Overview
When sleep doesn't fix it
Plenty of people get told they look tired, stressed, or sad when they feel completely fine. Because the eyes are the first thing people notice, even small changes around them affect how your whole face reads.
What's usually going on
A tired look almost always comes from a mix of things:
- Extra skin on the upper eyelids (hooding)
- Puffy bags under the eyes
- Hollows or shadows beneath the eyes
- An upper lid that sits too low (ptosis)
- Brows that have dropped over time
Figuring out which of these you have is the most important step, because each one is treated differently.
How Dr. Kim approaches it
Dr. Kim looks at the brows, eyelids, and cheeks together instead of one at a time. Your plan might include upper blepharoplasty for hooding, lower blepharoplasty for bags, ptosis correction for a low lid, or a brow lift or fat transfer for heavy brows and hollowness. He performs each of these surgeries himself.
The goal isn't to change the shape of your eyes. It's to look like yourself on a good day.

The cosmetic surgery known as Double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) involves the skin around the eye being reshaped. The procedure's purpose is to bring about creased upper eyelid (also known as a "double eyelid") from an eyelid that naturally does not have a crease This is commonly known as a "monolid" or "single eyelid".
