Why Choose Sinsa L for Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Periorbital specialization: We focus on eyelids and eyebrow harmony—planning crease height, eyelid show, and brow position together for natural balance.
• Tailored design: Crease style (parallel / in-out / taper), height, and incision length are customized to skin thickness, fat distribution, and levator strength.
• Natural, not overdone: Conservative skin removal and precise fat contouring to avoid hollowness or an over-high crease.
• Safety & clarity: Hospital-grade protocols, clear explanations of indications/risks, and structured follow-ups.
• International-friendly: English support, remote photo consults, transparent quotes, and travel-aware scheduling.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Upper-lid dermatochalasis (excess skin) or makeup imprint/smudging
• Low, asymmetric, or unstable crease; difficulty showing eyeliner/lash line
• “Tired” or heavy look despite adequate sleep
• Considering upper bleph + ptosis repair or brow lift for optimal lid show and symmetry

Techniques We Offer

• Standard Upper Blepharoplasty (Full Incision)
  Precisely measured skin (and selective muscle) excision, preaponeurotic fat contouring, and stable crease fixation for durable, natural definition.
• Minimal-Incision Upper Lid
  Shorter incision where appropriate; limited skin handling with crease fixation—best for mild hooding and thinner skin.
• Fat Contouring, Not Over-Resection
  Strategic trimming or redistribution of medial/central fat; cautious approach to ROOF to prevent hollowing.
• Eyelid Crease Creation/Revision
  For monolids or low/uneven creases; height and taper tailored to your features and preferences.
• Adjuncts (Case-by-Case)
  Ptosis repair (levator advancement/MMCR) to improve opening and stability; consider temporal brow lift or sub-brow excision for lateral hooding patterns.

Ptosis Correction (When & Why)

If you raise your brows to see or your eyes appear “sleepy,” levator muscle support may be weak. Adding ptosis repair during upper blepharoplasty improves eyelid elevation and crease stability, yielding brighter eyes without over-removing skin.

Brow Lift Synergy

Upper bleph removes excess lid skin; brow lift elevates the brow and reduces lateral hooding. In selected patients, a combined or staged plan prevents over-resection and preserves a soft, youthful lid-brow distance.

Your Treatment Journey

1. Consultation & Design – Photos, measurements, crease mapping (height, shape), brow-lid harmony, and scar strategy.
2. Pre-Op Prep – Medical review and instructions (smoking cessation; blood-thinner adjustments as directed).
3. Surgery Day – Precise marking, anesthesia, targeted skin/fat adjustment, crease fixation; typically same-day discharge.
4. Aftercare & Checks – Cooling, head elevation; stitch removal ~5–7 days; follow-ups for swelling care and symmetry review.

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

• Days 1–3: Swelling/tightness; mild bruising; cool compresses as instructed
• Days 4–7: Stitches removed; light makeup after clearance
• Week 2: Most bruising fades; return to social settings
• Weeks 3–6: Residual swelling resolves; crease refines
• Months 3–6: Final shape and scar maturation

Aftercare Tips

• Sleep with head elevated for 1–2 weeks
• Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, and alcohol for ~2 weeks
• Follow ointment/silicone/UV protection as directed
• Report increasing pain, redness, or sudden asymmetry promptly

Risks & Considerations

Temporary swelling/bruising, dryness, visible scarring, asymmetry, hollowing if excessive fat is removed (we avoid this), transient numbness, crease irregularity, under/over-correction, rare need for revision. Your surgeon will personalize risk reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it look natural?
Yes—crease height/shape and skin removal are planned for your anatomy to maintain a soft, non-surgical look.

Do I need ptosis repair?
If levator strength is weak, adding ptosis correction improves opening and helps keep the crease stable.

Will there be scars?
The incision is placed in the designed crease and typically heals as a fine line with proper care.

How long do results last?
Often many years; aging continues, but good skincare and sun protection help longevity.

When can I wear makeup or contacts?
Usually after clearance following stitch removal and once early swelling subsides.

I’m flying in—how long should I stay?
Most international patients plan 7–10 days for stitch removal and early checks.
