What Is a Hooded Eye?
A hooded eye happens when skin and soft tissue rest over the natural eyelid crease. This can be due to genetics, reduced skin elasticity with age, or a low-positioned brow.
A hooded eye can make the upper eyelid look heavy or hidden, sometimes giving a tired look and even narrowing the field of vision.
At BIANCA Clinic, we blend delicate surgical skill with advanced non-surgical technology, focusing on holistic care, safety and reliable follow-up. Whether you live in Japan or are visiting, English-speaking support will make your journey smooth from consultation to long-term after care.

How to treat Hooded Eyes with Customized Upper Eyelids for refreshed vision and face balance
1. What is Upper Eyelid Sagging Removal?
Upper Eyelid Sagging Removal is a surgical procedure that eliminates excess skin from the upper eyelid to correct drooping and restore a more open, youthful appearance.
A discreet incision is made along the natural double eyelid crease, allowing for precise removal of loose skin while minimizing visible scarring.
Beyond aesthetic rejuvenation, this procedure also offers important functional benefits, such as relieving visual field obstruction and reducing
strain-related symptoms including eye fatigue, headaches, and even shoulder tension caused by overcompensation of forehead muscles.

2. What is Upper Eyelid Fat Removal?
Upper Eyelid Fat Removal is a surgical procedure designed to reduce puffiness and heaviness in the upper eyelid by removing excess fat.
This helps create a more defined eyelid contour and a refreshed, balanced eye appearance.
The procedure is typically performed through a small incision placed along the natural double eyelid crease,
ensuring minimal scarring and a subtle, natural finish. It is especially suitable for individuals with thick or puffy eyelids who
wish to achieve a clearer, lighter look without altering the overall eyelid shape dramatically.

3. What is Eyebrow Lift?
The Brow Lift, also known as Sub-Brow Excision, is a minimally invasive procedure that removes a narrow strip of excess skin (and occasionally fat) from just beneath the eyebrow. The incision is carefully placed along the natural brow line, ensuring it remains discreet while providing a lifted, refreshed appearance to the upper eyelid area.
This technique effectively reduces upper eyelid heaviness, smooths sagging skin, and restores a youthful contour—all with minimal visible scarring. Unlike traditional upper blepharoplasty, it tightens the eyelid without altering the double eyelid crease, preserving the eye’s natural shape and expression.
The procedure is particularly effective for individuals whose sagging is concentrated in the area directly below the brows, offering a subtle yet highly natural rejuvenation.
