Eye Bag Removal Surgery (lower blepharoplasty) reduces bulging fat and blends the tear trough for a rested, youthful look. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon tailors fat repositioning vs. removal and skin support to avoid a hollowed or “done” appearance.

Who’s a Good Candidate

  • Persistent under-eye puffiness or bags
  • Tear-trough shadow or sharp lid–cheek groove
  • Mild–moderate skin laxity/crepiness
  • Healthy eyes and realistic expectations

Surgical Techniques (Customized)

  • Transconjunctival (inside the eyelid): scarless access for fat reposition/removal when skin excess is minimal
  • Subciliary (lash-line): addresses skin laxity ± orbicularis support; fine line hidden under lashes
  • Reposicionamiento de grasa: cubre el borde orbital con grasa para suavizar el surco.
  • Add-ons as needed: skin pinch, canthopexy (outer-corner support), laser polish later for texture

What to Expect on Surgery Day

  • Anesthesia: local + sedation or general (case-by-case)
  • Time: ~60–120 minutes
  • Incisions: inside eyelid or at lash line (concealed)
  • Plan de regreso a casa el mismo día con compresas frías y lubricación.

Recovery Timeline

  • Swelling/bruising: 5–10 days (social downtime)
  • Suture removal (if subciliary): 5–7 days
  • Light activity: ~1 week; exercise 3–4 weeks (guided)
  • Contour refinement: 6–12 weeks, with continued softening thereafter

Results You Can Expect

  • Contorno de ojos más plano y bolsas reducidas
  • Sombra más suave/transición hacia la mejilla.
  • Un aspecto fresco y descansado que se mantiene natural.

Aftercare

  • Compresa fría las primeras 48 horas; aumento del sueño durante 1 semana
  • Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment
  • Avoid makeup on the lower lid, contact lenses, sauna ~2 weeks
  • SPF 50+ and gentle scar care after suture removal (if applicable)

Combination Plans

  • Upper blepharoplasty/ptosis repair for full-eye harmony
  • Skin boosters (HA/PN/Exosomes) after healing for fine-line polish
  • Laser toning / RF microneedling (timed post-op) for texture and pores
  • Cheek micro-filler or fat graft only if extra blending is needed later

FAQs

Will I have a visible scar?
