For Middle-Aged Under-Eye Concerns at Plastic Surgery Clinics in Mok-dong, Omokgyo, and Yeongdeungpo, Is Laser Treatment the Answer?

Hello~

This is Stella :0

Many middle-aged people visit Stella because of concerns about sagging under the eyes and under-eye fat.

One of the questions we are frequently asked during consultations is...

Can under-eye fat be removed using only a laser?

Many people research under-eye fat removal online before coming in for a consultation~

Under-eye fat can be removed relatively simply using a laser or through a transconjunctival approach.

However!

The most important thing is determining whether under-eye fat is the only problem,

or whether hollowness and sagging are also present.

If you decide on fat removal based only on the bulging appearance,

but hollowness and sagging are actually the bigger concerns,

you may be less satisfied with the results after surgery.

If the skin is already loose,

there are limitations to simply reducing the amount of fat!

Before surgery

The under-eye area in middle age needs to be assessed in three dimensions, more than you might expect.

It is not simply an area where the amount of fat has increased.

As we age, the structures supporting the fat weaken,

the under-eye groove becomes hollow,

and the skin sags,

so multiple signs of aging appear simultaneously in one area.

In this situation, simply removing the protruding fat with a laser

is often not sufficient.

When only under-eye fat is removed

Before surgery

After only under-eye fat removal

Because the client above is an office worker, they felt that an incisional procedure would be burdensome.

Our clinic recommended an incisional procedure, but they ultimately decided to have only the fat removed.

What do you think? Were they satisfied?

As expected,

they returned to the clinic because the wrinkles under their eyes had become more pronounced.

So what would be the better approach???

Lower blepharoplasty to remove loose skin

Lower-eyelid fat repositioning with a skin incision should be performed

to reduce the bulging fat,

soften the hollow areas,

and refine the loose skin at the same time.

After lower-eyelid fat repositioning

Because this procedure directly removes and tightens the skin under the eyes,

the surgeon’s experience and skill are very important.

We recommend first having a thorough consultation and examination with the doctor to determine whether your eyes are in a condition that can be adequately treated with fat removal alone,

or whether lower-eyelid fat repositioning would be more appropriate^^
