Lower Blepharoplasty

Removing under-eye fat and dark circles gives you a youthful appearance.

What is Low Blepharoplasty?

Generally speaking, the lower eyelid ages faster than the upper eyelid because the structure of the fat pockets in the lower eyelid is weaker and can sag more easily.

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to restore elasticity to the lower eyelids that have become saggy and puffy. As we age, the fat in our lower eyelids bulges out, causing shadows or dark circles due to pigmentation. The goal is to restore elasticity by repositioning or removing the under-eye fat that makes you look older and tired.

Because everyone's facial proportions are different, you should consult with your healthcare professional before proceeding with surgery.

Procedure of Lower Blepharoplasty

Not only does it remove under-eye circles and add just the right amount of volume to the jowls for a more youthful appearance, but it also tightens stretched muscles, rather than just removing skin, so that they look natural while preventing recurrence.

SH Clinic's lower blepharoplasty is performed with micro-incisions close to the lower lash line, resulting in virtually no visible scarring.

About Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery

There is noticeable swelling for about a week after the surgery, but it becomes much more natural after two weeks. After that, there will be some minor swelling until one month, and the final results can be judged after two to three months. During this time, the skin tissue will stabilize and any fine scars from the surgery site will gradually fade.

Low Blepharoplasty is for people like this

Who Should Have Lower Blepharoplasty

Causes of dark circles - the appearance of under-eye fat

1. Protruding-Type Under-Eye Fat

If you have puffy under-eye bags and tear troughs forming under them

2. Hollow-Type Under-Eye Fat

If you have an insufficient amount of fat under your eyes to make them look sunken in

3. Skin-penetrating

If you see a reddish muscle tone or greenish blood vessels

Lower blepharoplasty is indicated when fat deposits under the eyes cause the skin to sag, or if you have severe dark circles or under-eye bags. It is also effective if you want to improve the appearance of tiredness or age.

The incision is made below the lash line, so there is very little external scarring - if any scarring is left, it will heal naturally over time and become almost invisible.
