Lower Blepharoplasty

Bothered by dark circles, under-eye bags, and sagging skin?

A tired look

Dark circles that make you look dull

Puffy under-eyes

Bulging under-eye bags and sagging skin

Loose skin

Sagging under-eye skin that leads to fine lines

Looking older

Wrinkles and hollows that make you look older

“Under-eye fat and skin only sag more over time”

Under-eye shadows that even makeup can't hide drain the life from your face. Lower blepharoplasty lifts sagging muscle and repositions fat to create smooth, bright under-eyes

How do your under-eyes look right now?

20s

Defined eyes and full, smooth under-eyes

30s

Upper lids begin to droop, and bulging under-eye fat creates tear troughs

40s

Noticeably deeper under-eye shadows and sagging fat

50s

Irritated, raw skin around the eyes, puffier under-eyes, and deeper wrinkles

Lower blepharoplasty

• This surgery is for when, with age, the membrane holding the under-eye fat weakens and bulges, and loss of skin elasticity makes sagging and wrinkles stand out. A fine incision is made just below the lower lashes, the fat is repositioned, and loose skin and muscle are tightened for natural, firm under-eyes.

Who needs lower blepharoplasty

• Those with bulging under-eye fat and significant sagging skin and wrinkles
• Those who look tired because of dark circles and deep tear troughs
• Middle-aged patients whose sagging skin can't be resolved by under-eye fat repositioning alone
• Those who look older because of loose under-eye skin

How lower blepharoplasty is performed

01. Precise one-on-one design

A custom design based on the amount of under-eye wrinkling, the degree of sagging, and the amount of fat

02. Delicate incision

A precise incision made just below the lash line

03. Under-eye fat repositioning

Bulging fat is moved into the sunken tear trough to smooth out the area

04. Fixation and suturing

Loose excess skin is removed, and the muscle is anchored to the periosteum before the incision is closed

05. Result

Bright, refreshed eyes

Key points of our lower blepharoplasty

No worries about ectropion

Worried your lower eyelid might turn outward after surgery (ectropion)? We don't simply remove skin. We also perform lateral canthal fixation, firmly anchoring the weakened muscle around the eye (orbicularis oculi) to the periosteum. This keeps the eyelid from turning outward and holds the lifting effect steady.

Preserving aegyo-sal, the key to a youthful look

Under-eyes that are flattened too much can make your expression look harsh. We preserve as much of the natural aegyo-sal muscle (the soft roll just below the lower lashes) as possible, smoothing out wrinkles while keeping the natural fullness when you smile and a gentle look to your eyes.

Septum reinforcement and repositioning to prevent recurrence

If fat is only removed, the area can look hollow over time. We reposition bulging fat into the sunken tear trough and strengthen the loosened orbital septum, lowering the chance that the bags will return.

Incision technique that reduces scarring

A fine incision made right along the lash line keeps the scar hard to notice even right after surgery. Once you've healed, it hides naturally in the shadow of your lashes.

Our promise at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery: eyes you'll love to see in the mirror

The smallest difference in the eyes can change your whole impression. How strongly you open your eyes, their width, their angle, and other factors can all make eyes look unnatural. That's why eyes need to be clear and defined, yet natural.

At DOY JUN Plastic Surgery, we analyze your eyes and face from every angle to create the eyes that suit your face best

Analysis of eye size, upper-to-lower proportions, eye shape, and how much of the iris shows

Inner and outer corners

Analysis of the epicanthal fold, eye angle, outer corners, and space around the eyes

Facial space and eye spacing

Analysis of open space on the face and the distance between the eyes

Skin and muscle

Analysis of skin elasticity, muscle, fat, and more
