Treatment Overview
Combination Upper Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses multiple concerns of the upper eyelid in a single operation. It typically combines double eyelid creation, excess skin removal, fat repositioning or removal, and ptosis correction if needed. This comprehensive approach is designed to enhance both aesthetic appearance and eyelid function. In Korea, surgeons are globally renowned for their precision techniques and natural results, making it a top choice for patients seeking complete eyelid rejuvenation.
