Bulging under the eyes or pronounced shadows can easily create a tired appearance.

However, the question many people ask most often during consultations is not about the surgery itself, but rather, “How long does recovery take?”

Today, we will introduce the recovery process after lower eyelid surgery through an actual patient case.

Comparison before surgery and 3 months after surgery

In this case, lower eyelid surgery was performed together with lower eyelid fat repositioning and SMAS fixation.

Before surgery, the fat under the eyes was protruding forward, with a deep tear trough formed beneath it.

After 3 months, the protruding fat had been refined, and the area under the eyes had changed to create a more natural and comfortable appearance.

Recovery progresses in stages.

Many people become concerned when they see their appearance immediately after surgery,

but in reality, recovery takes place through the following process.

  • Before surgery

  • Immediately after surgery

  • 7 days (suture removal)

  • 1 month

  • 3 months

Bruising and swelling gradually decrease over time,

and the final changes in appearance emerge little by little as the tissues stabilize.

Therefore, with lower eyelid surgery, it is more important to consider the recovery process as a whole rather than focusing only on the immediate postoperative appearance.

Natural-looking changes begin with appropriately measured correction.

In this case as well, the surgery was performed not by pulling the area under the eyes excessively or removing a large amount of fat,

but by repositioning the necessary amount of fat and providing stable structural support.

As a result, rather than making it obvious that surgery had been performed,

the previously tired-looking appearance was improved to look more natural and comfortable.

Lower eyelid surgery is not simply a procedure to remove skin;

it is important to understand the structures under the eyes and consider long-term stability as well.

안성민성형외과 analyzes each individual's eye condition and provides care with the goal of achieving natural-looking results that last, rather than excessive correction.

If you have any questions, we can explain the treatment approach suited to your current eye condition through a consultation.
