Smooth Eye Bags, Refine Shadows—Natural, Not Hollow

Lower blepharoplasty reduces under-eye bags, blends the tear trough, and smooths crepey skin for a brighter, rested look. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon tailors technique to your anatomy—removing or repositioning fat and tightening skin without a hollowed finish.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Persistent eye bags or puffiness that makeup can’t hide
• Tear-trough shadow or lid–cheek demarcation
• Mild to moderate skin laxity/crepiness
• Healthy eyes and realistic expectations

Concerns We Address

• Prominent fat pads → debulking or fat repositioning
• Dark “groove” appearance → fat redraping + ligament release
• Crepey/wrinkled skin → skin pinch or laser/RF polishing
• Asymmetry → zonal, eye-by-eye planning

Surgical Techniques (Customized)

• Transconjunctival approach (scarless): fat reposition/removal via inside of lid (best for minimal skin excess)
• Subciliary approach (lash-line): addresses skin laxity ± orbicularis support
• Fat repositioning over orbital rim for smooth lid-cheek transition
• Optional skin pinch, canthopexy (support), or laser finish

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Time: ~60–120 minutes
• Incisions: inside the eyelid or just below lashes (fine line)
• Discharge: same day with cold-compress plan and eye lubrication

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruise: 5–10 days (concealer typically after day 3–4 if cleared)
• Suture removal (if subciliary): 5–7 days
• Return to light activity: ~1 week
• Final refinement: 6–12 weeks (continued softening thereafter)

Results You Can Expect

• Flatter under-eye contour and reduced bags
• Softer tear-trough shadow and smoother skin
• Brighter, rested appearance without looking “done”

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours, sleep elevated 1 week
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment as needed
• Avoid heavy exercise, sauna, contact lenses 2 weeks
• SPF 50+ and gentle scar care after suture removal (if applicable)

Combination Options

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

Safety & Suitability

• Screening for dry eye and lid support; canthopexy when indicated
• Fitzpatrick-aware scar/laser planning to minimize PIH
• Performed by a board-certified facial surgeon with ocular-surface protection

FAQs

Will I have a visible scar?
Often no external scar with the transconjunctival method; subciliary scars hide along the lash line and fade well.

Can surgery fix dark circles?
If shadows are structural, yes. Pigment/vascular darkening may also need laser/skin care.

How long do results last?
Many enjoy years of improvement; aging continues but bags rarely return to baseline.
