Lower Eyelid Surgery: How Does the Procedure Change by Age? What’s Different?

Lower Eyelid Surgery: How Does the Procedure Change by Age? ✨

What’s Different?

The area under the eyes is a concern for many people, regardless of age.

If the under-eye area looks dark or bulges outward, it can make you look older than you really are or give a tired impression.

More and more people are choosing lower eyelid surgery for a brighter, more defined look and a more youthful face.

Under-eye concerns vary from person to person, and the changes that appear with age also differ, so a customized lower eyelid procedure suited to each individual is necessary.

Let’s look at what kinds of under-eye concerns appear by age group and which surgical methods are appropriate for each.😊

Under-eye concerns can differ depending on age group.

People in their 20s to 30s usually still have skin elasticity, but due to congenital factors, under-eye fat may protrude, or shadows may form under the eyes due to stress, accumulated fatigue, or the habit of rubbing the eyes.

Even if the skin itself is not sagging, under-eye dark circles can appear more pronounced because of an imbalance in the under-eye fat.

On the other hand, in middle-aged adults over 40, as time passes, the skin becomes thinner and starts to lose elasticity.

As a result, the orbital septum that supports the under-eye fat becomes loose, fat protrudes, and sagging skin and wrinkles often appear together.

Because the condition of the under-eye area differs by person and by age, accurate analysis and a customized approach are important.

Thank You Junior lower eyelid surgery focuses on correcting fat imbalance.

Excess fat is removed, and fat distributed unevenly is properly repositioned during the procedure.

Dark circles caused by protruding under-eye fat are improved into a natural and brighter under-eye area through proper fat repositioning and removal.

Thank You Senior lower eyelid surgery is a combination procedure that simultaneously improves fat protrusion, under-eye wrinkles, and sagging skin caused by aging.

As people age, under-eye fat often becomes puffy and skin elasticity decreases, which can deepen wrinkles.

While removing or repositioning the protruding fat, the loosened skin is also excised to create an elastic and smooth under-eye line.

Both Junior and Senior procedures share the common goal of addressing under-eye fat problems, but there are clear differences!

Unlike the Junior lower eyelid surgery, which makes an incision inside the conjunctiva, Senior lower eyelid surgery makes a fine incision along the lash line to correct sagging skin and wrinkles as well.

The main difference is that it not only repositions the fat but also makes an incision and removes sagging skin.

In conclusion, if dark circles are severe due to protruding under-eye fat, Thank You Junior lower eyelid surgery is recommended.

If there are also concerns about sagging skin and wrinkles, Thank You Senior lower eyelid surgery is recommended.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery, the under-eye condition is precisely diagnosed by age and by individual case, and customized solutions are provided.

During surgery, the loosened orbital septum is firmly secured to minimize recurrence, and depending on the patient’s needs, a technique that preserves the aegyo-sal line is applied.

In addition, to produce stable results for patients, the procedure is performed using customized tools such as special needles for under-eye fat repositioning and absorbable sutures, depending on each case.

All surgeries are performed directly by a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience, delivering a natural and smooth under-eye area.

At Thank You Plastic Surgery, the necessary procedure is designed and applied according to age, providing results that patients can be satisfied with.

For people in their 20s and 30s, under-eye fat is evenly redistributed to improve the shadow under the eyes, that is, dark circles, making the overall face look brighter and more vibrant.

For middle-aged adults over 40, after correcting sagging skin and fat, an elastic and smooth under-eye line is completed to create a more youthful appearance.

Lower eyelid surgery is performed by comprehensively considering different factors such as skin condition, fat position, and skin elasticity.

Therefore, it is important to have a thorough consultation before surgery and choose an experienced medical team.

We recommend receiving surgery at a clinic that communicates sufficiently with patients and provides customized procedures based on the condition of the under-eye area. 😊
