How to Correct Eyelid Twitching? Cheongdam-dong Eye Surgery

Hello. We are SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, specializing in eye surgery in Cheongdam-dong.
These days, the perception of one's eyes plays a very important role. We look at a person's eyes when conversing during a first impression, and that determines how they are perceived. Therefore, the appearance of one's eyes can often define a first impression.
For this reason, many people, regardless of gender, seek plastic surgery to correct their eyes if they have features that make it difficult to leave a good impression.
While most of these individuals seek plastic surgery for aesthetic purposes, there are also those who visit for eye correction with other objectives in mind.

Those who come with other objectives typically seek to improve eyelids that have lost elasticity with age.
Most clients who come for this purpose are over 50 years old. As one ages, the most telling sign of aging in the body begins with the ‘face’.
Everyone experiences the aging process where a firm face gradually sags, leading to wrinkles. However, individuals who naturally have a lot of fat around their eyelids are significantly affected in their eyes when facial sagging occurs.

The Impact of Eyelid Sagging?
Unlike clients in their 20s to 40s who come for aesthetic reasons, those over 50 also have aesthetic goals, but they often prioritize functional objectives when looking for Cheongdam-dong eye surgery.
The functional negative impacts of sagging eyelids are numerous.
Firstly, eyelids that have lost elasticity and sag, obstructing vision. When vision is obstructed, the field of view naturally narrows. Additionally, in some cases, eyelid sagging can even lead to eyelid twitching.


Upper Blepharoplasty
To improve these conditions, many middle-aged and older individuals prefer and undergo ‘upper blepharoplasty’.
The MZ generation primarily considers eye shape correction or double eyelid surgery rather than upper blepharoplasty. These procedures are performed purely for aesthetic purposes, whereas middle-aged and older individuals can achieve both eyelid sagging and twitching improvement simultaneously through upper blepharoplasty.
When considering Cheongdam-dong eye surgery, at SNU Plastic Surgery Clinic, Director Jeong Eui-cheol, a former Seoul National University professor, personally handles consultations, design, and procedures with clients.
Upper blepharoplasty is one of the essential surgeries for the majority of middle-aged and older individuals.

These days, many people want to look younger even as they age, and they often utilize lifting procedures.
However, if there's an area where lifting struggles to restore youthfulness, it's the ‘eyes’. Among these, individuals who experience significant stress not only from obstructed vision due to eyelid sagging but also from twitching, need to undergo upper blepharoplasty for correction.
The extent of eyelid sagging varies among clients depending on their aging speed, so even for the same surgery, there are differences in the starting point and the scope of treatment. The average time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes, but it can take up to 2 hours.

The reason to choose our clinic when looking for Cheongdam-dong eye surgery is that to reduce the failure rate, the director personally handles everything from consultation to design and procedure, rather than performing the procedure based on information relayed by a consultation manager.

At our clinic, we perform not only upper blepharoplasty but also lower blepharoplasty, which can naturally occur simultaneously.
Often, clinics with less experience in procedures struggle to achieve high client satisfaction when performing upper and lower blepharoplasty simultaneously.
