Lower Blepharoplasty That Helps Create a Youthful Face... Why Is It as Effective as a Lifting Procedure?

Youthfulness means looking younger than your age. The desire and aspiration for a youthful appearance have remained steady.

This is why many people continue to use various cosmetics with anti-aging effects that are said to help create a youthful face,

or visit dermatology clinics for various lifting procedures such as Ulthera and Thermage FLX.

While consistent care and youthful-appearance procedures can be effective in their own way,

for people who do not see clear results from such care or procedures,

it may be wise to turn to facial rejuvenation plastic surgery, which exists to address the root cause.

Today, together with Dr. Kim Jong-myeong of Diva Plastic Surgery,

we will take a look at lower blepharoplasty, which is effective in helping restore a youthful face.

​In particular, a prominent sign of aging often appears in the lower eyelid area beneath the eyes, where the skin is especially thin and delicate.

When aging begins in the under-eye area,

it reduces the skin’s elasticity there.

This can cause under-eye wrinkles,

or loosen the fat layer surrounding the under-eye area,

which may make the under-eye fat protrude. In addition, because of the fat formed under the eyes,

a dark shadow may appear beneath the eyes, creating dark circles. This often adds not only an aged, tired-looking impression,

but also a fatigued appearance.

Do changes under the eyes become a measure of aging?

Wrinkles under the eyes, under-eye fat, and dark circles, which mainly occur in the lower eyelid area, can have a major impact on one’s appearance. For these concerns,

the recommended rejuvenating plastic surgery method for improving wrinkles is "lower blepharoplasty."

Lower blepharoplasty removes and repositions bulging under-eye fat,

and lifts and secures sagging skin and muscle to help create a more youthful eye area. Cases that may be suitable for trying a youthful transformation through lower blepharoplasty include the following:

People who usually have severe under-eye wrinkles and are looking for ways to reduce them

People whose under-eye area looks shadowed due to bulging under-eye fat

People who want to reduce dark circles because severe dark circles make them look tired

People who look older because the skin under the eyes has sagged significantly

People whose aegyo-sal under the eyes has been lost due to aging

People who are concerned about various signs of aging in the under-eye area

We will take a look at how lower blepharoplasty is performed,

which not only fundamentally addresses problems in the under-eye area but also has the effect of lifting sagging skin beneath the eyes.

Precautions for lower blepharoplasty

First of all, it is necessary to determine and design the amount of skin to be removed,

taking into account the degree of sagging under-eye skin and the shape of the under-eye fat.

After that, an incision is made on the inside of the eyelid, and the sagging skin and protruding fat are removed. The loosened muscle is then pulled up and fixed to the conjunctiva, followed by delicate suturing.

In this process, the surgery must be performed while considering both under-eye fat and wrinkled skin,

as well as the loosened ligaments beneath the eyes, in order to help prevent complications of eye surgery such as eyelid flipping. That is why it is important to find a plastic surgeon with extensive experience and skill.

Lower blepharoplasty applies a method that lifts sagging under-eye areas caused by aging,

so it can transform wrinkled under-eye skin into a firmer appearance.

As the under-eye fat that made the area look shadowed disappears,

dark circles are reduced, allowing the effect of under-eye dark-circle surgery as well.

This can also make it possible to transform the eye area into a brighter, more refreshed look.

In addition, the effect of creating aegyo-sal under the eyes can make it easier to achieve a more youthful appearance.

Then, what procedures can produce an even more positive synergistic effect when performed together with lower blepharoplasty?

For people who usually worry about protruding under-eye fat and sagging under-eye wrinkles,

it can also be effective to perform lower blepharoplasty together with under-eye fat removal.

For people with uneven under-eye fat, lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning can help resolve both under-eye fat and sagging beneath the eyes.

For people with severe sagging of the skin and muscles under the eyes, if lower blepharoplasty is used to remove the sagging skin and under-eye fat removal is performed,

and if external canthopexy is also done to firmly fix the muscle or lateral canthal tendon to the periosteum on the outer side of the eye,

it is possible to complete a firmer under-eye area.

In this way, it may be helpful to remember that lower blepharoplasty can deliver even greater synergistic effects when performed together with various youthful-appearance procedures.
