What does this combination correct?
This case shows upper blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, eyelid fat grafting and under-eye micro-fat grafting at Sinsa L Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul. Combining these procedures in one session treats several problems — heavy or hooded upper lids; droopy, sleepy-looking upper lids; sunken or hollow upper eyelids; under-eye hollowness beyond what repositioned fat can cover — with a single recovery period. All photos are standardised, shared with patient consent, and every case was operated by Dr. Lee himself. Individual results vary.
What was done in this case
- Upper blepharoplasty — Excess upper-lid skin was removed and a natural crease re-set.
- Ptosis correction — The eyelid-lifting muscle was tightened to raise the lid margin and open the eyes.
- Eyelid fat grafting — Micro-fat was grafted into sunken upper lids to restore soft fullness.
- Under-eye micro-fat grafting — The patient's own micro-fat was added to remaining hollows for a smooth lid–cheek transition.
