Recommended For
If any of the following apply to you,
Upper Blepharoplasty may be the right solution for you.
Drooping eyelids that
obstruct your field of vision
Double eyelid crease buried
and eyes appearing smaller due to sagging
Forehead wrinkles caused by
using brow muscles to open eyes
Skin irritation or maceration
caused by sagging upper eyelids
Eyelashes poking the eye
due to downward-rolling eyelid skin
Severe lateral eyelid drooping
causing reduced visual acuity
Why Pleasure
Achieve definitive correction of drooping eyelids
and complete a young, beautiful eye appearance.
By firmly securing the levator palpebrae superioris — the primary cause of drooping — we achieve fundamental correction of upper eyelid ptosis.
Our board-certified plastic surgeon evaluates overall facial harmony and selects materials tailored to each patient's individual characteristics, ensuring a result that is naturally harmonious with the face.
By avoiding excessive tissue removal and keeping surgery time short, swelling is minimized and patients return to their daily routines quickly.
When aging causes eyelid skin to lose elasticity and sag, functional problems such as visual obstruction, reduced visual acuity, redness, and skin maceration can also develop — all of which can be corrected surgically.
Approach Comparison
Standard Upper Blepharoplasty vs Pleasure Customized Upper Blepharoplasty
| Category | Standard Upper Blepharoplasty | ✦ Pleasure Customized Upper Blepharoplasty |
|---|---|---|
| Surgical Method | Focused on excising drooping eyelid skin | Corrects orbicularis oculi & levator palpebrae together |
| Root Cause | Addresses skin sagging only | Corrects the root cause — orbicularis oculi drooping |
| Scope of Improvement | Focused on aesthetic improvement | Simultaneously improves aesthetic and functional issues |
| Direction of Change | Risk of over-correction exists | Natural result harmonized with the face, without over-correction |
| Recurrence Prevention | Possibility of recurrence exists | Recurrence prevented by resolving the root cause |
The surgical approach may vary depending on individual eyelid condition and degree of drooping. The optimal method will be determined following an in-person consultation.
Custom Cases
We create eyes that are naturally beautiful
and harmonious with the face — not dramatically altered.
BEFORE
AFTER
A case where drooping eyelids have narrowed the visual field, causing a heavy, constricted feeling.
The levator palpebrae superioris is firmly secured to correct drooping eyelids. Visual field is restored alongside a defined, clear eye appearance.
BEFORE
AFTER
A case where sagging eyelid skin covers the double eyelid crease, making the eyes appear smaller.
The double eyelid crease height is adjusted while excess sagging skin is excised. A defined double eyelid and refreshed eye appearance are achieved.
BEFORE
AFTER
A case where the forehead muscles are used unconsciously to open the eyes, gradually deepening forehead wrinkles.
Levator palpebrae function is restored so the eyes open naturally without brow assistance. Reduction of forehead wrinkles can also be expected as a result.
BEFORE
AFTER
A case where sagging eyelid skin causes lashes to curl inward and poke the eye.
The drooping eyelid skin and orbicularis oculi are corrected together to realign lash direction. Relief from the poking sensation and a comfortable eye are achieved.
Surgery Process
Upper Blepharoplasty lifts sagging eyelid skin and muscles upward,
creating a refreshed, defined eye appearance while improving both aesthetic and functional concerns.
The individual eye shape, degree of drooping, and overall eyelid condition are evaluated and a surgical design is planned.
An incision is made along the pre-designed line, and sagging eyelid skin and fatty tissue are removed and excised.
Sagging eyelid tissue is excised and the levator palpebrae superioris and orbicularis oculi are corrected together to improve the drooping eye appearance.
The incision is closed with meticulous, fine sutures so that no visible scar remains even when the eyes are closed.
Why PLEASURE
Upper Blepharoplasty is far more than simply cutting away eyelid skin.
By addressing the root causes — correcting the orbicularis oculi and securing the levator palpebrae —
we achieve aesthetic and functional improvement simultaneously.
By correcting the levator palpebrae superioris and orbicularis oculi together — the root causes of drooping — we achieve both aesthetic and functional improvement.
Meticulous, fine suturing ensures no visible scar remains even when the eyes are closed, delivering a natural result after recovery.
Minimal tissue removal keeps swelling low, and short surgery time means a quick return to everyday activities.
Rather than dramatic change, we aim for an eye appearance that naturally harmonizes with the face — completed with precision and without over-correction.
Functional issues caused by aging — such as visual obstruction, eyelash poking, and skin maceration — are surgically corrected at the same time.
Key Approach
Visual obstruction caused by drooping eyelids is corrected simultaneously.
As the orbicularis oculi — which encircles the eye — loses elasticity, it becomes the root cause of upper eyelid drooping.
By correcting the drooping that begins at the inner and outer corners of the orbicularis oculi, recurrence is prevented and ptosis is fundamentally resolved.
The levator palpebrae superioris is firmly secured to achieve fundamental correction of upper eyelid drooping.
Cases where aging-related eyelid drooping has caused lashes to poke the eye or obstructed the visual field can also be corrected.
Both aesthetic and functional improvements can be achieved and appreciated together.
Functional issues such as visual obstruction, reduced visual acuity, eye redness, and skin maceration are all corrected surgically at the same time.
Upper Blepharoplasty resolves both aesthetic and functional concerns simultaneously. An accurate diagnosis can be confirmed through an in-person consultation, and eligibility may vary depending on individual eyelid condition.
