A surgery that corrects drooping skin, wrinkles, and fat protrusion of the lower eyelid.
Overview
Lower blepharoplasty corrects sagging skin, fine wrinkles, and protruding orbital fat of the lower eyelid. It can be performed through an external skin incision (below the lash line) or a transconjunctival incision (internal approach), and is often combined with lower eyelid fat repositioning. It improves under-eye wrinkles and puffiness for a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Mechanism
Through external approach: incision below the lash line allows excision of excess skin and muscle, access to orbital fat for removal or repositioning, and skin tightening. Through transconjunctival approach: internal incision accesses fat only without skin excision, ideal for younger patients with fat herniation but no skin laxity. Combination approaches address both skin and fat components for comprehensive lower eyelid rejuvenation.
Effects
Reduction of under-eye wrinkles, correction of lower eyelid puffiness, smoother under-eye contour, removal of excess skin, and overall lower eyelid rejuvenation.
Duration
Long-lasting; results typically maintained for 5-10+ years before aging creates new changes
Recovery
Swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks. External stitches removed at 5-7 days. Cold compresses for first 48 hours. Head elevation recommended. Makeup possible after stitch removal. Final result at 1-3 months.
Side Effects
Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness. Risk of ectropion (lower eyelid pulling down), scleral show, dry eyes, asymmetry, under-correction, and visible scarring (external approach). Conservative approach recommended to protect eyelid position.
Price Range
1,500,000-3,000,000 KRW
Target Audience
Those with under-eye wrinkles, lower eyelid sagging, under-eye bags, and those seeking lower eyelid rejuvenation for a younger, refreshed look.
