Upper blepharoplasty in Seoul, Korea
Upper blepharoplasty in Gangnam, Seoul at Marble Plastic Surgery: remove drooping upper-eyelid skin to open the eyes and refresh a tired look.
Typical ranges for upper blepharoplasty; your surgeon confirms the details at consultation.
What is upper blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is surgery that removes excess, drooping skin — and fat where needed — from the upper eyelid so the eyes look more open and rested. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon and can be combined with ptosis correction.
With age, upper-eyelid skin stretches and hangs over the lash line, which can narrow the field of vision and irritate the outer corners. Removing the right amount of skin, and restoring the crease, refreshes the eyes while keeping your natural expression.
Who is upper blepharoplasty for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Upper-eyelid skin that hangs onto or over the lashes
- A crease that has become hidden or uneven with age
- Sore or moist outer corners from overlapping skin
- A tired look despite adequate rest
How upper blepharoplasty is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon measures skin excess and brow position, checks for underlying ptosis, and marks a conservative amount of skin to remove.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Removing excess skin The marked skin, and fat if necessary, is removed through an incision placed in the eyelid crease, then closed with fine sutures.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling and bruising usually settle within one to two weeks, and stitches are removed after about five to seven days.
- Swelling injection and regenerative LED laser in the first week
- Milia removal at checkups
- 1-year revision guarantee
- Unlimited surgeon-checked scar injections
- Recovery kit to take home

Frequently asked questions
Is upper blepharoplasty the same as double eyelid surgery?
They overlap. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease; upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing age-related excess skin. In mature patients both are often done in one operation.
Upper blepharoplasty or sub-brow lift: which is right for me?
If the crease is hidden by drooping skin, upper blepharoplasty is common. If you want to keep your existing eyelid shape or have thick skin, a sub-brow lift may suit better.
How long do results last?
Removed skin does not return, but the eyelids continue to age. Results generally last many years.
Who will perform my procedure at Marble Plastic Surgery?
