Type of Eye Surgery in Korea

1. Double Eyelid Surgery

Double eyelid surgery has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in Korea, renowned for creating a clear and strong eyelid line that enhances the eyes’ natural beauty. At Made Young, we offer personalized double eyelid surgeries tailored to each individual’s unique features, ensuring harmony with your overall facial aesthetics.

Double eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, involves creating a defined crease in the upper eyelid. This procedure can make the eyes appear larger and more open, providing a refreshed and vibrant look. People opt for this surgery for both aesthetic reasons and functional benefits, such as reducing eyelid heaviness.

Why Choose Made Young?

At Made Young, our expertise lies in creating results that look natural yet striking. We offer two primary techniques to suit different needs and preferences:

1. Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

• Ideal For: Individuals with heavier eyelids or those seeking a permanent solution.
• Procedure: This involves making a small incision to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle. It’s a more comprehensive approach that ensures a well-defined, lasting double eyelid line.
• Benefits: Provides long-term results with a robust eyelid crease.

2. Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery

• Ideal For: Those looking for a less invasive option with a quicker recovery.
• Technique: The procedure uses a natural adhesion method, creating the eyelid line without significant cuts.
• Benefits: Offers a subtle, natural appearance with minimal scarring.

The Procedure Overview

• Duration: Around 1-2 hours in the operating room.
• Anesthesia: Conducted under conscious sedation for comfort.
• Recovery: Patients are typically discharged on the same day, with stitches removed after 5-7 days. Most people resume normal activities within a week.

Customized Designs Just for You

We understand that everyone’s eyes are unique, so we offer customizable designs:

• In-Line: A subtle line hidden by the inner corner for a natural look.
• In-Out-Line: A narrow start that widens towards the outer eye for added drama.
• Out-Line: A bold line at the outer corner for standout results.

Who is the Ideal Candidate?

• Excess Eyelid Fat: Perfect for those needing fat reduction for clearer lines.
• Severe Eyelid Drooping: Corrected to enhance eyelid lift and shape.
• Desire for Durable Results: Ideal for long-lasting, non-loosening lines.
• Tired Appearance: Revitalizes eyes that appear constantly fatigued.
• Revision Surgeries: Excellent for correcting previous procedures.

2. Ptosis Correction

Are your droopy eyelids making you appear tired or less alert? Ptosis correction may be the ideal solution for you, offering a path to refreshed and vibrant eyes. Known as the premier choice for any eye type, our approach combines precision with personalized care.

Ptosis correction addresses droopy eyelids caused by weakened eye-opening muscles. This condition, known as ptosis, can affect both aesthetics and eye function. At Made Young, we customize ptosis correction for different eye types to achieve optimal results with minimal intervention.

Understanding Ptosis and Pseudoptosis

• True Ptosis: Requires surgical intervention to correct significant muscle weakness in the eyelids. Without this, drooping persists, giving a perpetually tired appearance.
• Pseudoptosis: The eyelids seem droopy despite normal muscle function, often due to excess skin. In such cases, a less invasive double eyelid surgery might suffice.

Why Choose Made Young?

Our technique focuses on tailored solutions that enhance natural beauty while improving function. Here’s how we do it:

1. Non-Incisional Ptosis Correction

This technique involves creating a crease in the eyelid without making a large incision, using sutures to lift and support the eyelid. It’s ideal for cases with minimal sagging and fat, offering quicker recovery and minimal scarring.

• Ideal For: Thin eyelids, mild sagging, minimal eyelid fat.
• Benefits: Quick recovery, reduced scarring, and less invasive approach.

2. Incisional Ptosis Correction

This method requires making an incision to remove excess skin, fat, and reconfigure the eyelid muscles for significant lifting. It’s suitable for more severe cases of ptosis and provides long-lasting results, especially for thicker eyelids.

• Ideal For: Thicker eyelids, significant sagging, more eyelid fat.
• Benefits: Comprehensive results for severe cases, offering long-lasting transformation.

Scar minimization is achieved through advanced techniques that focus on reducing tissue damage during surgery. This careful execution ensures that any resulting scars are nearly invisible, even when the eyes are closed.

Improving the facial image involves adjusting the eye-opening muscles to enhance their function. By doing so, it reduces the strain on the forehead muscles often used to keep the eyes open, leading to a more relaxed and natural facial expression. As a result, these corrections contribute to a smoother and more youthful appearance, effectively addressing issues like sagging and drooping.

3. Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty

At Made Young in Korea, our advanced blepharoplasty procedures are crafted to enhance both the aesthetics and function of your eyes. We offer two primary types: upper blepharoplasty, which addresses droopy eyelids, and lower blepharoplasty, which targets under-eye bags and dark circles. Both procedures deliver natural, rejuvenating results with minimal scarring, thanks to our team of skilled plastic surgeons.

Upper blepharoplasty is designed to improve both the look and functionality of the eyes by correcting droopy eyelids. This involves tightening loose skin and muscles to enhance vision and rejuvenate the eyelid’s appearance. At Made Young, patients can opt for either incisional or non-incisional methods based on individual needs. The incisional technique is ideal for those with severe sagging, thick skin, or excess fat, while the non-incisional approach suits those with mild drooping and thinner skin.

