A 50-something mom's second prime: Real review of middle-aged eye surgery, lower blepharoplasty, and forehead lift

As we age, the skin around the eyes tends to sag, and the protrusion of fat under the eyes often makes us look tired or gives us a darker impression.

Especially after the age of 40-50, drooping eyelids can even obstruct vision, causing daily inconvenience.

Today, we introduce the case of a client in her 50s who achieved a bright and clear impression all at once through double eyelid revision, lower blepharoplasty, and a forehead lift at Baba Plastic Surgery.

Client's Concerns & Condition

1. Drooping eyelids obscured her double eyelid line.

2. Protruding under-eye fat due to aging.

She had a heavy and sleepy appearance due to drooping eyelids, and not only did she have under-eye fat protrusion and dark circles, but her forehead also showed reduced elasticity and drooping eyebrows, indicating overall signs of aging.

Surgical Plan

The plan involved correcting the eye line to be clearer with natural adhesion double eyelid surgery, removing the puffiness and shadows under the eyes with lower blepharoplasty & lateral canthoplasty fixation to create a brighter and healthier under-eye impression.

A forehead lift was performed to raise the drooping eyebrows, making the eyes appear clearer and restoring overall facial balance.

Surgery & Recovery Process

Day 2: Less pain and swelling than expected due to Baba's precise suturing and surgical techniques.

Day 7: Lower blepharoplasty stitches removed. The double eyelid thickness and line became natural. Some bruising remained, but no significant pain was felt.

*Caution: Avoid getting water on the forehead lift pin area.*

Week 2: Showering possible. Senile bruising disappeared. The double eyelid line settled naturally, and the previously prominent under-eye puffiness was noticeably improved.

Month 1: Brighter image, makeup possible, improvement in aging appearance.

During the first week, there was some pain and discomfort, but it did not significantly interfere with daily life. From weeks 1-2, the natural line and eye shape began to recover.

After 3-4 weeks, people around her clearly noticed the ‘change’, and she reported increased confidence.

Final Transformation & Client Satisfaction

After one month, her entire face became much brighter, her ability to open her eyes improved, and her eye shape became clearer.

She expressed great satisfaction with the reduction of the under-eye shadows, which had been her biggest concern and made her look tired.
