Treatments that guide you to naturally beautiful eyes! For any concerns about your eyes, please consult us first.
Many people struggle with the concern that their eyelids droop with age, making their eyes appear heavy. Upper eyelids that were taut and firm in one's teens and twenties tend to gradually sag from the late thirties to the sixties. As the upper eyelids droop, people often raise their eyebrows to maintain their field of vision, which can lead to wrinkles on the forehead or hollows forming in the upper eyelids. These changes contribute to a tired or aged appearance.
At Bianca Clinic, we address various concerns around the eyes, such as drooping eyelids and puffiness. After carefully assessing the cause and condition, we propose a personalized treatment plan for each individual. Our experienced board-certified plastic surgeons, recognized by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, strive to achieve a natural, youthful-looking result that also considers aesthetic balance. If you are concerned about changes in your eye area, please feel free to consult with us.

CHARACTERISTICSUpper Eyelid Lift
Upper eyelid lift surgery involves removing excess skin from the upper eyelids that has sagged due to aging. Depending on the condition, it may also involve removing an appropriate amount of orbicularis oculi muscle and orbital fat to create a refreshed, more defined appearance around the eyes.
Removing sagging upper eyelids improves the way your eyes open, giving your eye area a youthful and bright impression. For those with naturally double eyelids, sagging tissue that previously obscured the crease becomes more visible, sometimes creating the appearance of a wider double eyelid.
For those with monolids, it is possible to create double eyelids during suturing. In addition to these cosmetic changes, some patients report altered visual perception or reduced strain around the eye area. Individuals concerned about upper eyelid drooping may wish to consider this as a treatment option.
Even if you're anxious about surgery, we can provide procedures with pain management.
At Bianca Clinic, we provide pain-conscious procedures to ensure even those apprehensive about surgery can undergo treatment with peace of mind. Anesthesia is used during the procedure, and pain medication is prescribed afterward. We also provide aftercare and advice to help you feel comfortable even after returning home.
The incision is made along the natural double eyelid line, ensuring the scar remains in a discreet location. Redness typically persists for about one month post-surgery, gradually fading into a thin, white line over 2-3 months, becoming less noticeable over time. Swelling and bruising usually subside within about two weeks. Eye makeup can be applied starting three days after suture removal. We perform procedures with the utmost consideration for scarring and postoperative recovery. Please feel free to consult with us first.

Recommended Features
RECOMMENDED POINTSThere are two main causes of drooping upper eyelids.
Upper eyelid drooping is primarily caused by two factors: "skin laxity" and "muscle weakness." Skin laxity occurs when the skin loses its elasticity due to aging and UV damage, and is called upper eyelid skin laxity. Muscle laxity is referred to by the medical term ptosis, which makes it difficult to lift the eyelid. It can be caused by aging or habits like pulling on the eyelid when putting in or taking out contact lenses.
As it progresses, your field of vision narrows, and straining your forehead muscles to keep your eyes open can lead to symptoms like forehead wrinkles, headaches, and stiff shoulders. It's not just about the appearance caused by sagging; it can also affect your overall health. Therefore, it's crucial to receive proper diagnosis and treatment at a reliable clinic.
Customizable eye area transformations to suit your preferences
Sagging upper eyelids often give others the impression that you look sleepy or tired.
At Bianca Clinic, we offer treatments tailored to each individual's eye condition and preferences—whether you wish to reduce sagging while keeping your single eyelid, restore a narrowed double eyelid width caused by sagging, or address uneven double eyelid lines. Removing sagging tissue naturally reveals your original double eyelid line and makes applying makeup easier.
The eyes are such an important feature that they greatly influence the entire face. Whether you desire a subtle change or wish for a distinct double eyelid line, please feel free to consult with us first.
Treatment by board-certified plastic surgeons that combines function and beauty
Eye area treatments must not only enhance beauty but also preserve visual function. At Bianca Clinic, consultations and procedures are performed by board-certified plastic surgeons recognized by the Japan Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Our physicians, deeply knowledgeable about the eye's structure, provide customized treatments tailored to each individual, aiming for a natural and harmonious result. Precisely because this delicate area can appear unnatural even with slight asymmetry, we maintain a thorough follow-up system to monitor post-operative progress. Furthermore, for ptosis accompanied by severe symptoms such as shoulder stiffness or headaches, we also offer insurance-covered treatment following diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery
Q&AHow does upper eyelid lift differ from HIFU or laser treatments?
Upper eyelid ptosis correction is a surgical procedure that removes sagging skin by excising excess tissue. In contrast, treatments like HIFU and laser tighten sagging skin by applying ultrasound or thermal energy, differing in their approach. For severe sagging, surgical treatments like upper eyelid ptosis correction are most effective. We determine the appropriate treatment based on your specific symptoms. If you'd like to learn about the best upper eyelid treatment for you, please schedule a consultation.
Which is more effective: upper eyelid lift surgery or eye exercises and stretches?
Exercises and stretches to improve upper eyelid sagging can be effective for prevention or mild care. However, if sagging has already progressed or you wish to brighten the appearance of your eyes more effectively, professional sagging treatments at a clinic are recommended.
Is upper eyelid lift covered by insurance?
Cases where ptosis causes narrowed vision or severe symptoms such as shoulder stiffness and headaches that interfere with daily life may be eligible for insurance coverage.
Whether insurance coverage applies will be determined by the doctor during your consultation, so please consult with us first.
Can men also get upper eyelid lift surgery?
Of course, men are also welcome. At Bianca Clinic, we receive many consultations from men and propose designs aimed at achieving a natural, youthful appearance. Please feel free to consult with us.
Are the scars from upper eyelid lift surgery noticeable?
Upper eyelid lift surgery involves making an incision along the double eyelid line, resulting in scars that are less noticeable and become even more natural over time. Achieving a beautiful, natural-looking result is also a key focus at Bianca Clinic.
How long is the downtime after upper eyelid lift surgery?
Swelling and bruising vary from person to person, but they tend to subside within about two weeks. Sutures are removed after seven days, and eye makeup is generally possible starting three days after suture removal. We also provide advice to help make your downtime more comfortable, so please feel free to consult with us.
How can I prevent sagging of the upper eyelids?
To prevent upper eyelid sagging, it's important to make skincare habits that maintain skin firmness and elasticity—such as UV protection and moisturizing—a routine. However, many Japanese people have thicker, flatter eyelids, making their skin more prone to drooping compared to other ethnicities. If sagging has already progressed or you've started noticing changes around your eyes, it's advisable to consult a clinic.
