What is Lower eyelid surgery or Lower Blepharoplasty?
As the fats around the eyes sink due to aging, the lines under the eyes tend to make the eyes look very tired, which ages us. You can improve this aging effect on the eyes by removing the sagging skin and unnecessary fats. This removal method reduces and has a tightening effect on the skin and wrinkles around the eyes.
Lower Eyes Blepharoplastyis a surgery to reshape the skin of the lower eyelids by excising eye bags and excess fats in the lower eyelids. So, Lower Blepharoplasty is an appropriate surgical procedure for rejuvenation the eyes, especially the lower eyelid area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between Under Eye Fat Repositioning and Lower Blepharoplasty?
A: Under Eye Fat Repositioning is focused on the correction of the lacrimal groove. During the Under Eye Fat Repositioning surgery, fats under the lacrimal groove are repositioned. The Lower Blepharoplasty surgery is focused on not only the correction of the lacrimal groove but also the incision of loose skin around the eyes in order to make the eyes tighter.
Q: Could the eyes recur after the Lower Blepharoplasty surgery?
A: After a long time, the skin around the eyes could become loose again. At Answer Plastic Surgery, Dr. Choi minimizes this recurrence by the correction of the lacrimal groove and loose skin with his experience and know-how.
Q: Does Lower Blepharoplasty surgery remove the bags under the eyes?
A: No, it does not. At the Answer Plastic Surgery, Dr. Choi does not get rid of the muscles that make the bags under the eyes during the Lower Blepharoplasty surgery. So, the bags under the eyes would not be removed after the Lower Blepharoplasty.
