Were you curious about swelling and recovery after lower blepharoplasty?

Hello, this is the friendly senior doctor at Noon High Plastic Surgery.

Did you know that the area where aging appears first on our faces is under the eyes?

Changes under the eyes at age 25 vs. 40

Aging that happened under my eyes over 15 years

For reference, Dr. Park did not have double-eyelid surgery!

As he got older, his eyelids sagged, but because his eye-opening strength was good, a double eyelid crease formed where the skin folded over once.

He hates how greasy it looks so much, haha.

As you can see in the photo above,

as we age, the area under the eyes looks longer and more hollow.

Of course, the pattern of aging varies from person to person,

so for some people, eye bags may protrude instead.

Looking around the people near me,

it seems that under-eye sagging appears as early as the mid-30s,

and at the latest from the early 40s.

Then!!

To treat this aging, which starts earlier than anything else in our lives,

how long should the recovery period be?

To answer this question that many people are curious about,

I’d like to introduce the swelling and recovery after lower under-eye fat repositioning through a case of a customer who recently received Noon High’s signature Dark Circle Package program.

I’m worried about dark circles under my eyes

Noon High customer concerned about dark circles

She had dark circles even when she was young,

but after giving birth, the area under her eyes looked even duller,

so she visited Noon High Plastic Surgery.

In cases like this, is lower blepharoplasty alone enough?

8 weeks after lower blepharoplasty

Yes!

In many cases, fat repositioning alone is enough.

But Dr. Park at Noon High Plastic Surgery

has performed a wide range of lower-eye surgeries over many years,

and after taking photos of his own results and analyzing them relentlessly,

he has developed the strange ability to look at a customer’s face and picture the post-op result in his mind—knowing exactly how far he can fill and where he cannot.

Haha.

In the end, when Noon High Plastic Surgery determines that it will be difficult to sufficiently fill hollow areas with the patient’s own existing fat volume,

we recommend under-eye fat grafting as well.

Fat grafting diagram

As shown in the illustration above,

fat grafting is a treatment in which fat is harvested from an area of the body with plenty of fat, usually the lower abdomen or thighs,

after which only the denser components are filtered out and transplanted.

Then, taking it a step further!

If you also want to address dark circles like the customer above, what should you do??

Will lower blepharoplasty alone be enough?

Would adding fat grafting help?

Lower blepharoplasty + nano fat grafting + laser

Noon High’s solution

Noon High’s answer is

to perform all three at the same time!

3 months after dark circle treatment

This is a customer who was happy after receiving dark circle treatment from Dr. Park at Noon High.

It’s been 3 months since the surgery, and they look much brighter, right?

What is nano fat grafting?

Unlike regular fat grafting, which fills in lost volume,

nano fat grafting is rich in stem-cell components.

SVF present around blood vessels and fat cells

Its volume effect is weaker than that of regular fat grafting,

which is why there is no need to worry about the under-eye area becoming uneven.

Noon High Plastic Surgery’s genuine nano fat set

Nano fat grafting

filters the harvested fat once more through a fine disposable filter,

so it is accurate to understand it as fat rich in finer-particle stem cells.

I’ll keep how much nano fat was injected as a secret known only to the Noon High family^^

Part of the record

What is the recovery process after under-eye surgery?

So!

In the end, you’re asking how many days you can take off work, right?

You’re reading this because you want to hear that answer, right?

Lower blepharoplasty + nano fat grafting + laser: before, 4 days after, 7 days after

But surgery has many unpredictable aspects.

So although we would also like to say exactly, "You can return to work after n days," ... ㅠㅠ

it really varies from case to case, and plastic surgery is very much case-by-case and person-by-person.

The case above shows the average swelling and bruising after the Dark Circle Package performed at Noon High.

What do you think? Even with swelling, doesn’t it already look pretty?

Since lower under-eye fat repositioning does not involve an external skin incision,

makeup can cover the bruising from the early stages of recovery.

If your job involves little social interaction, about 3 to 4 days seems sufficient.

If you have an important meeting or a meeting between families coming up, you should probably allow about a month for recovery...

But this is only about Dr. Park’s average surgical results,

and since everyone’s fat volume and condition are different,

it would be best to visit in person for more accurate information.

For reference,

lower blepharoplasty tends to have swelling that lasts a bit longer...
