What is Lower Eyelid Sagging Removal?
This procedure involves a small incision just below the lower lash line. Excess skin is carefully removed, and if necessary, the orbicularis oculi muscle is tightened to reduce lower eyelid sagging and wrinkles, helping to restore a refreshed eye area.
In cases with under‑eye bulging, orbital fat may also be removed. For patients with noticeable under‑eye hollows, we may recommend the Hamra method, which repositions fat to fill depressions and reduce dark circles. -
Main Causes of Lower Eyelid Sagging
The primary cause is aging. Over time, the bones that support the lower eyelids shrink, cheeks become hollow, and ligaments that connect the skin to bone loosen—contributing to lower eyelid sagging. Other factors include UV damage, obesity, and smoking.
Under‑eye sagging and puffiness can create a tired or older appearance. Lower eyelid sagging removal eliminates excess skin and fat, rejuvenating the eye area. -
Difference Between “Lower Eyelid Sagging Removal” and “Under‑Eye Dark Circle and Sagging Removal”
Although similar in name, these two procedures differ significantly:
・Lower Eyelid Sagging Removal: Incision is made just beneath the lower lashes to remove excess skin and, if necessary, orbital fat.
・Under‑Eye Dark Circle and Sagging Removal: A 5–7 mm incision is made on the inner surface of the lower eyelid (conjunctiva) to remove or reposition orbital fat—leaving no external scar.
The former is ideal for patients with significant loose skin, while the latter suits those whose primary concern is puffiness or dark circles caused by fat. A medical consultation will help determine the best option.

FAQ
- Q Does lower eyelid sagging removal cause swelling or bruising?
-
A
While individual responses vary, significant swelling typically subsides within 1–2 weeks, and bruising tends to fade in about 2 weeks.
- Q How long is the downtime after lower eyelid sagging removal?
-
A
The shape of the lower eyelid generally stabilizes around 4 weeks post-surgery. Skin discoloration around the area typically changes from purple to yellow and returns to normal in about 2 weeks.
- Q When can I start wearing makeup after the procedure?
-
A
Makeup can be applied under the eyes after suture removal one week after surgery. For other areas of the face, makeup is generally allowed from the following day. Please consult your doctor for specific guidance.
- Q Can I shower or wash my face after the surgery?
-
A
Showering and face washing are allowed on the day of surgery, as long as the incision area is kept dry. Please ask your physician for detailed instructions.
- Q What type of anesthesia is used for lower eyelid sagging removal?
-
A
After applying topical anesthetic eye drops, local anesthesia is delivered via an ultra-fine needle. Since the local anesthesia is applied after the numbing takes effect, injection pain is minimized.
- Q Are the results of lower eyelid sagging removal permanent?
-
A
No, the effects are not permanent. Even after surgery, sagging may recur over time due to aging. However, appropriate surgical techniques and post-operative care can help prolong the results and prevent recurrence.
- Q What precautions should I take after surgery?
-
A
We recommend resting for 2–3 days after the procedure. Please avoid intense exercise, long baths, and alcohol consumption until your doctor gives clearance.
- Q At what age can I undergo lower eyelid sagging removal?
-
A
At BIANCA CLINIC, many patients undergo the procedure from their late 20s onward. However, those with minimal skin laxity may not be ideal candidates. In such cases, we will suggest more appropriate treatments based on your condition.
