"My under-eye area has become puffy, so I looked into how to improve it, and I found out there is a surgery called lower blepharoplasty. I also heard that having surgery makes the aegyo-sal disappear, but is that really true...?"
"I still don't understand the difference between lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning."
Hello, this is Ribbon Plastic Surgery near Sinnsa Station.

As time gradually passes and we reach middle age, changes in the body become more noticeable, and concerns arise.
In particular, as life expectancy increases, many people want to look as young as possible for as long as they can.
Despite that wish, many people experience psychological pressure and a reduced sense of self-esteem as the skin sags and wrinkles become more pronounced.
If you are reading this post, you are probably especially concerned because the area under your eyes has become saggy and protruding.
In such cases, lower blepharoplasty is said to be suitable, but even after searching for information, you may still feel frustrated because it has not been clearly organized.

At our clinic, we provide detailed guidance about the surgery and conduct consultations with patients.
In particular, lower blepharoplasty is a procedure that deals with skin tissue at different stages of aging, so an individualized treatment plan is extremely important.
If you are bothered by prominent under-eye bulging, dark circles, under-eye wrinkles, or reduced elasticity under the eyes, the following content may be very helpful.

What kind of surgery is lower blepharoplasty?
As skin aging progresses, under-eye fat may protrude or, conversely, become severely sunken, causing various changes.
Protruding fat can make you look stubborn or older than your actual age, and when the area becomes deeply sunken, it can worsen dark circles and create a tired or unwell appearance.
Lower blepharoplasty is a procedure that can be applied in these cases.
It refers to surgery that removes or repositions under-eye fat to create a smoother surface, then improves wrinkles and elasticity to make the eye area look healthier.

Some people also ask about the difference from under-eye fat repositioning.
Under-eye fat repositioning refers to a procedure in which the delicate skin exposed when the lower eyelid is turned inside out, that is, the "conjunctiva," is incised to remove or redistribute the uneven fat under the eyes.
By contrast, lower blepharoplasty involves incising the outer skin of the eye area, which has the advantage of correcting not only fat repositioning but also elasticity and wrinkles.
For that reason, under-eye fat repositioning is generally recommended for patients in their 30s and older, when under-eye hollowness begins to appear, while lower blepharoplasty is recommended for middle-aged patients with noticeable skin aging.
※When there is little to no sagging skin and only fat bulging

※When under-eye fat is bulging and the skin is sagging or wrinkled

What happens to aegyo-sal after lower blepharoplasty?
This is a concern shared by many patients.
They worry that after undergoing lower blepharoplasty to look younger, the under-eye area may become too flat and look unnatural.
aegyo-sal has the effect of making the face look younger and cuter.
However, as aging progresses, this aegyo-sal can sag downward and instead cause the under-eye area to look puffier.
For this reason, correcting this area during surgery helps create a more youthful-looking eye area.
Of course, in some cases, having enough aegyo-sal may create a more ideal appearance than having less.
In such cases, we recommend determining how much aegyo-sal to preserve through sufficient consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon and proceeding with a customized surgery plan.

Each person has different conditions, such as the amount of fat, the structure of the inner eye area, skin thickness, the degree of sagging, and the shape of the tear trough, so these should be carefully diagnosed before deciding on the surgical method.
In addition, even if the same surgical method is applied, the outcome can differ depending on the surgeon's experience, and this is not something to overlook.
Unlike general eye surgery, eye surgery for middle age targets sagging skin, so if it is performed too aggressively, it can instead lead to unnatural results.
Therefore, we hope you proceed safely through a clinic that carefully considers various conditions and recommends a surgery appropriate for each individual.
