Hello, this is JW Garden Plastic Surgery, a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam.

Shall we watch it together?

Today’s video collected and answered questions that patients often ask!

First, many people wonder whether protruding under-eye fat is truly caused by aging or whether it is genetic.

It is said that more than 80% of the loosening and aging that occurs as we grow older is a genetic phenomenon.

The remaining 20% can be attributed to rapid weight changes, changes caused by swelling from surgery, and lifestyle habits.

And many people were curious about how lower blepharoplasty is performed!

In short, lower blepharoplasty is performed by making an incision below the eyebrows, repositioning or supporting the fat, pulling the midface tissue to narrow the orbital distance area, and using lifting to restore the under-eye shape to its original form.

Then, the size of the scar left after lower blepharoplasty is also something that cannot be left out of the discussion! Shall we look at the scar and swelling as well?

The size of the wound can vary widely depending on how the surgery is performed.

After the solution, when it comes to scarring, the key point is which area is incised and what appropriate level of tension is left behind.

If this is done well, you do not need to worry too much about the size of the wound, so this is definitely something to check before the solution.

On the other hand, swelling is unavoidable!

That is why Dr. Choi Hong-rim of JW Garden Plastic Surgery in Gangnam tries to minimize bleeding as much as possible during the procedure.

This is because when blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are well preserved, swelling can be minimized.

Many people were also confused about lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning.

I’ll explain it clearly today!

If the issue is simply protruding fat, or if the surrounding soft tissue has weakened and lost elasticity, it is important to identify the cause. If elasticity has been lost, it is correct to proceed with lower blepharoplasty.

Under-eye fat repositioning is a part of lower blepharoplasty and is a method that removes only the fat, so it is determined depending on the patient’s condition.

Another frequently asked question was whether dark circles can be improved through lower blepharoplasty.

Lower blepharoplasty can help remove shadows!

If there is a dark shadow under the orbital bone, the solution can flatten that area and remove the shadow to that extent. It does not remove pigmentation, so please keep this in mind.

Before visiting the hospital, you may wonder whether you need lower blepharoplasty.

Although it cannot be called an exact self-diagnosis method, when you pull the area with your hand, the bulging fat may largely disappear, or the deformity may improve significantly.

For such people, the deformity occurs because elasticity is weak, so we can say they are suitable for lower blepharoplasty.

The simpler the process of lower blepharoplasty may seem, the more complex the results can be.

That is why only by putting in great care, thinking through many things, and proceeding with the solution can good results be achieved.

Therefore, if you are considering lower blepharoplasty, we recommend consulting with a board-certified specialist who has extensive experience with lower blepharoplasty.
