[Etone TV] Fix Under-Eye Sagging! A Youthful Eye Shape Restored with Lower Blepharoplasty

I’d like to talk about

the “lower blepharoplasty” procedure

that many people are curious about.

I hope this will be useful for those who are worried about

under-eye sagging or wrinkles,

a tired-looking eye area,

and similar concerns.

✅ When is lower blepharoplasty needed?

✅ How is the surgery performed?

✅ Surgery time and scarring

✅ Possible side effects after lower blepharoplasty and how to deal with them

✅ Ways to improve surgical results and satisfaction

✅ Practical advice on the timing of lower blepharoplasty

I’ll explain these points.

Lower blepharoplasty is

a procedure mainly considered when,

as people age,

the area under the eyes sags and wrinkles form,

or

the under-eye area becomes puffy

and looks tired.

It usually starts to become noticeable in the mid-30s,

and by around the 40s,

most people have it.

When this happens,

it can make you look tired.

Even at a younger age,

if the under-eye muscles are thin or weak,

the area can look like dark circles,

and in such cases,

procedures may also be done to restore a more youthful-looking eye area.

The basic method of lower blepharoplasty is

to make an incision

just below the eyelashes.

This is a location where the scar later becomes barely noticeable.

Then, the protruding fat is moved

to the sunken area

to make the under-eye area flat.

This is called “fat repositioning.”

Finally,

the loosened muscle is

gently pulled and fixed in place.

Lower blepharoplasty generally takes

about 1 hour,

but regarding scars after surgery,

scars

differ slightly from person to person.

In fact, younger people

are more likely to have more noticeable scars,

while older people

tend to have less.

This is due to factors such as

skin laxity

and immune response.

The size of the incision also varies

from person to person.

If someone is younger and needs faster recovery,

or if the sagging is not severe,

the incision may be made a bit smaller,

while for older patients

or cases that need more correction of sagging,

the incision may be made slightly longer.

In fact, scars are

not something you need to worry about too much.

That’s because

they are barely visible.

Right after surgery,

they may look red for a short time,

but women can cover them with makeup,

and for men as well, they are rarely a major issue.

The most commonly known side effect is

ectropion, which means the eyelid turns outward.

This can also happen naturally with aging,

even without surgery.

The eyelids

help hold the eye in place

so it doesn’t spill out,

but as people age,

the muscles weaken and the eyelids become loose.

However, after surgery,

if the supporting force is weak but the pulling force is too strong,

the eyelid can turn outward.

It can also happen when too much skin is removed,

or

in some cases, even if not much skin was removed,

the scar tissue formed during recovery becomes too strong

and pulls the eyelid outward,

but

most cases can be corrected.

For first-time surgery patients,

it seems to occur rarely,

but for revision surgery patients

or those who previously developed ectropion,

there is a possibility of occurrence.

After lower blepharoplasty,

under-eye wrinkles can be

smoothed out almost completely,

or intentionally left slightly.

Depending on the patient’s face,

fully smoothing them may look natural in some cases,

because if the area is made too tight,

it can make the expression look cold

or awkward.

It is important to consider the overall harmony of the face.

Rather than worrying about the under-eye area on your own,

it is best to look at your current under-eye condition

and consult a specialist.

For the timing of surgery,

I recommend consulting a specialist

when you personally feel it is needed.😀
