Lower Blepharoplasty (Fat Repositioning)
firm under-eyes?
A surgery that removes under-eye fat that has bulged due to aging and other causes, giving the under-eye area a young, lively look
Lower Blepharoplasty (Fat Repositioning)
Lower blepharoplasty is recommended when you want to improve a tired look caused by sagging skin, wrinkles, and protruding fat under the eyes. It mainly removes under-eye skin that has loosened with aging, along with unnecessary fat, creating livelier, smoother eyes. The surgery reduces dark circles and helps create a fresher, younger look overall.
Because the skin around the eyes is thin and sensitive, lower blepharoplasty requires a meticulous technique. Removing too much fat or over-tightening the skin can make the under-eye area look hollow or give you an unnatural look, so a consultation with a skilled surgeon is very important.

Lower Blepharoplasty Q&A
-
Can lower blepharoplasty also improve dark circles?Because lower blepharoplasty removes sagging skin and unnecessary fat and repositions the muscle, it can be expected to ease dark circles caused by shadowing. However, if the dark circles are caused by pigmentation or visible blood vessels, lower blepharoplasty alone is unlikely to resolve them completely. In such cases, combining it with laser treatment, brightening procedures, or vascular treatment can give better results.
-
Can lower blepharoplasty make my eyes look round or unnatural?If the skin is pulled too much after lower blepharoplasty, the eyes may look rounder or droop downward, changing the way you look. To prevent this, a customized design that takes your skin elasticity and muscle condition into account is important. By repositioning the fat rather than removing too much skin, you can achieve natural, younger-looking results.
-
How long can the results of lower blepharoplasty last?The results of lower blepharoplasty can generally last 10 years or more, though the skin may sag again with aging. Once you have had the surgery, you can maintain a noticeably younger look for a long time. Consistent sun protection, moisturizing, and eye-area exercises after surgery can help the results last even longer.
