by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Eye bags are commonly caused by protruding fat, aging, weakened support tissues, or excess lower eyelid skin. At Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahn Sung Min carefully evaluates the cause of your eye bags before recommending the most appropriate treatment. The goal is smoother, brighter, and naturally youthful-looking under-eyes.

Eye bags can make you appear older, tired, or fatigued even when you are well rested.
Because every patient has different facial anatomy, treatment is customized and may involve lower blepharoplasty, fat repositioning, fat grafting, or regenerative under-eye treatments rather than simply removing fat.
