What Is Lower Blepharoplasty + Midface Lift?

SH Plastic Surgery

Lower blepharoplasty with a midface lift improves under-eye fat, tear troughs and sagging cheek tissue together.
Lower blepharoplasty refines puffy under-eye fat and loose skin,

while the midface lift raises and fixes sagging tissue from below the eyes through the front cheeks and cheeks,
creating a youthful facial line that flows naturally from the under-eyes to the cheeks and nasolabial folds.

It does not simply pull the skin;
it is structural anti-aging surgery that corrects the skin, fat and fascia together.

What matters in under-eye surgery is not simply removing fat, but
restoring the sagging midface structure as well.

Why it is insufficient

Why Lower Blepharoplasty Alone Is Not Enough

Under-eye aging is often not just a matter of under-eye fat;
it happens as the midface tissue sags as well.
When the front cheeks and cheeks below the eyes sag, the following signs appear together.

  • Under-eye hollows
  • Tear troughs
  • Sagging cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds

In such cases, lower blepharoplasty alone only flattens the under-eyes while the sagging cheeks
remain, which can create an unnatural look.

So when under-eye and midface sagging occur together,
combining lower blepharoplasty with a midface lift is more effective.

SH's Approach to Facial Structure

Leonardo da Vinci's
structural analysis
SH's lower blepharoplasty · midface lift

To draw a beautiful face, Leonardo da Vinci
did not simply trace its outline.
He divided the face by reference points and analyzed the role of each position.

SH's lower blepharoplasty · midface lift
is not simple under-eye surgery, but structural anti-aging surgery that corrects the midface structure as well.

SH Plastic Surgery's Surgical Principles

Plastic surgery is not simply a technique for changing appearance;
it is medicine that understands the structure and balance of the face.

For natural and stable results, SH Plastic Surgery performs surgery
based on the following principles.

1

We analyze structure first

The eyes, nose and face are not independent structures; they influence each other to form your impression.

SH Plastic Surgery does not look only at the shape of the eyes or nose; we analyze

  • Eyeball position
  • Brow bone structure
  • Facial skeleton
  • Tissue balance

to understand the facial structure first.

2

We value balance over excessive change

The goal of plastic surgery is not to change the face excessively
but to improve its overall balance.

SH Plastic Surgery considers facial proportions and harmony
to pursue natural and stable change.

3

Surgery begins with design

Good results are not suddenly created in the operating room.
We create a design suited to your facial structure through accurate analysis, and the surgery is performed based on that design.

SH Plastic Surgery performs design-based surgery grounded in structural analysis.

4

We consider long-term stability

Results should look natural not only right after surgery but also as time passes.

SH Plastic Surgery chooses the surgical method
with tissue stability and long-term change in mind.

5

Patient safety comes first

The most important thing in plastic surgery is patient safety.

  • A dedicated, accountable medical team
  • Surgeon name disclosure in the operating room
  • Systematic management of the surgical environment

These measures keep the surgical environment safe.
