area.

Brow lift is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision along the border of the eyebrow, removing excess skin and subcutaneous fat through the lower part of the eyebrow, and then lifting and suturing the sagging upper eyelid.

However, since eye tissue is composed of a complex structure, if eye surgery is performed by medical professionals who do not accurately understand the anatomical structure of the skin, patients may experience side effects such as difficulty closing the eyes or a fierce facial expression.

In a written interview with this publication, Director Kim Hong-jin of 1mm Plastic Surgery stated, “Middle-aged eye surgery is a delicate procedure that requires consideration of not only aesthetic aspects but also functional ones,” adding, “Middle-aged eye surgery must be performed through consultation with highly skilled medical professionals and precise examinations to ensure high satisfaction after the surgery.”
