Is There a Proper Time for Lower Eyelid Surgery for Under-Eye Rejuvenation? image 1

As we age, the orbital septum that surrounds the fat in the eyelids weakens, causing the fat within it to bulge under the eyes and sag, which can be stressful.

This creates an appearance that looks older than your actual age, so improvement is needed. The procedure that is effective at this time is lower blepharoplasty.

Is there a right time for lower eyelid surgery too?

The time when people start considering lower eyelid surgery is when signs of aging become more noticeable. Aging appears in various areas through different symptoms, such as wrinkles in the skin and reduced elasticity, but the eye area in particular is thinner than other areas and is used often for facial expressions, so changes tend to show more clearly.

This can also lead to more pronounced dark circles or prominent wrinkles.

Therefore, people try to improve the lower eyelid area, which is the under-eye region with bulging fat pockets.

How much can lower eyelid sagging be improved?

Lower eyelid surgery refers to procedures on the area below the eyeball. It is suitable when the skin under the eyes sags, fat bulges outward, and the under-eye hollow is deeply formed.

The procedure is performed by removing and repositioning the bulging fat pockets to flatten the under-eye area.

By preserving the septum and clearly releasing the under-eye hollow with septum-strengthening repositioning, it is possible to achieve a younger-looking face through the presence of under-eye fullness and to restore a more lively impression by improving sagging around the eyes.

What should be noted about lower blepharoplasty?

Since this is surgery performed on the thin and sensitive eye area, careful attention is also needed.

If the fat has significantly sunken in, it is important to improve the condition by making the uneven area flatter through micro fat grafting.

If the amount of under-eye fat is not abnormal, but the condition is a skin-translucent type in which the reddish muscle tone or the color of blood vessels shows through, micro fat grafting should be performed over the thinned skin to make it thicker.

In this way, plastic surgery around the eyes must be delicately corrected according to each person's condition, down to the distribution of skin and fat and even the subtle movements of the eye muscles.

Therefore, it is safest to undergo surgery after 충분히 상담을 받은 후 with a plastic surgery specialist who has abundant medical knowledge as well as know-how.
