[Diva Plastic Surgery] Can Lower Blepharoplasty and Lateral Canthopexy be Performed Simultaneously with Lower Eyelid Lift?

The first place to show signs of aging as time passes is

around the eyes. The area under the eyes tends to age faster

than the upper eyelids. Due to this aging of the lower eyelids,

many people consider lower blepharoplasty to address

their increasingly aged appearance.

However, lower blepharoplasty alone often struggles to improve

sagging under the eyes all at once. To remove the aesthetically unpleasing

bulging fat under the eyes while simultaneously lifting the sagging fat,

Dr. Kim Jong-myung of Diva Plastic Surgery explained the dual-benefit

lower eyelid lift procedure in a video! Shall we check it out together~?

As explained in the video, the lower eyelid lift procedure combines

lower blepharoplasty with lateral canthopexy.

It is performed when traditional lower blepharoplasty alone cannot fully

improve all signs of aging under the eyes.

Let me explain lower blepharoplasty and lateral canthopexy

in more detail!

What is Lower Blepharoplasty? Lower Eyelid Lift STEP 1

Lower blepharoplasty involves making an incision along the lash line

to the outer corner of the eye to remove and reposition bulging fat.

An appropriate amount of sagging skin is excised to improve

skin wrinkles simultaneously.

The amount of skin to be removed is determined by considering the condition of the sagging skin and the shape of the fat, and the design is customized to the individual's eye shape,

resulting in brighter, younger-looking eyes.

By removing and repositioning the bulging fat caused by sagging skin and fat under the eyes due to aging,

a more youthful appearance can be achieved. It also simultaneously addresses under-eye wrinkles and dark circles,

leading to a more favorable image.

Furthermore, based on extensive surgical experience and meticulous techniques,

minimal incision and precise suturing minimize concerns about scarring,

making it even more trustworthy.

What is Lateral Canthopexy? Lower Eyelid Lift STEP 2

Lateral canthopexy is a method of fixing the sagging skin tissue and muscles

around the outer corner of the eye to the periosteum.

Lower blepharoplasty is performed to improve aging around the eyes,

but excessive muscle excision or extending the incision line medially

can increase the risk of nerve damage,

potentially leading to ectropion (eversion of the eyelid). Therefore, through a lower eyelid lift,

after lower blepharoplasty, lateral canthopexy is performed simultaneously

to reduce the risk of ectropion and address sagging under the eyes that cannot be resolved

by lower blepharoplasty alone.
