Eye Bag Removal Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Do under-eye bags make you look tired, older, or stressed—no matter how well-rested you are? Eye bag removal surgery, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure that reduces puffiness and smooths the under-eye area, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, we specialize in advanced eye bag removal techniques tailored to your unique facial anatomy. Whether caused by genetics, aging, or fat accumulation, our skilled surgeons deliver natural-looking results that brighten your expression and boost your confidence.
Why Choose Eye Bag Removal Surgery?
Under-eye bags often result from fat herniation or weakened muscles and skin around the lower eyelid. This condition can make you appear fatigued or older than you feel. Eye bag surgery is an ideal solution for:
- Reducing puffy or swollen under-eye areas
- Smoothing fine lines and sagging skin
- Creating a more alert, refreshed appearance
- Reversing signs of aging or genetic predisposition
- Restoring a smooth transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
Whether you’re in your 30s or 60s, eye bag removal surgery can help you regain a more youthful and vibrant look.
Customized Techniques for Natural Results
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we carefully assess your under-eye structure, skin quality, and desired outcome to choose the most appropriate technique for your needs.
Eye Bag Removal Techniques:
- Transconjunctival Approach (Scarless):
Ideal for younger patients or those with minimal skin laxity. Fat is removed or repositioned through an incision inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. - Subciliary Approach (Skin Incision):
Best for patients with sagging skin and wrinkles. A fine incision is made just below the lash line to remove fat, tighten muscle, and trim excess skin for a smoother contour. - Fat Repositioning:
Instead of simply removing fat, it may be redistributed over the tear trough area to smooth hollow areas and reduce the shadowing effect. - Combination with Laser or Skin Tightening:
For enhanced results, some patients benefit from adjunct treatments such as fractional laser or RF skin tightening after surgery.
Our focus is always on preserving your natural features while achieving a cleaner, more youthful appearance.
Consultation and Planning
Your consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic includes a comprehensive assessment of your under-eye condition and goals.
We will:
- Evaluate fat protrusion, skin elasticity, and muscle tone
- Discuss your aesthetic concerns and expectations
- Determine the best surgical method for your anatomy
- Show before-and-after photos of similar cases
- Explain potential risks, benefits, and recovery process
We provide honest recommendations tailored to your age, skin type, and cosmetic goals.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Eye bag removal surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity.
Procedure Overview:
- Duration: 30 minutes to 1.5 hours
- Incision Placement: Inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) or below the lash line (subciliary)
- Fat Removal/Repositioning: Excess fat is removed or shifted to eliminate puffiness and contour the area
- Skin or Muscle Adjustment (if needed): Loose skin is trimmed and muscles tightened if laxity is present
- Closure: Sutures are applied, and a cooling mask may be used post-op to reduce swelling
You will be monitored for a short time after surgery before returning home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from lower blepharoplasty is generally quick and comfortable with proper care.
- Mild swelling, bruising, and tightness are common in the first 5–7 days
- Stitches (if external) are typically removed after 5–7 days
- Cold compresses and prescribed ointments help minimize discomfort
- Avoid eye strain, heavy exercise, and rubbing the eyes for 2 weeks
- Most patients return to work and normal activities within 7–10 days
- Final results become fully visible in 1–2 months as swelling resolves
Our clinic provides detailed aftercare instructions and follows up closely to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
