When looking at a person, the eyes
are the first area people notice,
and especially in times like today’s COVID era,
since we wear masks for long periods,
they have become an area that people pay more attention to.
However, as skin aging appears,
wrinkles and sagging skin develop,
and in the under-eye area, fat can bulge out,
making you look older
from an appearance standpoint.
As a way to improve this,
at April 31 Plastic Surgery,
we can recommend lower eyelid surgery for middle age.
We hope you can create a younger eye shape
with lower eyelid surgery for middle age,
which evens out the under-eye area,
making it bright and more youthful~

How is
the lower eyelid
surgery performed?
Before the consultation, for middle-aged lower eyelid surgery,
the director first assesses the patient’s eye condition
to check how much sagging there is
and how much fat is present.
Then unnecessary fat and sagging skin
are removed appropriately,
and the sagging under-eye skin is tightened.
Finally, the fat is repositioned
to smooth out the protruding areas.

April 31 Plastic Surgery’s
lower eyelid surgery...
Minimal-incision lower eyelid blepharoplasty
One of the concerns when undergoing lower eyelid surgery
is often worry about scarring.
April 31’s lower eyelid surgery removes
the unevenly bulging fat under the eyes,
and by making a small incision near the outer corner of the eye,
it fixes the orbicularis oculi muscle and the stretched septum
to the outside together,
preventing orbital fat from bulging out.
For those with many fine wrinkles
Suture method
For those with little to no under-eye fat bulging,
and with sagging skin and many fine wrinkles,
the skin alone is excised
to improve aged under-eye skin.
Under-eye fat repositioning
If the fat is excessively bulging,
it is spread and fixed downward beneath the orbit
through under-eye fat repositioning.
When fat repositioning is performed,
the hollow area below the dark circles can also be corrected.
SOOF fat lift
For those who have both under-eye sagging
and cheek sagging,
it is beneficial to perform a SOOF lift,
which elevates the muscle-fat layer around the cheekbone upward.
When performed together, you can expect
a more youthful overall appearance around the eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery is
recommended for these people
Lower eyelid surgery is recommended for people like those above.
If you are stressed about aged under-eye skin,
such as those with bulging fat pockets under the eyes,
those with under-eye wrinkles due to sagging skin,
those with severe dark circles,
or those who want more prominent under-eye volume,
we hope you can achieve a brighter eye shape
through April 31’s lower eyelid surgery.

If you are worried about a sagging eye shape
and want to create a firmer eye shape,
rather than being too greedy and removing too much skin or fat,
the key is to have thorough consultation with an experienced specialist
and then have an appropriate amount removed.
