Upper, Lower and Double Eyelid Surgery in Bangkok

Upper Blepharoplasty in Bangkok

As we age, skin loses elasticity and collagen, and the upper eyelids can begin to droop. The result is hooding, a lost eyelid crease, excess skin, and a tired or withdrawn look, even when you feel rested. In severe cases, drooping lids can interfere with vision itself. An upper blepharoplasty in Bangkok, Thailand removes that excess skin and fatty tissue, improving both how you look and, where needed, how well you see.

Am I a Candidate for Upper Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a good candidate if you recognize yourself in any of these:

• Weak eyelid muscles that make it difficult to fully open your eyes
• Puffy upper eyelids that leave you looking tired even when well-rested
• Sagging upper eyelids create a hooded appearance
• Vision interference is a significant concern that warrants consultation with a qualified oculoplastic surgeon or ophthalmologist
• A monolid or thick upper eyelid, where surgery can create a double eyelid

Double Eyelid Surgery Techniques in Bangkok

Not every eye needs the same approach, so double eyelid surgery in Bangkok at Nirunda is offered in three techniques:

• Full-incision: a permanent solution for significant enhancement and age-related correction. It works for all eye shapes, especially severe drooping that hinders vision.
• Partial-incision: smaller incisions address excess fat and loose muscle, with the muscles tightened and secured by sutures to create a new crease. Minimal scarring and discomfort, and a particularly popular choice in Asia.
• Buried suture (non-incision): also called scarless double eyelid surgery, this approach uses internal sutures to create natural-looking double eyelids without an incision.

The upper lids are only half the story, though. For many patients, the real concern sits just below.

Lower Blepharoplasty and Eye Bag Removal

Puffy under-eyes can add years to your face and make you look tired or even grumpy when you are neither. Lower blepharoplasty, also known as eye bag removal in Bangkok, targets puffiness and wrinkles in the lower eyelid area: excess fatty deposits that create bags, loose skin that contributes to a tired appearance, and fine lines around the lower lids.

Am I a Candidate for Lower Eyelid Surgery?

This procedure suits generally healthy adults with realistic expectations, particularly if you have:

• Under-eye bags or puffiness that casts shadows
• Fat protrusion, where drooping skin or milia (tiny white bumps) signal fat deposits under the lower lids
• Hollowing under the eyes creates dark shadows, which can be addressed with replacement fat injected into the area
• Fine lines and wrinkles that make you look older than your years

How Lower Blepharoplasty Works

Two main approaches are used at our Bangkok clinic:

• Transconjunctival: the incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scars. Ideal for excess fat, though less suited to significant skin concerns.
• Transcutaneous: an incision along the lower lash line allows removal of both excess fat and skin for a more dramatic rejuvenation.

The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation and takes one to two hours depending on the correction needed.
