LOWER BLEPHAROPLASTY
1. Lower Blepharoplasty
Considering puffy under-eyes and deep tear troughs together
for a more comfortable, natural look
It is not only the fat under the eyes that bulges; the skin and muscle stretch and the tear trough deepens, which can make you look tired and older.
Lower blepharoplasty examines the condition of the skin, muscle, fat and orbital septum under the eyes together, trims unnecessary sagging, and makes the boundary between the eyelid and the cheek smoother.
Suitable For
-
People with puffy, protruding under-eye fat
-
People whose deep tear troughs cast a shadow
-
People with loose under-eye skin and fine wrinkles
-
People with a distinct boundary between the under-eye area and the front of the cheekbone
-
People who want to improve a tired or older-looking appearance
2. Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Rather than removing the puffy fat,
spreading it evenly where it is needed
Under-eye fat repositioning does not simply remove protruding fat; it moves the fat into hollow areas such as the tear trough and spreads it evenly.
By easing both the bulge under the eyes and the hollow below it, it smooths the line running from the under-eye area to the front of the cheekbone.
3. Septal Reset
Not just the fat,
but the loosened orbital septum too
The orbital septum is a thin membrane that surrounds and supports the under-eye fat. When it loosens with aging, the fat is pushed forward and the under-eye area can bulge.
In addition to repositioning the protruding fat, septal reset moves the orbital septum and fat layer down to below the tear trough and secures them there.
It can be applied selectively when the under-eye fat protrudes clearly, the tear trough is deep, and the boundary between the eyelid and the front of the cheekbone is prominent.
Which method do I need?
The three methods are not completely separate surgeries. While performing lower blepharoplasty, fat repositioning or septal reset can be applied together depending on the patient's under-eye structure.
Lower Blepharoplasty at TOV Plastic Surgery
Removing only the under-eye fat can make hollows stand out or leave a tired look.
TOV Plastic Surgery decides the surgical method by examining not only the amount of protruding fat but also skin and muscle sagging, the condition of the orbital septum, and the volume of the tear trough and front cheekbone.
Rather than removing too much unnecessarily, we preserve and reposition the tissue that is needed, aiming for a comfortable look that flows naturally from under the eyes to the cheeks.
※ The appropriate surgical method and extent may vary depending on eyelid elasticity, the amount of fat, the depth of the tear trough and the degree of eye protrusion.
