Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses sagging skin, wrinkles and bulging fat under the eyes together, so it matters whether the method is chosen to match your skin laxity, fat pads and muscle condition. Check whether the surgeon explains before surgery whether the fat will only be removed or repositioned, and where the incision will be made.

At Sehyun Plastic Surgery, Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon, personally handles the consultation, the surgery and follow-up for lower blepharoplasty. A fine incision is made along the lower lash line to correct the skin, fat and muscle together. The surgery takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, stitches are removed after about 4–5 days, and daily activities can be resumed after 2–4 days (recovery varies from person to person).

If too much skin is removed, the lower eyelid can turn outward.
That is why an experienced surgeon must plan precisely how far to lift the loose skin,
then lift it and remove the appropriate amount so that a natural-looking result can be expected.

At our clinic, Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok personally reads every online consultation request and writes each reply.
Dr. Yoo also personally conducts every in-person consultation. Because consultations are not possible during surgery,
we can only offer consultations to patients who have booked in advance.

At Sehyun, even your first consultation is a one-on-one session with Chief Surgeon Dr. Yoo Hyun-seok.
Dr. Yoo personally explains the initial assessment needed for surgery and the surgical plan, and helps you make your own decision.

The cost of lower blepharoplasty depends on the scope of surgery needed, such as skin removal, fat removal or repositioning, and muscle correction. We let you know the method and cost after assessing under-eye sagging, the amount of fat and muscle elasticity in consultation. You can inquire on the Cost Consultation page of the Consultation & Booking menu.

Reviews left by actual patients are in the Real Surgery Reviews list in the Before & After menu. Full reviews and photos are available after member login. Rather than looking only at photos taken right after surgery, it is a good idea to also see how the contours under the eyes settle over time.

According to the surgery information, you can return to daily activities 2–4 days after surgery, and stitches are removed after about 4–5 days. Recovery time varies from person to person depending on skin condition and the scope of surgery.

Even when visible swelling goes down, the internal tissue may still be healing. During recovery, avoid rubbing your eyes hard or bending your head down, and start wearing eye makeup as advised by your doctor.
