Popular Eyelid Surgery Procedures in Thailand
Here are some popular eyelid surgery procedures that international patients prefer:
Also known as Upper Blepharoplasty. This surgery removes extra skin to reshape the upper eyelid.
As you age, your body produces less collagen and elastin. This leads to extra or sagging skin around your eyelids.
This procedure lifts and tightens the upper eyelid area.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
It is also called Lower Blepharoplasty. This helps to reduce under-eye bags by removing and redistributing fat.
Due to aging, skin laxity or firmness is lost, and skin becomes saggy and loose.
This procedure smooths out hollow, saggy eye bags, giving a refreshed appearance.
Eye-Bag Surgery
This surgery is also known as Asian blepharoplasty. It improves vision and gives a more awake and youthful look.
This surgery adds a crease to the upper eyelid to give the eyes a larger, more symmetrical look.
It can transform puffy eyelids into an almond-shaped and balanced appearance.
Double Eyelid Surgery
LPS is the primary muscle that elevates the upper eyelid. Weakening of LPS causes ptosis.
The drooping eyelid covers the pupil and interferes with vision. By lifting the eyelid, a clear and sharp vision is achieved.
This surgery tightens the levator muscle or connects the eyelid to other muscles to lift it.
Ptosis Correction
