Lower Blepharoplasty
A woman in her 50s with moderate under-eye fat puffiness and mild skin laxity undergoes lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and skin excision for smoother, more youthful under-eyes.
* Basic Information
· Female in her 50s
· Under-eye fat: Moderate puffiness
· Skin condition: Mild skin laxity / Skin thickness and elasticity are adequate
· Chief concern: 'The under-eye fat makes me look tired and older.'
* Consultation
· This patient is a woman in her 50s whose main concerns are puffiness from under-eye fat and skin sagging.
· We will achieve smooth under-eyes through fat repositioning and excision of the sagging skin.
· Since her skin elasticity is relatively good, the risk of ectropion (lower eyelid eversion) should be low. That said, overly aggressive skin excision must absolutely be avoided.
· You seem quite worried about scarring. Because the incision is made just beneath the lower lash line, it will look like a natural crease — no need to worry too much!
* Plan
Lower Blepharoplasty
* Post-operative Progress

Consultations and procedures should be entrusted to a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is lower blepharoplasty mainly suitable for?
Lower blepharoplasty is mainly suitable for individuals who look tired or older due to bulging under-eye fat or sagging skin. It can be particularly effective for women in their 50s whose primary concerns are under-eye fat and skin laxity.
I'm worried about significant scarring after lower blepharoplasty.
No, you don't need to worry much about scarring. Because the incision is made along the lower eyelid, just below the eyelashes, the post-operative scar can look natural, like an original wrinkle.
How is lower blepharoplasty performed?
Lower blepharoplasty is performed by redistributing under-eye fat to resolve bulging and excising excess sagging skin. This creates a smooth and clean under-eye area.
What are the possible side effects after lower blepharoplasty?
After lower blepharoplasty, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur. There can be individual differences, so sufficient consultation and caution are necessary before surgery.
Is there a possibility of ectropion (eyelid turning outward) after surgery?
The possibility of ectropion is low in individuals with relatively good skin elasticity. However, excessive skin excision can cause ectropion and must be avoided.
