Middle-Age Eye (Middle-Age Eye)
Excess eyelid skin, muscle and fat are removed and the field of vision obscured by the drooping lid is restored, for a clearer, more open and youthful eye area.
Middle-Age Eye, In short?
Upper blepharoplasty removes the skin, muscle and fat of a drooping lid to restore the obscured field of vision and settle a clearer, more open and youthful eye area. Opening the eyes becomes easier without straining the forehead or brows, which also helps prevent lines there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the upper blepharoplasty scar visible?
Because the incision follows the crease, the scar hides inside the fold and is barely visible.
Does insurance apply?
Where lid sagging limits the field of vision, national health insurance may apply. We check at consultation.
From what age can upper blepharoplasty be done?
It depends on the degree of lid sagging rather than age; where sagging is pronounced, it can be done from the forties.
Should upper blepharoplasty and ptosis correction be done together?
Where ptosis is also present, combining upper blepharoplasty with ptosis correction can be expected to bring a better-settled result. The decision follows detailed assessment.
After surgery, can the eye become hard to close?
Avoiding over-excision of skin and operating precisely keeps such side effects down.
