Eye Bag Removal Surgery Korea

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.
