Why Do Uneven Eyes Get Worse With Age? Men's Middle-Age Eye Surgery at Samsao

Hello, this is Samsao Plastic Surgery.

As we age, our eyelids begin to droop,

and the shape of our eyes shifts,

which is one of the natural signs of aging.

However, the changes in each eye

do not always appear identically on both sides.

Sometimes one eyelid droops noticeably more than the other,

or the strength used to open the eyes begins to differ,

and uneven eyes and eye asymmetry that were not noticeable before

can become more pronounced.

Middle-aged men, in particular, may find that drooping eyelids

make them look tired or heavy-eyed,

and in severe cases, they can obstruct

vision and cause discomfort.

Today, we'll look at why uneven eyes become more noticeable after middle age

and how men's middle-age eye surgery

can help improve them.

Why do uneven eyes become more noticeable after middle age?

Our two eyes are never perfectly symmetrical,

and the height of the eyelids or the strength of eye opening

can also differ.

When we are young, these differences

may not stand out much,

but as we age, differences in eyelid drooping,

differences in eye-opening strength, and differences in eyebrow position

can make the asymmetry more obvious.

Therefore, uneven eyes that appear after middle age

are not simply a matter of differing eye size.

Rather, it is important to comprehensively assess the condition of the eyelids and eyebrows,

as well as the eye-opening function.

Middle-age eye surgery requires considering the degree of eyelid drooping and skin condition,

as well as eye-opening strength,

and choosing the most suitable surgical method.

1. Non-incisional upper blepharoplasty

Worth considering when eyelid drooping is relatively mild

and there is little excess skin.

2. Incisional upper blepharoplasty

Worth considering when the eyelid skin has sagged

and covers the eyes, or when the drooping is severe.

3. Subbrow lift

Worth considering when the skin below the eyebrow sags and covers the outer corner of the eye.

4. Lower blepharoplasty

Worth considering when under-eye fat bulging is accompanied by skin laxity.

Men's middle-age eye surgery is not simply

about making the eyes look bigger.

What matters more is preserving the character

of the existing eye shape while pursuing a natural change.

First, we aim to keep the features of the existing eye shape

and create a natural change that suits

the proportions of the face.

Second, we consider the balance between both eyes

to ease asymmetry and plan a harmonious eye shape.

Third, we keep excessive changes to a minimum

so that the result harmonizes with the existing impression

and decide the direction of surgery.

If you have these concerns,

consider middle-age eye surgery!

✔️ The degree of eyelid drooping differs between the two eyes

✔️ One eye looks noticeably smaller or sleepier

✔️ Drooping eyelids block your vision or make your eyes feel heavy

✔️ You have to strain your forehead to open your eyes

✔️ You want a natural improvement in your eye shape

The photos above show a case at Samsao Plastic Surgery

where lower blepharoplasty, canthal correction,

and non-incisional upper blepharoplasty were performed.

Before surgery, both eyelids were drooping,

and changes in the skin around the eyes

gave them a somewhat heavy impression,

but after surgery, the drooping eyelids have improved

and the changes that take the balance between both eyes into account

can be seen.

Middle-age eye surgery depends on each person's eye condition,

so the scope and method of surgery vary, making it important to also consider

a systematic surgical environment.

Samsao Plastic Surgery uses its Doctor Call system,

through which the attending surgeon

personally checks the recovery progress the day after surgery.

The clinic also operates an anesthesia system staffed on-site by three board-certified

anesthesiology and pain medicine specialists, as well as an operating room CCTV

installation and viewing system.

After middle age,

eyelid drooping and eye asymmetry

can be caused by a variety of factors.

Therefore, rather than simply removing sagging skin,

the condition of the eyelids, eye-opening strength, and eyebrow position

should be considered together in surgical planning.

If you are concerned about drooping eyelids or uneven eyes,

we recommend a thorough consultation to identify the cause of the asymmetry,

and to discuss a natural direction for improvement

that harmonizes with your existing look 🤎

Thank you 😊
