Quick Overview

• Procedures: Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, subciliary (skin-incision) lower blepharoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning, skin-pinch, optional canthopexy/canthoplasty
• Concerns treated: Eye bags, bulging fat, tear-trough hollow/shadow, fine wrinkles, lateral hooding
• Anesthesia: Local with sedation (or general—case dependent)
• Surgery time: ~60–120 minutes
• Downtime: Stitches out ~5–7 days (if any); social downtime ~7–10 days
• Longevity: Typically many years with proper technique and aftercare

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.
