Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Department: Plastic Surgery · Eye Surgery Category.
Consultation Model: 1:1 Specialist Consultation with Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee.

Overview of Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eye Surgery (Blepharoplasty) at UNI Plastic Surgery focuses on creating balanced, natural-looking eyelid contours that harmonize with each patient's facial proportions. Because eyelid skin thickness, orbital fat distribution, and eyelid opening strength vary significantly from person to person, Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee conducts a detailed 1:1 anatomical evaluation before recommending an individualized surgical plan.

Key Anatomical Considerations & Focus Areas

• Crease Height & Line Design: Evaluates natural fold geometry and upper eyelid skin redundancy for balanced eye expression.
• Eyelid Function & Symmetry: Assesses eyelid opening mechanics and bilateral symmetry during dynamic expression.
• Periorbital Soft-Tissue Harmony: Considers upper and lower eyelid contour transitions in relation to the brow and midface.
• Board-Certified Specialist Care: Planned and guided by Chief Director Dr. Hee Young Lee (Full Member of KSPRS and KSAPS).
