Find Your Concern

How to use this page

Most people do not arrive knowing the name of a procedure. They arrive knowing what they see in the mirror: eyes that look tired, a crease that never felt right, a jawline that has softened. Each page below starts from that concern, explains the anatomy behind it, and describes the options, surgical and non-surgical, that may help.

One concern can have several causes. Heavy-looking eyes, for example, may come from excess skin, a low eyelid position, descended brows or all three. That is why Dr. Kim Jun-young examines the underlying structure before suggesting any treatment.

Eyelid concerns

• Hooded Eyes — Skin or fullness that folds over the crease and makes the eye look heavy or smaller.
• Monolids — An upper lid without a visible crease, and the choices for creating one that suits your face.
• Asymmetric Eyes — Creases, lid heights or eye shapes that differ from one side to the other.
• Droopy Eyelids — An upper lid that sits low over the iris, often from a weakened levator muscle attachment.
• Tired-Looking Eyes — A heavy, sleepy look caused by lid position, excess skin, brow descent or under-eye hollows.

After previous eyelid surgery

• Unsatisfying Double Eyelid Results — When a previous double eyelid result feels wrong, and how revision is assessed.
• Double Eyelid Crease Too High — A crease set too high that looks fixed, surprised or sausage-like, and how it can be lowered.
• Double Eyelid Fold Has Loosened — A fold that has faded, become shallow or disappeared after earlier surgery.
• Visible Eyelid Surgery Scars — Incision lines that stay visible, indented or uneven after eyelid surgery.

Under the eyes

• Under-Eye Bags — Bulging lower-lid fat that pushes forward through a weakened orbital septum.
• Dark Circles & Tear Troughs — Shadowing and grooves under the eye from volume loss, pigment or fat position.
• Sunken or Hollow Eyes — Hollowness in the upper or lower lid that can make the eyes look tired or older.

Forehead, brows and face

• Forehead Wrinkles — Horizontal lines from muscle movement, brow descent and changing skin quality.
• Droopy Eyebrows — Brows that have descended over time and crowd the upper eyelids.
• Sagging Jowls — Loss of a clean jawline as cheek and deeper facial tissues descend.
• Deep Nasolabial Folds — Deep lines from nose to mouth, driven by descent and volume change in the midface.
• Facial Volume Loss — Hollow temples, cheeks or under-eyes as facial fat compartments shrink with age.

Nose

• Low Nose Bridge — A flat or low nasal bridge, and the implant and natural-tissue options for raising it.
• Dorsal Hump — A bump on the nasal bridge made of bone and cartilage, visible in profile.
• Bulbous Nose Tip — A wide or rounded nasal tip from cartilage shape, thick skin or soft tissue.

Chin, neck, hands and skin

• Double Chin — Fullness under the chin from fat, skin laxity or loosened neck muscle.
• Neck Bands & Loose Neck — Visible vertical bands and loose skin as the platysma muscle separates with age.
• Aging Hands — Thin skin and visible veins and tendons as the backs of the hands lose volume.
• Dull Skin & Rough Texture — Uneven tone, fine lines and rough texture, and the skin-quality treatments that may help.

For men

• Eye Aging in Men — Heavy lids, bags and hollows in men, treated with a masculine, understated approach.
