Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: A Custom Procedure That Fits Me Is Important

Today, I’d like to talk about upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, and under-eye fat repositioning.

Aging not only lowers the function of various organs in the body, but also reduces skin elasticity, causing sagging skin.

In particular, sagging and wrinkled skin is a clear outward sign of aging and can cause appearance-related stress. Sagging skin around the eyes can also interfere with vision as the eyelids droop and may cause discomfort such as eyelashes rubbing against the eye. In addition, stretched skin can lead to skin maceration in the folded area around the eyes.

At the same time, sunken eyes or dark circles can create a dark, tired impression and make a person look older than their age.

As a result, more middle-aged and older adults are choosing upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, and under-eye fat repositioning to improve aging around the eyes.

To improve the signs of aging around the eyes and correct them into a firmer, younger-looking eye shape, procedures such as upper and lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat repositioning must take each person’s eye shape and function into account, correcting both aesthetic and functional aspects. For this, it is important to create a customized surgical plan by comprehensively considering the degree of sagging skin around the eyes, wrinkles, and changes in the eye shape.

In fact, knowing this when choosing a procedure can be helpful not only for treatment results but also for satisfaction.

◆Upper eyelid surgery: suitable for sagging eyelids, eyelashes poking the eye, and similar cases

Upper eyelid surgery is a procedure that improves the overall signs of aging in the upper eyelids. It is suitable when sagging eyelids have narrowed the field of vision, when eyelashes poke the eye, when the ability to open the eyes is weak and forehead wrinkles or expression lines have formed, or when the double-eyelid line has become blurred.

In such cases, the procedure does not simply remove the sagging eyelid skin. Depending on the degree and area of sagging, it removes sagging skin, fat, muscle, and subcutaneous tissue.

◆Upper eyelid blepharoplasty: addressing the fundamental cause of drooping eyelids, and more

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty involves making an incision along the double-eyelid line, removing sagging skin and protruding fat, and suturing the levator muscle to the skin.

Along with removing sagging skin on the outside of the eyelid, it has the advantage of addressing the fundamental cause of eyelid drooping by tightening the levator muscle, which opens the eyes.

◆Lower eyelid blepharoplasty: can improve even severe under-eye sagging that is difficult to correct, when combined with lateral canthopexy

The under-eye area shows signs of aging earlier than the upper eyelids. Reduced elasticity causes the lower eyelids to sag, and sunken under-eye areas to form wrinkles and deep grooves. Also, if too much under-eye fat accumulates, sagging becomes more severe and can create pronounced dark circles under the eyes.

Lower eyelid surgery is a procedure that improves the overall signs of aging under the eyes. Depending on the aging symptoms, it may be used for under-eye sagging correction, dark-circle correction, or wrinkle removal under the eyes.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty removes sagging skin through an incision below the eye, removes protruding fat, and repositions the under-eye area to create appropriate volume. It then tightens the stretched muscle and fixes it to the fascia. In addition, with a minimal incision in the inner fascia under the eye, scars are not visible on the outside, and the skin and muscle can be pulled upward at the same time to lift and tighten the under-eye area.

At this time, if lateral canthopexy is performed together to fix the sagging skin and muscle to the periosteum at the outer corner of the eye, it can improve severe under-eye sagging that is difficult to correct with lower eyelid surgery alone or may lead to ectropion.

◆Under-eye fat repositioning: improving dark circles, and more

If the degree of sagging of the under-eye fat is not severe, and the fat is either excessively accumulated or noticeably lacking, under-eye fat repositioning can be applied. Through a minimal incision in the inner fascia of the eyelid, the fat is properly repositioned to create volume under the eyes.

This can improve dark circles and create a bright, youthful-looking eye area by forming aegyo-sal.

Because an accurate diagnosis of the eye area structure and skin condition must come first, the expertise of an experienced specialist with in-depth knowledge of eye-related plastic surgery is needed. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, carefully review before-and-after accounts of upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or under-eye fat repositioning, and rather than choosing a low price, it is one way to improve both treatment results and satisfaction to choose a clinic where a specialist with extensive clinical experience is available.
