Lower Blepharoplasty for Middle Age: Bulging Under-Eye Fat
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery. As procedures such as eye surgery and rhinoplasty, which help create more harmonious facial proportions and enhance beautiful features, have become more common, many people are seeking information regardless of gender or age. In particular, as we naturally get older, we go through the aging process. Due to this aging process, the elasticity around the eyes decreases, the eye shape begins to droop, and hollowing or bulging fat under the eyes can make one’s overall impression look older. Middle-aged eye surgery is becoming an emerging trend as a procedure that improves these concerns. Examples include lower blepharoplasty for middle age and upper blepharoplasty for middle age.
The before-and-after case above is also a case in which lower blepharoplasty and upper blepharoplasty for middle age were performed together, so it may be helpful as a reference. Lower blepharoplasty for middle age, one of the rising middle-aged cosmetic procedures, can improve the appearance of bulging under-eye fat pads that become more noticeable with age. When under-eye fat protrudes excessively, it can make the impression look harsh, and unevenness under the eyes may cause discomfort. For this reason, many people seek lower blepharoplasty for middle age. This procedure removes protruding fat under the eyes to make the under-eye area flatter and more even, helping create a younger-looking and more lively eye appearance after surgery.
One reason under-eye fat protrudes excessively is that the skin and muscles sag, causing the aegyo-sal, one of the features associated with a youthful look, to diminish while bulky fat develops. In such cases, lower blepharoplasty for middle age can fix the orbicularis oculi muscle to create aegyo-sal and improve elasticity in the under-eye skin, helping prevent hollowing. Upper blepharoplasty for middle age, on the other hand, is a procedure performed to improve drooping eyes. Once the eye area begins to sag and collapse, the shape of the eyes can also change. The eyes may droop into a triangular shape.
By lifting the drooping levator palpebrae superioris in this way, the sagging eye shape can be corrected, helping prevent the eyelids from drooping again. As in the case above, when lower blepharoplasty and upper blepharoplasty for middle age are performed together, the under-eye area becomes flatter and the eye area is less likely to droop. However, because this surgery is performed on middle-aged patients, it requires extensive knowledge and understanding. It is important to find a hospital that specializes in this procedure and choose an experienced specialist. Unlike eye surgery commonly sought by people in their 20s and 30s, middle-aged eye surgery focuses on skin excision, fat removal, and muscle reinforcement, so entrusting the surgery to an experienced specialist can also make postoperative care easier.
It is not always necessary to choose middle-aged eye surgery, but as we age and go through the aging process, functional problems can inevitably occur. In particular, if the eye area is severely drooping or the under-eye area is markedly bulging, it may even cause discomfort in securing the field of vision. We hope you will consider lower blepharoplasty and upper blepharoplasty for middle age in such cases, and that through a careful decision, you can achieve healthy, firm-looking eyes. Thank you.
