Lower blepharoplasty (Under-eye)
from 400,000 KRW* VAT Not Included
For cases of prominent under-eye bulging and significant skin laxity, a small incision is made close to the lower eyelashes to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat. The muscle is then pulled toward and secured at the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) to correct deep wrinkles. The amount of skin excision and degree of muscle tightening are tailored to the individual, and the procedure takes approximately 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Surgery Overview
Lower Blepharoplasty is a procedure that makes a fine incision close to the lower eyelashes to address sagging skin, muscle, and fat, then pulls and secures the muscle toward the outer corner of the eye to correct deep Under Eye wrinkles. It is suitable for patients with prominent Under Eye bulging and significant skin laxity.
Rejuvenate the appearance of the eye area by correcting the orbital septum, fat, and muscles that cause sagging, unattractive Under Eye wrinkles.
Recommended for
· Those with prominent Under Eye bulging and significant skin laxity · Those concerned about deep Under Eye wrinkles
Why Under Eye wrinkles develop
· Fine lines caused by decreased skin elasticity · Lower eyelid bulging and dark circles caused by weakening of the lower eyelid septum · Deep Under Eye wrinkles caused by weakening of lower orbital tissues
As aging progresses, the elasticity of the muscles and skin surrounding the Under Eye fat pads decreases, causing the fat to sag and Under Eye wrinkles to become more pronounced. Because the Under Eye area requires careful management of the multiple septa, fat, and muscles surrounding the fat, removing only excess skin may leave wrinkles unchanged or cause complications such as ectropion. Opera accurately identifies each individual's underlying cause and provides customized procedures, including Under Eye fat removal, Lower Blepharoplasty, and fat repositioning.
Features of Opera Under Eye Wrinkle Surgery
Point 1. Minimizing surgical traces
The inner conjunctiva of the eye is used, leaving no Scar Revision on the skin.
Point 2. Preserving your natural eye shape
The amount of skin excision and degree of muscle tightening are customized to improve wrinkles and elasticity while preserving your natural eye shape.
Point 3. Fuller Under-eye fullness and firmer-looking eyes
As wrinkles are removed, the Under-eye fullness becomes more defined, creating firmer-looking eyes. Depending on the degree of sagging, Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning or Lower Blepharoplasty is performed to create a smoother Under Eye area.
Point 4. Fast recovery
The procedure is relatively quick, with less bruising and swelling for faster recovery.
Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure
STEP 1. Fine incision and dissection
A fine incision is made close to the lower eyelashes, followed by dissection between the sagging skin, muscle, and fat.
STEP 2. Fat contouring and lifting
Unnecessary fat is removed or repositioned, followed by Lifting of the sagging Soft Tissue.
STEP 3. Excision and fixation
The remaining skin and muscle are excised, and the muscle is precisely secured toward the outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) to correct deep Under Eye wrinkles.
If unevenness of the Under Eye area and reduced elasticity are your primary concerns rather than skin laxity, consider Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning through the inner conjunctiva.

Pre- and Post-Operative Precautions
After surgery
· Swelling or bruising around the eyes may occur for 1–2 days after surgery and will gradually subside thereafter. · Apply cold compresses for approximately 6 days after surgery, then warm compresses to promote circulation. Place a thin towel over the eyes when applying compresses. · You may wash your face and wear makeup beginning the day after suture removal. · It is recommended not to wear contact lenses for about 3 weeks; wear glasses or sunglasses during this period. · Exercise other than light walks, as well as baths, jjimjilbangs, and saunas, may be resumed 3 weeks after surgery. A simple shower is possible from the following day. · Avoid sun exposure for 3 weeks after surgery and wear sunglasses outdoors. · When sleeping, elevate your head with 2–3 pillows, and avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for approximately 4 weeks. · Take only the pain relievers and antibiotics prescribed by the hospital. Avoid aspirin-based medications, as they may cause bleeding. · Alcohol and smoking may be resumed 3 weeks after surgery.
