Why Choose Sinsa L for Eye Bag Removal

• Periorbital focus: We specialize in eyelids and the under-eye (lower lid + midface), aiming for smooth, natural transitions—not a hollowed look.
• Customized planning: Choice of transconjunctival vs. skin-incision, fat repositioning vs. reduction, plus adjuncts (skin-pinch, canthopexy) based on your anatomy.
• Natural results: Preserve/support volume where it’s needed to avoid a “scooped” or over-resected appearance.
• Safety & clarity: Step-by-step explanations, realistic expectations, and structured aftercare.
• International-friendly: English support, photo consults, clear pricing guidance, and travel-aware scheduling.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Persistent under-eye puffiness that doesn’t improve with sleep or skincare
• Visible bulging fat pads and/or a tear-trough groove (shadow)
• Fine wrinkles or mild skin laxity of the lower lids
• Desire a rested look without changing your natural eye shape
• Willing to follow aftercare and allow 1–2 weeks of social downtime

Techniques We Offer

• Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty (No External Skin Scar)
  Incision on the inner eyelid to access and reposition or conservatively reduce fat; ideal when skin quality is good and laxity is minimal.
• Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty (Skin Incision)
  Fine incision just beneath the lash line to address fat, muscle, and excess skin; often paired with a skin-pinch for finer crepe lines.
• Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
  Moves protruding fat to fill the tear-trough/palpebromalar groove, smoothing the lid-cheek junction (often via septal reset/Hamra-style approach).
• Adjuncts (As Needed)
  Canthopexy/canthoplasty for lid support, SOOF lift for midface transition, laser/energy treatments for fine lines.

Eye Bags vs. Tear-Trough Fillers

• Surgery targets the structural cause (fat herniation + support), offering long-lasting smoothing.
• Fillers can camouflage mild grooves but won’t remove bulging fat and may migrate or cause swelling in some patients. We’ll advise the best route for your anatomy.

Your Treatment Journey

1. Consultation & Imaging – Photos, assessment of skin, fat compartments, lid tone, and midface support.
2. Plan & Quote – Technique selection (transconjunctival vs. subciliary), need for fat repositioning/skin-pinch/canthopexy, and recovery plan.
3. Surgery Day – Precise contouring and support; typically same-day discharge.
4. Aftercare & Follow-ups – Cooling, sleeping elevated, stitch removal (if applicable) at ~5–7 days; swelling care and review visits.

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

• Days 1–3: Swelling/tightness, mild bruising; cool compresses as directed
• Days 4–7: Stitches removed (if skin incision); light makeup after clearance
• Week 2: Most bruising settles; comfortable in social settings
• Weeks 3–6: Residual swelling refines; contour smooths
• Months 3–6: Final result and scar maturation

Aftercare Tips

• Sleep with head elevated for 1–2 weeks
• Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, alcohol for ~2 weeks
• Use prescribed ointments; protect scars from UV
• Report increasing pain, redness, or asymmetry promptly

Risks & Considerations

Temporary swelling/bruising, dryness, asymmetry, visible scarring (skin-incision cases), prolonged edema, contour irregularity, under/over-correction, need for revision, and rare lid malposition. Personal risks and prevention are reviewed in consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Will I look “hollow”?
Our approach emphasizes repositioning and support to maintain youthful volume and avoid hollowness.

Q2. Is transconjunctival always better?
It’s great for good-quality skin with prominent fat. If you also have excess skin/crepe lines, a subciliary approach or skin-pinch may be preferable.

Q3. When can I wear makeup or contacts?
Usually after medical clearance post stitch-out (if any) and when swelling subsides.

Q4. How long should I stay in Seoul?
Many international patients plan 7–10 days for early checks and stitch removal when applicable.

Q5. Can eye-bag surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes—common pairings include tear-trough correction, skin resurfacing around the eyes, ptosis repair, or upper blepharoplasty for balanced rejuvenation.
