Eyelid surgery

Clears up dark circles, under-eye fat, and a tired appearance.

Lower eyelid surgery can help improve a tired-looking impression by addressing sagging skin, prominent fat, and shaded dark circles under the eyes. The incision method and amount of fat to be removed are designed according to the patient's under-eye thickness, skin elasticity, and fat location, and results may vary depending on individual conditions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some frequently asked questions about lower eyelid surgery. Please feel free to ask any additional questions during your consultation.

    • How long does the surgery take?

      It takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. The time may vary depending on the scope of the resection and the patient's under-eye condition.

    • How is anesthesia administered?

      It will be performed under general anesthesia, with local anesthesia used if necessary. Medical staff will continuously monitor you to ensure you do not feel any pain during the surgery.

    • What is the difference between a skin incision and a conjunctival incision?

      Skin incision is made along the line below the eyelashes to remove skin, muscle, and fat together, and conjunctival incision is performed internally, resulting in less burden of external scarring. The most suitable method will be guided through consultation based on your under-eye condition and the degree of skin sagging.

    • What is the recovery period?

      Bruising and swelling subside within 1-2 weeks, and it takes approximately 1-3 months for the natural contours to settle. Recovery patterns may vary by individual.

    • When are the stitches removed?

      The skin sutures are removed approximately 5 to 7 days after the incision, and if the procedure was performed with a conjunctival incision, the sutures are naturally absorbed. The timing of removal may be adjusted by the medical staff depending on the patient's recovery status.

    • What is the difference between lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat repositioning?

      Lower eyelid surgery focuses on organizing sagging skin and muscles and handling fat, while under-eye fat repositioning involves moving fat to achieve balance and is suitable for those with less skin sagging. The most appropriate method for your under-eye condition will be guided through a consultation.

    • Are the scars very noticeable?

      When performing a skin incision, we incise along the lash line to minimize scarring. For conjunctival incisions, there is virtually no external scarring. Recovery may vary depending on the patient's skin condition.

    • When do the results start to look natural?

      As swelling subsides, natural lines gradually form, stabilizing over approximately 1 to 3 months. The timing of settling may vary from person to person.
