Medical Information

Hello. We are SH Plastic Surgery, specializing and focusing on various eye plastic surgeries, including lower blepharoplasty.

Our eyes play a very crucial role in determining first impressions, to the extent that a person's unique vibe is defined by the shape of their eyes. In particular, because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive area on the face, starting from one's late 20s, a decrease in collagen and elastin, protrusion of orbital fat (under-eye fat), and a loss of skin elasticity progress simultaneously, leading to a phenomenon where the under-eye area appears bulging or darkly hollowed out. Although this is commonly perceived as "under-eye fat protrusion" or "dark circles," the fundamental cause is structural changes in the lower eyelid area.

For this reason, many individuals seeking to resolve and improve aging and various other aesthetic concerns regarding their eyes visit SH Plastic Surgery, thoroughly check the lower blepharoplasty cost and recovery period, compare them with other clinics, and receive detailed consultations with our head director. After concluding the consultation, many decide to undergo surgery at our clinic and receive personalized, custom-tailored lower blepharoplasty based on a surgical plan designed to suit their individual conditions.

Plastic surgery tailored perfectly for you, even taking the lower blepharoplasty cost into account

In today's post, among the eye surgeries we focus on at SH Plastic Surgery, we will explain lower blepharoplasty, which has recently been performed on patients across various age groups. We hope this will be a helpful reference for many considering various eye surgeries, such as middle-aged eye surgery, in choosing an ideal clinic that offers reasonable lower blepharoplasty costs combined with high surgical quality. :)

Lower Blepharoplasty Surgical Methods

Lower blepharoplasty, or under-eye plastic surgery—an eye procedure recently being received by various age groups—aims to improve signs of aging around the eyes by repositioning or removing protruding under-eye fat and tightening sagging skin and muscles. Rather than simply extracting fat, the core of this surgery is smoothly restoring the contours under the eyes while simultaneously considering complex issues such as under-eye hollowing, protrusion, and loss of elasticity.

The approach to lower blepharoplasty varies depending on the patient's skin elasticity, degree of fat protrusion, and wrinkle status. Surgical methods are broadly divided into two types based on the incision technique: incisional lower blepharoplasty and non-incisional (transconjunctival) lower blepharoplasty.

The incisional method involves making a fine incision directly beneath the eyelashes to trim protruding fat and resect sagging skin; it is generally suitable for individuals with significant skin sagging or severe fine lines. For middle-aged individuals troubled by fine wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes, incisional lower blepharoplasty—while considering the cost aspect—can effectively correct age-related sagging skin and muscle around the eyes, allowing them to anticipate an overall lifting effect under the eyes as well. However, please note that the recovery period may be somewhat longer compared to the non-incisional method. :)

The non-incisional (transconjunctival) method is more frequently applied to younger age groups rather than middle-aged individuals; it is suitable for cases where skin elasticity is maintained due to younger age, yet protruding fat is a concern. Approaching through the conjunctiva inside the eye, this lower blepharoplasty repositions or partially removes under-eye fat, offering the advantages of leaving no visible scars and enabling quick recovery. However, unlike incisional lower blepharoplasty, which provides a skin-lifting effect, it is difficult to improve skin sagging around the eyes with this method.

Therefore, for those researching clinics while considering various factors such as the cost and methods of lower blepharoplasty, it would be beneficial to study in advance which surgical method suits your age group and under-eye skin condition. The recovery period after lower blepharoplasty is generally about 5 days to a week, after which daily life can be resumed immediately. Bruising and swelling vary by individual, but most improve within 1 to 2 weeks.

Effects of Lower Blepharoplasty

The effects of lower blepharoplasty are usually dramatic, making it an eye surgery that brings high satisfaction to many patients who have undergone the procedure at our clinic. An aged-looking face appears younger due to the improvement of under-eye sagging and wrinkles, and the eye shape becomes clearer and more defined. This eye surgery corrects the underlying structure beneath the eyes and brightens the overall impression, naturally improving a fatigued, aged facial image into a youthful, likable impression. In addition, by filling the "sunken under-eye areas" through fat repositioning, you can achieve a soft, three-dimensional face.

SH Lower Blepharoplasty Before & After Cases

The photos above show before-and-after comparison cases of actual patients at SH Plastic Surgery who thoroughly evaluated the surgical cost and recovery period, felt they were reasonable, and underwent customized lower blepharoplasty. Looking directly from the front, the pre-operative photos show eyes that appear weak and noticeably sagging, whereas the post-operative appearance shows much more defined eyes and a clearer overall impression. The facial image has noticeably improved, and the overall balance of facial features has shifted to be more harmonious than before, looking both youthful and pretty.

If You Are Considering Lower Blepharoplasty

If you are planning lower blepharoplasty, you must be operated on by specialized medical staff with high anatomical understanding and knowledge of the eyes, delicate surgical techniques, and ample surgical experience. Because the eyes are an area where an impression can change drastically with just a small incision and subtle fat adjustments, it is critical to establish a customized lower blepharoplasty plan suited to your unique face through thorough individual consultation with a plastic surgeon specialized in eye surgery with extensive clinical experience.

This concludes today's post on lower blepharoplasty. We hope this was a helpful guide for those who have frequently been told they look tired due to bulging or dark under-eyes and were curious about lower blepharoplasty. If you undergo eye surgery at a clinic with reliable resident specialists, you can regain bright, natural-looking eyes that suit your innate face. We will be back next time with another plastic surgery topic. Have a pleasant and healthy day. Thank you!
