Heavy, sagging upper eyelids
![[Middle-Aged Plastic Surgery] The area where skin aging begins first is the eyes. Middle-aged eye surgery improves issues around the eyes through procedures such as upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or eye bag removal, tailored to each individual’s symptoms.](img/middle-aged-plastic-surgery/middle-aged-plastic-surgery-title.webp)
For middle-aged skin, eyes, and forehead, a natural result comes from considering overall harmony rather than a single area alone. Middle-aged plastic surgery designs eye, forehead, and lifting procedures around your individual condition, aiming for a refreshed, naturally younger impression that never looks artificial.

Answers to the questions patients most often ask before planning surgery in Korea.
QUpper blepharoplasty or lower blepharoplasty — which do I need?
AIt depends on where the aging shows. Drooping upper lids point to upper blepharoplasty, while under-eye bags and wrinkles point to lower blepharoplasty. We confirm the right plan through examination.
QHow is it different from a brow lift?
ABlepharoplasty works directly on the eyelid, while a brow lift raises the brow and forehead area. The right choice depends on where the sagging starts.
QAm I too old for eye rejuvenation surgery?
ASuitability is decided by your eyelid condition and overall health rather than age. We confirm through consultation and basic check-ups.
QHow long does the swelling last?
AMost of the major swelling goes down within 2 weeks to 1 month, and the small visible swelling settles gradually over several months. The pace varies from person to person.
QI do not speak Korean. Do you provide interpretation services?
AWe are a government-registered medical institution for international patients, with dedicated English-, Chinese-, and Japanese-speaking coordinators on staff. They support smooth communication through every step, from consultation to the operating room and aftercare.
QCan I get a tax refund (VAT refund) on the surgery cost?
AThe special VAT refund program for cosmetic surgery services for foreign tourists officially ended on December 31, 2025. For procedures performed on or after January 1, 2026, clinics can no longer issue tax refund documents.
QWill the surgeon I consult with actually perform my surgery? Is there any risk of ghost surgery?
AThe board-certified plastic surgeon who consults with you performs 100% of the surgery. Under Korean law requiring CCTV in operating rooms, our operating room CCTV is in operation to protect your rights as a patient.
QHow can I check that a clinic is safe and verified?
AAn objective indicator is the KAHF mark, the accreditation program designated by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare for medical institutions serving international patients. You can also verify that the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon on the Korean Society of Plastic Surgeons website.
QWhat payment methods do you accept?
AWe accept international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, UnionPay, JCB), cash (KRW, USD, and other major currencies), Alipay, and WeChat Pay.
