If Under-Eye Sagging Has Started: Mini Lower Blepharoplasty!

When meeting someone for the first time, the first impression that stays in memory for a long time is very important.

So, what part is considered the most important in forming a first impression?!

Many people would probably say the eyes.

That is because the eyes are the first thing people notice when meeting someone. In this way, the eyes are important not only for first impressions and appearance,

but also functionally. And the eyes, which are so important, are also one of the parts of the body where aging progresses very quickly.

As we get older, skin elasticity decreases, and at the same time, skin loosening and sagging appear.

In particular, the skin around the eyes is very thin and has many fine blood vessels, so signs of aging become especially noticeable and cause concern.

Among the eye area, many people are concerned about the under-eye area.

The skin under the eyes can show aging through various symptoms, including dark circles, wrinkled under-eye skin, sagging skin, and thick fat.

Depending on the condition of the under-eye skin, the appropriate under-eye procedure can differ, and the types of under-eye surgery can also vary.

At Sunplus Plastic Surgery near Sinsa Station, which specializes in under-eye surgery, there are several types of under-eye procedures, including under-eye fat removal, under-eye fat repositioning,

lower blepharoplasty, and mini lower blepharoplasty. We help improve the condition through the appropriate procedure based on the patient’s skin condition, degree of skin sagging, and amount of under-eye fat.

Among various under-eye procedures, if there is some fat and slight skin sagging, you may find yourself wondering whether to have under-eye fat repositioning surgery or lower blepharoplasty.

To help resolve that concern, Sunplus Plastic Surgery may recommend mini lower blepharoplasty.

If you only undergo under-eye fat repositioning surgery, fine wrinkles may remain due to excess skin.

Lower blepharoplasty may be recommended, but if you are relatively young and feel burdened by the incision involved in lower blepharoplasty, mini lower blepharoplasty may be a better fit with a comparatively lower burden.

At Sinsa Station Sunplus Plastic Surgery, mini lower blepharoplasty is suitable when there is a little skin sagging, making under-eye fat repositioning insufficient, but not so much sagging that extensive skin removal through lower blepharoplasty is necessary.

At Sunplus, after repositioning the under-eye fat through an incision on the inside of the eye, an incision of about 1 cm is made on the outer side, and the muscles around the eyes are repositioned.

After mini lower blepharoplasty, you can confirm improvement in hollow areas and thick fat.

Skin sagging under the eyes may also improve through muscle repositioning.

If under-eye fat, under-eye skin sagging, and under-eye wrinkles are severe, lower blepharoplasty may be more recommended than mini lower blepharoplasty.

It can be recommended for people in a relatively younger age group whose under-eye skin condition is not severe.

The incision area for mini lower blepharoplasty is smaller than that of lower blepharoplasty, and recovery is faster, reducing the burden.

In addition, Sunplus Plastic Surgery helps with faster recovery through a variety of recovery management systems, including swelling laser treatment.

Recovery from mini lower blepharoplasty does not differ greatly from under-eye fat repositioning surgery in terms of bruising and swelling.

Visible bruising and swelling are minimal, and stitches in the small incision at the outer corner of the eye are removed after one week.

Unlike lower blepharoplasty, which involves an incision along the entire under-eye area, mini lower blepharoplasty reduces the incision range and helps improve under-eye skin fat and fine wrinkles.
