Lower Blepharoplasty
Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Uneven fat bulges and sagging under-eye areas
that make you look older, addressed all at once

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Under-eye sagging and fat bulging,
lower blepharoplasty

This surgery addresses excessive sagging and bulging of fat tissue caused by aging. When fat protrusion under the eyes is pronounced even without skin sagging, an incision is made along the skin line under the lashes to reposition the under-eye fat.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye fat and sagging together

At TheLINE, lower blepharoplasty repositions under-eye fat through an incision made along the skin line under the lashes.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Rather than simply removing under-eye fat that has become excessively prominent with age, TheLINE moves it into the hollow under-eye groove to even out the contour.

Sagging Skin Trimmed

Loose lower eyelid skin is excised and lifted, tidying an eye area that looked older because of fine lines and slackness.

Orbicularis Muscle Fixation

Instead of pulling the skin alone, the orbicularis oculi muscle is fixed to the orbital rim to prevent the lower eyelid from everting after surgery.

Recommendation Target

Lower blepharoplasty is recommended for the following individuals

It is effective when under-eye fat protrusion and skin sagging are present together.

Eye fat

Fat + skin sagging

When the lower eyelid skin is sagging and under-eye fat is prominent, the fat and the skin have to be treated together for the eye area to look tidy.
Loose lower lid

Skin laxity

When the skin of the lower eyelid is loose and stretched, creating fine lines and blurring the shape of the eyes.
Tired Appearance

Hollow + fat

When you want to improve a constantly tired appearance caused by the shadow that under-eye hollowness and protruding fat create.
Dark Circles

Under-eye shadow

When the unevenness created by protruding fat casts a shadow that makes the under-eye area look dark, like dark circles.

Lower Blepharoplasty Steps

How is lower blepharoplasty performed?

The procedure runs through five steps, from design to suturing.

DESIGN

Design

TheLINE checks the position of the under-eye fat and the degree of skin sagging, then creates a design customized to the individual.

FAT REPOSITIONING

Fat Repositioning

After an incision is made along the skin line under the lashes, the protruding under-eye fat is repositioned.

SKIN REMOVAL

Sagging Skin Excision

The loose skin is excised and the remaining skin is lifted to tidy the eye area.

MUSCLE FIXATION

Muscle Fixation

The orbicularis oculi muscle is fixed to the orbital rim to prevent eyelid eversion after surgery.
