How it is done
Prior to surgery, the degree of sagging, orbicularis muscle condition, fat volume and facial structure are analysed to decide whether and how to operate. In lower blepharoplasty, a minimal incision is made at the outer corner, avoiding the inner part to preserve nerves; under-eye fat is removed or repositioned to smooth the area and the septum is reinforced. The orbicularis muscle is then pulled and fixed, and the remaining skin is trimmed and sutured. Mini lower blepharoplasty uses a fine incision along the inner eyelid line, repositions excess fat into hollow areas, and lifts and fixes the loosened orbital septum, then sutures the incision.
