What is Lower Blepharoplasty at RINE Plastic Surgery?
Transform sagging and puffy under-eyes into a youthful eye appearance.
This procedure removes sagging skin tissue caused by aging and addresses deep tear troughs and protruding fat to create a firmer, more elastic under-eye area.
In addition, lifting of the muscle and fat surrounding the eye is performed to help restore the ‘aegyo-sal’, completing a brighter and more youthful-looking appearance.

Who is a good candidate for lower blepharoplasty?

How is lower blepharoplasty different from under-eye fat repositioning?
Lower blepharoplasty is described as more suitable for people in their 40s to 60s with reduced skin elasticity. It uses an external incision under the eyes, allows wider correction for skin laxity and sagging, and includes removal of excess skin. Under-eye fat repositioning is described as more suitable for people in their 20s to 30s with good skin elasticity, uses an internal incision through the conjunctiva, focuses more on fat repositioning, and does not remove skin.
Will lower blepharoplasty leave noticeable scars?
The incision is made just beneath the eyelashes, where the skin is very thin, so noticeable scarring is considered less likely. The procedure also uses delicate incision techniques and fine suturing to help minimize scarring to a near-invisible level.
How is the procedure performed?
The process includes a customized design based on the under-eye fat, muscle, and skin; a delicate incision just below the eyelashes; removal and repositioning of some protruding fat; fixation of the orbicularis oculi muscle to the side of the eye; and removal of sagging skin with fine suturing.
What results can I expect after lower blepharoplasty?
You can expect smoother correction of puffy under-eyes, improvement in wrinkles and sagging, a brighter and more youthful appearance, reduced dark circles, minimal scarring, and a softer, clearer overall impression.
Are there any risks or side effects I should know about?
Yes. Bleeding and infection may occur, and results may vary from person to person.
