[Diva Plastic Surgery][Understanding Plastic Surgery Procedures Properly] Aging Around the Eyes... Improving Lower Eyelid Surgery and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery.

As the skin loses elasticity due to aging,

and wrinkles begin to appear one by one, many people are concerned

that the appearance of their eyes is changing.

In particular, aging under the eyes is one of the areas where

aging is revealed first around the eyes, so dark under-eye circles, fat, and wrinkles

can make a person look older

and create a dull-looking impression.

Knowing these concerns, today Diva Plastic Surgery explained

effective ways to erase aging under the eyes,

including lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat repositioning.

Please check the report below.

It is natural for the skin to lose elasticity and for wrinkles to appear one by one due to aging.

Horizontal wrinkles become slanted and sagging, and skin that used to be firm becomes loose; this is something everyone experiences at a certain age.

The area where these signs appear first and most clearly is under the eyes. This is because the skin layer is thin and the area moves a lot since facial expressions are used frequently, making wrinkles more likely to form.

Dr. Kim Jong-myeong, Director of Diva Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, a full member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, explained, "When fat accumulates along with sagging skin, the eye area can look more hollow and tired, and the overall impression may seem dull, so thorough care in daily life is important." He added, "However, if improvement is difficult with daily care alone, it is necessary to improve it through an appropriate method."

◆ Lower eyelid plastic surgery... improves both skin and muscle sagging

For aging under the eyes, one can consider wrinkle correction under the eyes and fat removal, and among these, 'lower eyelid plastic surgery' is one of the representative methods that improves both skin and muscle sagging.

In the case of lower eyelid surgery, because wrinkles under the eyes and muscle laxity are improved at the same time, it is a middle-aged eye surgery method that can be considered not only for those who look older than their age at a young age, but also for middle-aged and older adults whose signs of aging are directly visible under the eyes.

Another major advantage is that a minimal incision is made in the inner fascia beneath the eyes, so no visible scar remains after recovery.

Director Kim Jong-myeong said, "After making a long incision along the lower lash line toward the outer corner of the eye, the sagging skin and protruding fat are appropriately removed by considering the condition of the loose skin and the shape and amount of fat. By pulling up the stretched and weakened muscle and firmly fixing it to the fascia before suturing, the eye area can be reborn with a brighter and more youthful appearance."

◆ Under-eye fat repositioning... improves a flatter under-eye area

If excessive under-eye fat is a concern, under-eye fat repositioning may help. As aging progresses, the fat tissue under the eyes becomes thinner, and as the eyelids gradually sag downward, the fat layer bulges forward.

This can create an angry or tired appearance, and if dark circles form and the area becomes shadowed, it can look dark, so correction is needed.

If the skin sagging is not severe, after an incision inside the eyelid, the protruding fat pouch is found and repositioned to the hollow area. If it is severely sagging, the conjunctiva inside the eye is opened and the fat is removed to improve the under-eye area to look flatter.

Director Kim Jong-myeong said, "The skin under the eyes is a very thin and sensitive area, and because the rate of aging and the degree of skin sagging differ depending on age and skin type, surgery should be performed using an appropriate method based on a more thorough analysis." He added, "Carefully assessing the amount of fat, skin wrinkles, and the degree of sagging and proceeding with a 1:1 customized surgery is one way to increase treatment effectiveness and satisfaction."
