[Diva Plastic Surgery] New Year's Youthful Eye Surgery... Lower Blepharoplasty, Under-eye Fat Removal, and Dark Circle Surgery to Improve Under-eye Aging

Hello! This is Diva Plastic Surgery^^

For those stressed by increasing wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes as the years pass,

we believe you're looking for solutions to address these concerns quickly.

However, some individuals hesitate because they lack detailed information about solutions that can restore a youthful eye line.

At Diva Plastic Surgery, we offer lower blepharoplasty to improve the impression of looking older and tired, which results from sagging skin and fat around the eyes, leading to bulging under-eye fat or increased under-eye wrinkles.

This solution is particularly appealing to many because it not only improves under-eye wrinkles and dark circles but also tightens both the skin and muscles, creating a firm under-eye line.

Therefore, if you are someone who has lost under-eye 'aegyo-sal' due to aging or looks tired due to severe dark circles, and you'd like more detailed information about our lower blepharoplasty, which delivers satisfying results, shall we take some time to address your questions through an interview with our Chief Director, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, published in JoongAng Ilbo?

The year 2019, the Year of the Golden Pig, has dawned. Every new year brings a mix of fear and excitement. This is because the anticipation of a new year coexists with the stress of getting one year older. In particular, increasing wrinkles around the eyes and sagging skin as the years pass can be a major concern.

Amidst this, a strong anti-aging trend has recently emerged not only among middle-aged and elderly individuals but also among younger generations, with 'youthful-looking' plastic surgery gaining significant popularity. The overall beauty trend is also leaning towards a youthful appearance, leading to increased interest in various lifting procedures for wrinkle improvement, as well as 'youthful-looking' plastic surgeries such as under-eye fat repositioning, lower blepharoplasty, and dark circle surgery.

Lower blepharoplasty, in particular, helps improve the signs of aging that are prominent under the eyes. Lower blepharoplasty refers to the phenomenon where under-eye fat protrudes or wrinkles become severe due to the sagging of surrounding skin and fat with aging. When protruding under-eye fat creates dark circles, it leads to under-eye hollowness, making the face appear dull and older.

Regarding this, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, a plastic surgeon and chief director of Diva Plastic Surgery at Sinsa Station in Seoul, who is also the brother of Kim Jong-kook, currently active in the popular entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy', explained, ‘Lower blepharoplasty, which helps improve under-eye wrinkles and dark circles, removes under-eye fat and sagging under-eye skin, creating a more elastic eye area, which can lead to clearer and more defined eyes.’

Many reviews of lower blepharoplasty mention that the surgery is performed through the inside of the lower eyelid, leaving no scars, and swelling is minimal, leading to a fast recovery period. If there is severe sagging of the eye skin and muscles, it is advisable to combine it with canthopexy, which involves removing under-eye wrinkles and excising skin, along with fixing the muscle or lateral canthal tendon to the outer periosteum of the eye for lifting.

Additionally, under-eye fat removal and under-eye fat repositioning are known as 'youthful-looking' surgeries. While these can be applied depending on the individual's condition, it's important to know in advance that they primarily involve simply removing or repositioning under-eye fat and do not fundamentally address sagging under-eye skin and muscles.

If dark circle surgery is a concern, various non-surgical under-eye management methods can also be chosen. These include under-eye toning, fillers, regenerative injections, and lifting lasers, which have the advantage of improving sagging and loose under-eye skin and dark circles almost as effectively as surgery.

However, since the applicable procedures, prices, and costs vary depending on the individual's condition, it is advisable to seek consultation at a reputable clinic with experienced and knowledgeable plastic surgeons who specialize in these procedures and surgeries.

Regarding this, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, Chief Director of Diva Plastic Surgery in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam, stated, ‘As the popularity of a youthful appearance increases among all ages and genders, so does the interest in finding clinics that excel in related plastic surgery.’ He added, ‘However, rather than blindly favoring a specific procedure or surgical method, if you get an accurate diagnosis of your current condition from medical staff and receive customized plastic surgery accordingly, you will be able to achieve more satisfactory results.’
