Hooded upper eyelids occur when excess skin and tissue drape over the natural eyelid crease, making eyes look tired, smaller, or aged.

Hooding develops with aging, sun exposure, and genetics. The condition can obstruct peripheral vision in advanced cases and is one of the most common reasons patients pursue eyelid surgery.

Dr. Kim personally performs upper blepharoplasty to remove the precise amount of excess skin and, when needed, conservative fat to restore an open, refreshed appearance while preserving the natural eyelid contour.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Upper Blepharoplasty is right for you.
