Upper blepharoplasty surgery should be performed with care to avoid creating a harsh appearance.

For middle-aged eyes, excessive surgery can result in an artificial or harsh appearance, making the surgeon's skill and expertise especially crucial.
AB utilizes an upper blepharoplasty technique that mimics the principles of natural double eyelids, along with precise Ptosis Correction, tissue removal, and scar-free techniques. The goal is to achieve a more natural and beautiful appearance for middle-aged eyes.
