Why Choose Sinsa L for Lower Eyelid Surgery

  • Periorbital focus: We concentrate on eyelids and the lid-cheek junction for smooth, natural transitions—never hollowed.
  • Customized plan: Technique (inner vs. skin incision), fat repositioning vs. reduction, and lid support are matched to your anatomy.
  • Natural results: Volume is preserved or moved where needed to avoid a scooped look.
  • Clear guidance & safety: Transparent indications, risks, and recovery steps with structured follow-ups.
  • International-friendly care: English support, remote photo consults, clear quotes, and travel-aware scheduling.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Persistent under-eye puffiness/eye bags that don’t improve with sleep or skincare
  • Visible fat bulge with a tear-trough groove (shadow)
  • Mild–moderate lower-lid skin laxity or fine crepe lines
  • Desire a rested look without changing your natural eye shape
  • Able to follow aftercare and allow ~1–2 weeks of social downtime

Techniques We Offer

  • Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty (no external scar)
    Inner-eyelid access to
    reposition or conservatively reduce fat; best when skin quality is good.
  • Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty (skin incision)
    Fine incision beneath the lashes to treat fat, muscle, and
    excess skin; often paired with a skin-pinch for crepe lines.
  • Under-Eye Fat Repositioning / Septal Reset
    Moves protruding fat to fill the
    tear-trough/palpebromalar groove, smoothing the lid-cheek junction (Hamra-style when indicated).
  • Adjuncts (case-by-case)
    Canthopexy/canthoplasty for lid support and shape; SOOF lift for midface transition; energy devices/lasers for fine lines.

How We Choose the Approach

We evaluate skin laxity, fat compartment prominence, lower-lid tone, eye shape goals, and ethnic anatomy. The plan is then tailored to balance smoothness, support, and longevity.

Surgery vs. Fillers vs. Lasers

  • Surgery addresses structural fat herniation and lid support for a long-lasting improvement.
  • Fillers camouflage mild grooves but won’t remove bulging fat and can cause swelling/migration in some cases.
  • Lasers/energy refine fine lines/texture; they complement but don’t replace surgical correction of bags.

Your Treatment Journey

  1. Consultation & Imaging – Skin, fat pads, lid tone, midface support; photo review and plan.
  2. Pre-Op Prep – Health review, medication guidance, and instructions (smoking cessation; blood-thinner adjustments as directed).
  3. Surgery Day – Marking, anesthesia, precise contouring and support; typically same-day discharge.
  4. Aftercare & Checks – Cooling, head elevation; stitch removal (if applicable) at ~5–7 days; scheduled follow-ups.

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

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

Aftercare Tips

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

Risks & Considerations

Swelling/bruising, dryness, transient numbness, asymmetry, visible scarring (skin-incision cases), prolonged edema, contour irregularity, under/over-correction, need for revision, and rare lid malposition or ectropion. Your surgeon will personalize risk reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Will there be visible scars?
Transconjunctival leaves no external scar. Subciliary places a fine line beneath the lashes; meticulous closure and scar care minimize visibility.

How long do results last?
Typically many years; longevity varies with skin quality, aging, and lifestyle.

When can I wear makeup or contacts?
Usually after clearance following stitch removal (if any) and once swelling subsides.

Can I combine procedures?
Yes—common pairings include
tear-trough refinement, upper blepharoplasty/ptosis repair, or laser resurfacing for fine lines.

I’m visiting from overseas. How long should I stay?
Many international patients plan
7–10 days for checks and stitch removal when applicable.
