Lower Blepharoplasty
A woman in her 50s with under-eye fat puffiness and mild skin sagging undergoes lower blepharoplasty via fat repositioning and skin excision for a smooth, youthful result.
* Basic Information
· Female in her 50s
· Under-eye fat: moderate puffiness
· Skin condition: slight sagging / skin thickness and elasticity are adequate
· Main concern: 'The fat under my eyes makes me look tired and older.'
* Consultation
· She is a woman in her 50s whose primary concerns are puffiness from under-eye fat and sagging skin.
· We will address this through fat repositioning and excision of the excess skin to achieve smooth, clean under-eyes.
· Her skin elasticity is relatively good, so the risk of ectropion (lower eyelid eversion) is low. That said, overly aggressive skin excision must always be avoided!
· She had significant concerns about scarring. Because the incision follows the lash line of the lower eyelid, it blends in as a natural-looking crease — please don't worry too much ~

Lower Blepharoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
· Fat repositioning has resolved the puffiness, and the under-eyes now look smooth and clean.
· You were very worried about scarring — but it is barely visible, right? It will continue to fade over time, so no need to worry :)
Consultations and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
Wishing you health and beauty today :)

Complications and side effects following surgery — including bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry — may vary from person to person and require careful attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is lower blepharoplasty necessary?
Lower blepharoplasty can be considered when under-eye fat bulges or sagging skin makes you look tired or older. It is particularly effective when the main concerns are under-eye fat and skin laxity, such as in women in their 50s.
I'm worried about significant scarring after lower blepharoplasty.
You don't need to worry too much about scarring. Since the incision is made along the lower eyelid, just below the eyelashes, it will eventually look like a natural wrinkle over time and gradually fade, becoming less visible.
How is lower blepharoplasty performed?
Lower blepharoplasty is primarily performed through under-eye fat repositioning and excision of sagging skin. This resolves bulging under-eyes and creates a smooth and clear under-eye area.
What are the possible side effects after lower blepharoplasty?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. Individual differences may exist, so caution is required, and thorough consultation with a specialist is necessary.
Is the possibility of ectropion lower if skin elasticity is good?
Yes, if your skin elasticity is relatively good, the possibility of ectropion (lower eyelid turning outward) can be considered lower. However, excessive skin excision must be absolutely avoided.
