Eye Bag Removal Surgery Korea
Seoul, Gangnam
eyebagremovalkorea.com is dedicated to
Dr. Lee Young-geun (Sinsa L Plastic Surgery), a Seoul-based specialist
in lower blepharoplasty and fat repositioning.
“Eye bag removal” is a cosmetic procedure that treats the bulge and shadow under the eyes caused by protruding lower-eyelid fat and (sometimes) loose skin. The medical name is lower blepharoplasty.
What it does
- Smooths the lid–cheek junction by repositioning (often better than simply removing) the herniated fat to fill the tear-trough groove.
- If needed, trims a small amount of excess skin and tightens support so the lower lid keeps a natural shape.
How it’s done (two main approaches)
- Transconjunctival (from inside the eyelid): no external skin scar; ideal when skin quality is good and the main issue is fat bulge.
- Subciliary (a fine line under the lashes): used when you also need skin/muscle fine-tuning or a small “skin-pinch.”
- A canthopexy/canthoplasty (corner support stitch) may be added to protect lid position, especially with lax lids.
Anesthesia & recovery
- Usually local anesthesia with light sedation; ~60–120 minutes.
- Swelling/bruise peaks days 1–3; stitches out ~day 5–7 (if an external incision). Most people feel socially presentable in ~7–10 days; refinements continue for 3–6 months.

Our Clinic Inside
Testimonials
The results are absolutely amazing! The unevenness under my eyes is now smooth, and the dark shadows have disappeared, giving me a much fresher and more vibrant look. People around me have also said my expression looks much brighter, and I feel so happy about it.
The results are extremely satisfying. Specifically, they performed a micro-fat graft along with the under-eye fat repositioning. This technique used fat to compensate for insufficient volume, making the under-eye area look firm, natural, and also alleviating the dark circles.
I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who is concerned about their under-eye area, just like I was.
The consultants and staff are all very enthusiastic, the director's advice is also very detailed and easy to understand. Especially when consulting on double chin, the doctor also uses ultrasound to determine the exact amount of fat that can be removed and come up with a suitable plan. The hospital is very large, the hospital space is also spacious, airy and clean 👍
I especially appreciated how they carefully analyzed my face structure and customized a plan that fit my needs perfectly. The clinic itself is modern, bright, and very clean, which gave me a lot of confidence in the procedure. Everything felt well-organized and professional, and I left with a very positive impression. Highly recommended! 🌟
