Lower Blepharoplasty

* Basic Information

· Male in his 50s

· Medical history: Lower blepharoplasty (4–5 years ago)

· Under-eye fat: Severe puffiness

· Skin condition: Significant sagging, markedly reduced elasticity, and thin skin

· Chief complaint: 'My under-eye area looks messy and makes me look older.'

​

* Consultation

· This is a man in his 50s whose primary concerns are under-eye fat puffiness and skin laxity.

· He has had surgery before, which appears to have involved only the excision of excess sagging skin.

· Our plan is to partially remove the protruding fat, perform micro-fat grafting, and excise the lax skin to create a smoother, cleaner under-eye contour.

· Because skin elasticity is significantly reduced, overly aggressive skin excision can easily lead to ectropion (lower eyelid eversion).

Lower blepharoplasty

Micro-fat grafting

* Postoperative Progress

· Some of the fat was removed, and sunken areas were filled with micro-fat grafting.

· The under-eye area looks smooth and refreshed — excellent results :)

​

* Key Points

· Attempting to correct under-eye skin laxity by removing too much skin leads to ectropion (lower eyelid eversion). This is not only cosmetically unfavorable but also causes significant eye irritation and discomfort. Aggressive over-resection of skin must be avoided!

Consultations and procedures should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
