Under-eye wrinkles, under-eye fat, dark circles? Solve them with lower blepharoplasty!
Many people desire a youthful appearance and seek anti-aging solutions. Lower blepharoplasty can address under-eye wrinkles, fat, and dark circles, which are common signs of aging due to the thin, delicate skin around the eyes. This procedure removes or repositions under-eye fat and tightens sagging skin and muscles, restoring a brighter, more youthful look.


Everyone hopes to achieve a youthful-looking face.
They also want to maintain a younger appearance for longer.
For this reason, many try various cosmetics that claim to have anti-aging effects,
but often don't see significant results, leading them to consider anti-aging cosmetic surgery.

Aging is a very natural phenomenon that comes with time.
Among the areas affected, the lower eyelids are particularly prone to rapid aging
due to their thin and delicate skin.
When aging affects the under-eye area,
it can lead to a decrease in skin elasticity,
causing under-eye wrinkles.
Alternatively, the fat layer surrounding the eyes may loosen,
causing under-eye fat to protrude.
This protruding fat can also be the cause of dark circles,
making the under-eye area appear shadowed and giving not only an older image
but also a tired impression.

As such, under-eye wrinkles, under-eye fat, and dark circles
can significantly impact one's impression.
The wrinkle-reducing surgical method often chosen to address these concerns is ‘lower blepharoplasty’.
Lower blepharoplasty is an anti-aging eye surgery that removes and repositions bulging under-eye fat,
and lifts and fixes sagging skin and muscles.

If you have severe under-eye wrinkles and are looking for ways to eliminate them,
if bulging under-eye fat makes your eyes look shadowed,
if severe dark circles give you a tired impression and you're seeking methods to remove them,
if severe sagging under-eye skin makes you look older,
or if you've lost your under-eye 'aegyo-sal' due to aging,
and have been concerned by various signs of aging under your eyes,
it's time to consider lower blepharoplasty.

So, how is lower blepharoplasty performed to address under-eye fat
and tighten sagging under-eye skin?
First, it requires a process of determining and designing the amount of skin to be removed,
considering the degree of sagging under-eye skin and the shape of the under-eye fat.
Afterward, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid,
sagging skin and protruding fat are removed, and loose muscles are tightened.
These are then fixed to the conjunctiva, followed by a delicate suturing process.
This method improves both under-eye fat and wrinkled skin,
but it is crucial to have the surgery performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon
who can consider the degree of laxity in the under-eye ligament
to prevent complications such as eversion of the eyelid.

Lower blepharoplasty lifts sagging under-eyes caused by aging,
providing the effect of removing fine under-eye wrinkles.
With the effects of under-eye fat removal and repositioning,
it can create firm under-eyes.
As the under-eye fat that made the eyes look shadowed disappears,
dark circles are removed, and you can enjoy the effect of under-eye dark circle surgery,
restoring bright and vibrant eyes.
Furthermore, lower blepharoplasty considers each individual's facial features
to design the ideal under-eye shape before surgery,
resulting in the creation of 'aegyo-sal' (under-eye fat rolls that give a youthful look),
transforming you into a younger-looking image.

Many people might be curious about which hospital is best for lower blepharoplasty.
First, it's important to ascertain if the medical team has sufficient clinical experience
to improve various aging phenomena under the eyes,
and if they have a thorough understanding of the anatomical structure of the eye to perform the surgery.
It's also beneficial to inquire about and proceed with a customized surgical plan
based on the degree of under-eye aging in each individual,
and what other anti-aging procedures might be good to combine.
Most importantly, you should look for a hospital that performs the procedure with minimal incisions to leave almost no scars,
and offers a fast recovery period to minimize swelling and pain.

Finally, let me introduce some eye surgeries that can be combined with lower blepharoplasty for enhanced results.
If you've been concerned about protruding under-eye fat and sagging under-eye wrinkles,
it's advisable to combine lower blepharoplasty with under-eye fat removal.
If under-eye fat is uneven, lower blepharoplasty combined with
under-eye fat repositioning can resolve both under-eye fat and sagging.
If the sagging of under-eye skin and muscles is severe,
lower blepharoplasty can involve excising the sagging skin and performing under-eye fat removal,
along with canthopexy, which firmly fixes the muscle or lateral canthal tendon to the periosteum on the outer side of the eye,
to achieve firm under-eyes.
As such, lower blepharoplasty can offer even greater synergistic effects when combined with various anti-aging procedures.
Therefore, you should carefully examine which hospital offers customized anti-aging eye surgery solutions
tailored to each individual's aging phenomena.
Depending on whether solutions like under-eye fat removal or under-eye fat repositioning are combined,
the cost of lower blepharoplasty can range from 1 million to 3 million won.
Through sufficient consultation, aim to achieve good results at a reasonable price.
