With age, the fat beneath the lower eyelid can bulge forward while the skin and muscle around it lose firmness — a combination that makes the whole face look tired. NewDay Plastic Surgery in Seoul offers lower blepharoplasty designed around each patient’s eye anatomy.
What lower blepharoplasty involves
The procedure is more than simply “removing eye bags.” The surgeon evaluates how much fat protrudes, how lax the skin is, the depth of the tear trough and the condition of the surrounding muscle, then decides whether to reposition the fat, remove excess tissue, tighten the skin, or combine these steps. Depending on the case, the incision can be placed inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar, or just below the lash line.
The NewDay approach
NewDay Plastic Surgery focuses on natural change: the goal is not to alter the eye shape but to restore a smooth, rested look to the under-eye area. During consultation, the surgeon explains what the operation can and cannot improve, helping patients set realistic expectations before committing.
Recovery and aftercare
Swelling and bruising are common in the first days and generally settle over a few weeks, with individual variation. Patients are advised to apply cold compresses, avoid rubbing the eyes and attend follow-up visits as scheduled. Whether surgery is suitable — and which technique fits — is determined at an in-person consultation.
International patients can arrange consultations at NewDay Plastic Surgery through Clinic in Korea’s coordination service.
