Treatment Overview
Lower eyelid surgery is an eye procedure that removes accumulated fat and sagging skin beneath the eyes to refine the under-eye contour. The goal is to remove fat pockets under the eyes and maintain a smooth under-eye area; depending on the degree of skin sagging and the condition of the fat, we plan the most appropriate approach, whether it be lower eyelid fat repositioning or lower eyelid surgery.

Treatment Methods and Types
Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
For cases where the under-eye area is sunken and fat pockets have bulged downward, this procedure involves making an incision in the lower conjunctiva to reposition the accumulated fat into the sunken areas. This procedure is recommended for patients with elastic skin and prominent fat pockets. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and the recovery schedule will be provided during your consultation.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
This procedure involves making an incision along the eyelashes to minimize the visibility of the scar, followed by the removal of an appropriate amount of excess skin and fat. It is recommended for patients with sagging skin under the eyes or numerous fine lines. The procedure takes approximately 40 minutes, and we will provide details on the schedule for suture removal and recovery during your consultation.
