Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)
A case study of a female patient in her 40s who achieved a youthful, refreshed look through lower blepharoplasty to address bulging fat and sagging skin.
* Basic Information
· Female in her 40s
· Under-eye fat: Moderate bulging
· Skin condition: Slight skin sagging and dark circles are prominent
· Primary complaint: ‘The bulging under my eyes makes me look tired and old.’
* Consultation
· This patient is a woman in her 40s whose main concerns are bulging under-eye fat and sagging skin.
· We need to create a smooth under-eye area through fat repositioning and excision of sagging skin.
· Creating a natural level of ‘aegyo-sal’ (love bands) can provide a more youthful appearance.
* Plan
Lower Blepharoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
· As the under-eye area became smooth and clear, the tired impression has also improved.
* Important Points
· Attempting to fix sagging skin by cutting away too much can lead to ectropion (turning outward of the lower eyelid). This not only looks unfavorable but also causes significant discomfort due to severe eye irritation. You must never over-excise skin aggressively!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
