Q. I have heavy eyelids; will they sag as I age? Should I have the fat removed?
Learn why heavy eyelids sag and whether fat removal is the right solution based on your specific eye structure.
Hello!
We have prepared a brief session to explain some common questions you might have ^^
Q) I have a lot of flesh on my eyelids and I am worried they will sag as I get older. Should I have the fat removed?
A) Hello, this is Dr. Young-moon Yoo, Chief Director of Vibe Plastic Surgery, with your 1-minute plastic surgery tip.
Today’s question is: ‘I have a lot of flesh on my eyelids and I am worried they will sag as I get older. Should I have the fat removed?’ The answer is: not necessarily. Among those who visit the clinic because they feel their eyelids are bulging, there are cases where there is indeed a lot of fat. However, there are also cases where the skin and muscle are thick, or where the eyebrows themselves are positioned low, causing the skin to be pushed down and appear puffy. Therefore, it is important to identify which category you fall into and find the appropriate solution.
If the puffiness is caused by excess fat, removing the fat will improve the sagging. However, if the skin and muscle themselves are thick, you must use an incisional method or a brow lift to address the sagging to achieve effective results.
