Lower eyelid surgery is not simply about removing fat or tightening the skin.
In many cases, the real issue involves structural imbalance, including fat protrusion, volume loss, and weakened support of the lower eyelid.
This page presents real lower eyelid surgery cases performed at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery in Korea, focusing on fat repositioning, structural support, and long-term stability rather than aggressive removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can under-eye bags be treated without removing fat?
Yes. In many cases, fat repositioning can improve under-eye bulging while preserving volume. Removing fat is not always the best option, especially in patients at risk of hollowing.
Will lower eyelid surgery cause hollow eyes?
Hollowing can occur if too much fat is removed or if structural support is not properly restored. A conservative approach focusing on volume preservation helps reduce this risk.
How long does it take to see final results after lower eyelid surgery?
Early improvement can be seen within a few weeks, but final results should be evaluated over several months as swelling resolves and tissues stabilize.
