As time goes by and we get older, various changes appear throughout the body.

We can call this aging.

You can see that many aspects of your appearance become different from before, and the skin under the eyes

is also one of the areas where aging progresses quickly, as under-eye fat accumulates, leading to sagging skin

and wrinkles under the eyes, creating an impression of looking older.

Since under-eye fat is one of the representative signs of aging, many people consider under-eye fat surgery

in hopes of improving the look of a younger face

and a brighter under-eye area.

There are various types of under-eye fat surgery, but if a lot of fat has accumulated

and skin sagging is also present, and you want to improve both at once,

lower blepharoplasty can be recommended.

In middle-aged under-eye fat surgery, lower blepharoplasty removes sagging fat and sagging skin under the eyes

to help create a smoother under-eye area.

It is suitable for people in middle age, where signs of aging appear more than in younger age groups,

and who are worried about under-eye wrinkles caused by stretched skin from under-eye fat.

Under-eye fat can appear sufficiently at various ages, but as people gradually get older,

the amount of fat becomes more pronounced, fat accumulates, and this causes

skin laxity. The lower part of the fat creates a dark shadow,

causing dark circles under the eyes and giving the impression of looking tired.

Many people also 고민 between under-eye fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty among under-eye fat surgery options.

Because the surgical method can vary depending on the degree of under-eye fat and the degree of skin sagging,

a thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is necessary for a more accurate diagnosis.

In cases where under-eye fat repositioning is performed in a lower blepharoplasty case,

if only the fat is addressed through under-eye fat repositioning, the excess skin may actually increase, which can

intensify under-eye wrinkles. Therefore, through lower blepharoplasty,

protruding fat should be removed and repositioned / excess skin should be removed / the orbicularis oculi muscle should be repositioned

to strengthen the muscles around the eyes and improve under-eye fat.

During lower blepharoplasty, if too much skin is removed, side effects such as the eye turning outward

may occur. Conversely, if too little is removed, fine lines may not be sufficiently reduced.

Therefore, the procedure should be performed by experienced medical professionals with delicate technical skill

in under-eye fat surgery.

In under-eye fat surgery, how appropriately the skin can be removed is an important factor,

and the amount to be removed can be determined according to the patient’s skin condition, the degree of wrinkles, etc.

The medical team’s judgment, experience, and know-how are very important.