Addressing droopy eyelids is crucial, as neglecting them can lead to blurred vision, potential eyesight deterioration, persistent droopiness, and impact on interactions. Protecting your eye health and appearance is vital for both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Incisional vs. Non-Incisional Upper Blepharoplasty

At Made Young Clinic, we provide precise techniques tailored to individual needs, ensuring effective and personalized results.

• Incisional Upper Blepharoplasty is comprehensive, ideal for significant eyelid concerns. It involves carefully placed incisions to blend with natural creases, addressing severe sagging, thick skin, and excess fat.
• Non-Incisional Upper Blepharoplasty is minimally invasive, perfect for those seeking subtle enhancements. It involves no incisions, making it an attractive choice for concerns about visible marks, addressing mild sagging, thin skin, and minimal fat.

Lower Blepharoplasty: Revitalizing the Under-Eye Area

Lower blepharoplasty focuses on enhancing the under-eye area by removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening skin. This procedure tackles issues like under-eye bags, sagging skin, and dark circles, delivering natural, lasting results.

The process involves assessing problem areas, making minimal incisions, expertly removing or relocating fat, and tightening muscles and skin to smooth wrinkles and enhance elasticity. The result is clear, fresh eyes with restored vitality.

Results from blepharoplasty include a more natural and youthful appearance, improved skin tightness, and diminished dark circles. Recovery is relatively quick, with initial recovery in about a week and full results in a month.

Blepharoplasty at Made Young is recommended for individuals concerned about dark circles, sagging skin, tired-looking eyes, vision issues from droopy eyelids, and those who overuse forehead muscles leading to wrinkles. Embrace a rejuvenated appearance and improved function with our expert care.

4. Canthoplasty

Canthoplasty at Made Young in Korea is a transformative procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the eyes by altering the outer corners, or canthi. Ideal for individuals with shorter or narrower eye widths or those seeking a more open and refreshed appearance, our canthoplasty procedures are meticulously customized to align with the unique facial proportions and aesthetic goals of each patient.

Types of Canthoplasty at Made Young

• Epicanthoplasty: Targets the inner corners of the eyes to reduce Mongolian folds, making the eyes appear larger and more open and enhancing overall facial symmetry.
• Upper Slit: Focuses on adjusting the upper eyelid’s height and contour, ideal for those desiring a more defined eyelid crease for brighter, more expressive eyes.
• Rear Opening: Aims at elongating the eye shape by targeting the outer corners, correcting droopy lids, and creating a youthful, vibrant look.
• Bottom Slit: Enhances the lower eyelid by reducing excess skin and refining its contour, perfect for achieving a softer, smoother appearance.

Customized eye enhancement ensures surgery is tailored to your specific facial proportions, creating harmonious, naturally beautiful eyes. Advanced techniques result in minimal scarring, with procedures performed using minimal incisions to preserve skin integrity. Our methods are crafted for long-lasting results by preventing post-surgical adhesion and maintaining surgical integrity over time.

Our expert aesthetic team comprises highly skilled plastic surgeons committed to achieving your unique vision, using their extensive knowledge to transform your eyes beautifully.

When Incision Plastic Surgery is Needed:

• When eye width is limited, incision surgery can enhance horizontal length for a balanced look.
• If Mongolian folds restrict the eyes, surgery opens them up for a more refreshed appearance.
• For raised eye corners that create a harsh look, adjusting the angle with surgery results in a softer expression.
• If eyes still appear small after double eyelid surgery, further enhancement can achieve the desired effect.

5. Dark Circle Removal

Concerned about the dark, bulging areas under your eyes that give you a tired appearance? Made Young Plastic Surgery offers specialized dark circle removal treatments to leave you with vibrant and luminous eyes. We consider factors such as under-eye fat, tear trough shape, skin thickness, and eyeball protrusion to provide effective, lasting solutions.

Our approach focuses on preventing problem recurrence by strengthening the orbital septum, a crucial membrane supporting the under-eye area. By removing tear trough ligament adhesions, we smoothen the area, reducing hollows and dark shadows. Our method involves minimal scarring, with surgery performed through the conjunctiva inside the eye, ensuring discreet and quick recovery.

Dark Circle Procedure Steps

1. Evaluation and Preparation: Thorough assessment to determine individual needs.
2. Incision of the Conjunctiva: Precise internal incisions minimize visibility.
3. Removal and Relocation of Fat: Unnecessary fat is removed or repositioned for a smooth contour.
4. Achieving Lively Eyes: Post-surgery, eyes appear more awake, youthful, and vibrant.

Effects of Dark Circle Removal

• Wrinkle Relief: Enhances natural beauty by addressing eye area wrinkles.
• Dark Circle and Dullness Elimination: Effectively reduces dark circles and dullness.
• Custom Tailored Surgery: Each patient receives a personalized surgical plan for optimal results.
• No Need for Stitch Removal: Minimally invasive techniques eliminate the need for stitches.

Consider this transformative procedure if you have bulging under-eye fat, tired-looking eyes, dark circles, fine wrinkles, or if you desire bright, lively, and youthful eyes.

At Made Young, we analyze each patient’s condition to tailor treatments effectively, assessing factors like skin sagging, fat protrusion, and tear furrows. Discover clearer, more vibrant eyes with our expert care.
