“Lately, the area under my eyes has been sagging quite a bit,
and it seems protruded, so I’m worried.
Even my dark circles look severe,
and I’m planning lower blepharoplasty,
so is there anything I absolutely need to know?”
As time passes, our bodies go through changes that are not very welcome.
In particular, the skin around the eyes, where the skin is thin and there is a lot of movement, tends to show these changes relatively quickly.
If you are reading this, you may be deeply concerned about sagging and protruding skin under the eyes.
Or you may be looking for information about ‘lower blepharoplasty’ to improve this.
Today, at Ribbon Plastic Surgery, where we suggest only the surgeries truly needed for each patient, I would like to explain in detail about the representative midlife eye surgery, ‘lower blepharoplasty.’
If you are stressed by dark circles that cannot be covered even with makeup, fine wrinkles under the eyes, or protruding and sagging fat under the eyes, the following post may be helpful.
I will explain in this order, so please read comfortably and take away any helpful information.

Causes of aging appearance
Dark circles? Fine wrinkles under the eyes?
What comes to mind first when you think of factors that create dark circles?
Many people probably think of fatigue, lack of sleep, and pigmentation.
Of course, these can indeed be critical factors in the development of dark circles.
However, skin aging can also be said to be one of the representative causes of dark circles.
The fundamental cause of skin aging lies in the ‘collagen’ located in the dermis.
Collagen plays a role in giving the skin elasticity by firmly connecting cells to one another.
Therefore, if collagen with this function is lost, the skin will inevitably begin to sag in various areas.
So what happens if this kind of skin aging appears under the eyes?
As time passes, the muscles and septum that support the area under the eyes naturally sag in the direction of gravity.
As a result, the orbital fat that supports the eyeball also descends, and the area under the eyes can protrude abnormally.
This can create a ‘tired-looking’ image that makes you look older than your age and gives a harsh impression overall due not only to dark shadows under the eyes but also to fine wrinkles under the eyes.
In such cases, ‘lower blepharoplasty’ can be applied.
However, dark circles caused by pigmentation, color changes, or blood vessels require additional procedures along with lower blepharoplasty.
If you consult with Ribbon Plastic Surgery, where a specialist at Sinsa Station Plastic Surgery Clinic is working, you may see improvement.

Lower blepharoplasty
It is performed like this.
Lower blepharoplasty is a representative midlife eye cosmetic surgery that can be applied to aging changes under the eyes.
This surgery involves making an incision very close to the lower lash line, then removing sagging skin or removing or repositioning fat, and closing the incision neatly.
It is a procedure that makes the area under the eyes look brighter and more lively, removes fine wrinkles, and creates a more youthful, well-rested appearance by making the eye area look firmer.
In simple terms, you can think of lower blepharoplasty as having an effect similar to lifting the midface.
If you are stressed by loss of elasticity under the eyes that does not improve no matter what you do, this surgery may be a good option.

Lower blepharoplasty
Will aegyo-sal disappear?
Many of the people who visit our clinic are concerned about whether aegyo-sal will disappear after lower blepharoplasty.
Aegyo-sal creates a youthful and cute impression when you are young.
However, as you age, aegyo-sal can also become a cause of sagging under the eyes, and the area just below it can look hollow, making you appear older.
For this reason, reducing aegyo-sal during surgery can help create a naturally youthful eye area.
Sometimes, patients strongly want to preserve their aegyo-sal. Even in such cases, if they undergo lower blepharoplasty at Ribbon Plastic Surgery, where a specialist at Sinsa Plastic Surgery Clinic works, it can be naturally preserved by choosing the appropriate surgical method after thorough consultation.
In particular, lower eyelid cosmetic surgery methods can vary depending on the symptoms.
※ Lower blepharoplasty procedure


The surgical method should be determined by fully considering the amount of fat each person has, the internal structure of the eye, skin thickness, degree of sagging, tear trough shape, and more.
Because satisfaction can vary greatly depending on the skill of the medical team due to the nature of the surgery, cost is important for lower blepharoplasty, but you should also carefully look into the plastic surgeon’s skill and experience before proceeding.
For satisfactory surgical results, I hope you will undergo the procedure through a specialist at Sinsa Plastic Surgery Clinic who has extensive experience in midlife eye cosmetic surgery.

All plastic surgeries/procedures can have differences in the expected outcome depending on a 1 mm difference in length or a 1-degree difference in angle.
Also, since all surgeries can cause side effects, I recommend that you consult thoroughly with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find the surgical method that is suitable for your eyes.
Therefore, our clinic follows the principle of providing sufficient 1:1 customized consultations with each patient.
Based on this, we help design a surgical plan suitable for the patient, and even if a patient visits having already planned a specific surgery, we discourage proceeding if we determine that the surgery is not appropriate.
I believe this is one of the reasons our clinic has been able to meet so many people in one location at Exit 1 of Sinsa Station since 2002.
To avoid disappointing those who trust Ribbon Plastic Surgery, we will continue to study and make every effort, so if you need help from a specialist at Sinsa Plastic Surgery Clinic, you are welcome to visit us anytime.
