What is
eyelid surgery?

Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and, when present, fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery eliminates drooping skin that can impair vision or create a heavy, tired look. Lower eyelid surgery addresses bags and puffiness.

The incisions are placed in the natural crease of the upper eyelid and just below the lash line of the lower lid — making scars virtually invisible once healed.

Results are long-lasting, typically 10–15 years, as the eyelid skin removed does not regenerate at the same rate.

How does the
process work?

Dr. Chung restores a rested, refreshed look — targeting the most visible area of facial aging with precision and natural results.

01
Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Chung evaluates upper eyelid skin excess, lower eyelid bags, fat prolapse and the relationship to the brow to plan the precise correction needed.
02
Upper, Lower or Both
The procedure can address upper lids, lower lids or both simultaneously depending on your anatomy. Technique is customized to each patient.
03
Blepharoplasty Procedure
Excess skin and fat are removed through precisely placed incisions — in the upper lid crease and below the lower lash line — leaving minimal visible scarring.
04
Recovery & Results
Most patients return to social activities within 10–14 days. Final, fully rested appearance is visible at 4–6 weeks.

What can be
corrected?

Upper lid excess skin

Removes hooding caused by excess upper eyelid skin that can impair peripheral vision and creates a tired look.

Upper lid fat pads

Removes or redistributes prominent fat pads in the upper inner corner for a smoother, more open eye.

Lower eyelid bags

Eliminates or repositions lower eyelid fat prolapse (bags) for a rested, refreshed appearance.

Lower lid skin laxity

Removes fine wrinkles and loose skin from the lower lid for smoother, tighter appearance.

Dark circle contribution

Repositioning of lower lid fat can reduce the shadowing that contributes to dark circles.

Combined procedures

Often combined with brow lift or facelift for comprehensive upper-face rejuvenation in a single procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about
Eyelid Surgery

No. Blepharoplasty removes excess tissue but does not alter the natural shape or expression of your eyes. The goal is to restore a rested, refreshed look without changing your appearance.

Upper blepharoplasty addresses drooping skin that can partially cover the eye. Lower blepharoplasty addresses bags, puffiness, and loose skin under the eye. Both can be done in the same session.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Mild swelling and bruising are expected for 7–10 days. Most patients return to normal activities within one week.

Yes. Eyelid surgery is commonly combined with brow lift, rhinoplasty, or facial fillers for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Results typically last 10–15 years. While aging continues, the eyelids will not return to their pre-surgery state within that timeframe.
