Lower Blepharoplasty for a Youthful Face... Why is it as Effective as Lifting Procedures?

Looking younger than one's age is a constant aspiration. The desire and attempts to achieve a youthful appearance are ongoing.

This is evidenced by the continuous use of various anti-aging cosmetics that promise a youthful face,

and the steady stream of people visiting dermatologists for various lifting procedures like Ultherapy and Thermage FLX.

While consistent care and anti-aging treatments have their own effects,

for those who don't see significant results from such care or procedures,

it might be wise to turn to anti-aging plastic surgery, which offers a fundamental solution.

Today, with Director Kim Jong-myung of Diva Plastic Surgery, we will explore lower blepharoplasty,

an effective procedure for restoring a youthful face.

Particularly prominent signs of aging often appear in the lower eyelids, an area where the skin is notably thin and delicate.

When aging progresses in the under-eye area, it leads to a decrease in skin elasticity.

This can cause under-eye wrinkles,

or loosen the fat layer surrounding the eyes, leading to protruding under-eye fat. Furthermore, the fat formed under the eyes

can create dark shadows, resulting in dark circles, which not only make one look older

but also often give a tired impression.

Are changes under the eyes a measure of aging?

Under-eye wrinkles, under-eye fat, and dark circles, which primarily occur in the lower eyelid area,

can significantly impact one's impression. To address these concerns, 'lower blepharoplasty' is recommended as an anti-aging plastic surgery method for wrinkle improvement.

Lower blepharoplasty is an anti-aging eye surgery that removes and repositions bulging under-eye fat

and lifts, pulls, and fixes sagging skin and muscles. The cases where one might consider a youthful transformation through lower blepharoplasty are as follows:

People who suffer from severe under-eye wrinkles and are looking for ways to eliminate them.

People whose under-eyes appear shadowed due to bulging under-eye fat.

People with severe dark circles who look tired and are seeking ways to remove them.

People who look older due to severe sagging of the under-eye skin.

People who have lost their under-eye 'aegyo-sal' (cute fat rolls) due to aging.

People who are concerned about various aging phenomena in the under-eye area.

Let's examine how lower blepharoplasty, which fundamentally solves under-eye problems

and also has the effect of tightening sagging under-eye skin, is performed.

Precautions for Lower Blepharoplasty

First and foremost, it is necessary to determine the amount of skin to be removed and design the procedure, considering the extent of sagging under-eye skin and the shape of the under-eye fat.

Afterward, an incision is made inside the eyelid, and the sagging skin and protruding fat are removed. The loosened muscle is pulled and fixed to the conjunctiva, followed by delicate suturing.

In this process, it is crucial to improve both under-eye fat and wrinkled skin

while also considering the loosened under-eye ligaments to prevent complications such as the eyelid turning inside out.

Therefore, it is important to seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and skill.

Lower blepharoplasty applies a method to lift sagging under-eyes caused by aging,

thereby transforming wrinkled under-eyes into a more elastic appearance.

As the under-eye fat that made the eyes appear shadowed disappears,

dark circles are removed, allowing one to enjoy the effects of under-eye dark circle surgery, too,

enabling a transformation to brighter, clearer eyes.

Additionally, the effect of creating under-eye ‘aegyo-sal’ makes it easier to achieve a more youthful

and younger-looking image.

So, what other plastic surgeries can be performed with lower blepharoplasty to achieve more positive

synergistic effects?

For those concerned about protruding under-eye fat and sagging under-eye wrinkles,

combining lower blepharoplasty with under-eye fat removal is also effective.

If you have uneven under-eye fat, lower blepharoplasty combined with

under-eye fat repositioning can help resolve both under-eye fat and sagging.

For individuals with severe sagging of the under-eye skin and muscles, lower blepharoplasty can involve

excising sagging skin, performing under-eye fat removal, and firmly fixing the muscle or

lateral canthal tendon to the periosteum on the outer side of the eye.

If lateral canthopexy is performed concurrently, it is possible to achieve firm under-eyes.

As such, remember that combining lower blepharoplasty with various other anti-aging surgeries

can yield even greater synergistic effects.
