Lower eyelid surgery

Simultaneously improves under-eye fat and hollowness

Due to aging, fat shifts forward and causes tear troughs to form, resulting in sagging fat pockets and under-eye fat.
It improves under-eye wrinkles and puffiness by removing or repositioning.

Lower eyelid surgery Surgical method

We establish a surgical plan by assessing the condition of the bulging under-eye area caused by sagging skin and fat.
The skin under the eyes is carefully incised to reposition and partially remove protruding fat, and the septum is reinforced to prevent bulging.
It also fixes the sagging orbicularis oculi to prevent ectropion and restores the under-eye bags.

A-Top Plastic Surgery Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

Lower eyelid surgery technology

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that simultaneously resolves functional and aesthetic issues by improving sagging lower eyelids to create a naturally defined eye shape.

POINT 01
POINT 02

To prevent the area under the eyes from looking flat and sunken,

You need to know the cause.

If the orbicularis oculi muscle and branches of the facial nerve are damaged during lower eyelid surgery, the aegyo-sal (under-eye bags) are lost, causing the area under the eyes to appear sunken.
A-Top establishes a customized surgical plan by meticulously analyzing the location and size of the under-eye bags prior to surgery.
During surgery, the nerve branch passing directly beneath the eyelashes is meticulously preserved, and the orbicularis oculi muscle is appropriately dissected and repositioned to restore the under-eye line.

Know-how on preventing ectropion

Ectropion is caused by excessive removal of skin from the lower eyelid.
It refers to the lower eyelid being turned inside out, revealing the red conjunctiva.

A-Top analyzes and verifies the degree of sagging and aging of the skin under the eyes before surgery.
By assessing the condition of the lower eyelid muscles, fat volume, bone depth, etc.
Lower eyelid correction know-how that excises skin while minimizing damage to the orbicularis oculi muscle
Because it has this, the probability of ectropion occurring is significantly lower.
