Will having too much double eyelid surgery make the eyes look older?

In general, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty. If too much is removed during blepharoplasty, it may make the eyes appear older. Blepharoplasty involves designing an incision at an appropriate position on the upper eyelid, removing part of the orbicularis oculi muscle, fat tissue, and attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to form a double eyelid crease, thus creating a double eyelid appearance. The general reference price for blepharoplasty ranges from 1,000 to 6,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed 1-3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the double eyelid crease is created too wide, beyond the overall aesthetic proportions of the eye, it may make the eyes appear unnatural and conspicuous, disrupting the harmonious beauty of the facial features and easily giving a rigid and stiff appearance. Moreover, as aging progresses and the skin gradually becomes lax, the shape of an overly wide double eyelid may change more noticeably, accelerating the appearance of aging. Additionally, improper surgical techniques that damage certain eye tissue structures and affect normal eye physiological functions—for example, causing incomplete eyelid closure—can also accelerate aging of the periorbital skin, making the eyes look older.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. Postoperatively, strictly follow medical advice to protect the eyes from sun exposure. Wearing sunglasses when outdoors can help avoid direct sunlight exposure to the eyes.
