Lower Eyelid Surgery by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Subciliary lower blepharoplasty in Korea is an advanced lower eyelid procedure performed through an incision just beneath the eyelashes to remove excess skin, reposition or remove fat, and tighten the lower eyelid. At Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahn Sung Min customizes each surgery according to the patient's anatomy and aging pattern. The goal is smoother, firmer, and
naturally rejuvenated lower eyelids.
Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty Korea
Subciliary lower blepharoplasty is a lower eyelid surgery performed through a fine incision placed immediately beneath the lower eyelashes.
This approach allows the surgeon to treat excess skin, wrinkles, under-eye bags, and lower eyelid laxity in a single procedure while keeping the scar discreet.
Personalized Consultation by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Every patient undergoes a detailed lower eyelid assessment.
The evaluation includes:
- Under-eye fat protrusion
- Excess skin
- Skin elasticity
- Lower eyelid support
- Tear trough depth
- Wrinkle severity
- Eye symmetry
- Previous eyelid surgery
- Overall facial aging
The surgical technique is selected according to each patient's anatomy and cosmetic goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Subciliary lower blepharoplasty is often recommended for patients with:
- Eye bags
- Loose lower eyelid skin
- Fine wrinkles
- Moderate to severe skin laxity
- Lower eyelid aging
- Tear trough deformities
- Tired-looking eyes
- Good overall health
Patients with minimal skin excess may be better candidates for transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
How Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty Is Performed
A fine incision is made just below the lower eyelashes.
Depending on the patient's needs, Dr. Ahn Sung Min may perform:
- Fat repositioning
- Fat removal
- Removal of excess skin
- Muscle tightening
- Lower eyelid support procedures
- Tear trough correction
The incision is carefully closed to create a natural-looking lower eyelid contour with minimal visible scarring.
Benefits of Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty
This procedure may help:
- Remove eye bags
- Tighten loose lower eyelid skin
- Reduce wrinkles
- Improve tear troughs
- Smooth the eyelid-to-cheek junction
- Refresh tired-looking eyes
- Restore youthful lower eyelids
- Achieve long-lasting rejuvenation
The objective is a refreshed appearance while preserving normal eyelid shape and facial expression.
Recovery After Surgery
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks.
The incision beneath the eyelashes typically becomes less noticeable as healing progresses, while final results continue to improve over several months.
Regular follow-up appointments help ensure optimal recovery.
Revision Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty
Revision surgery may be recommended for patients with:
- Persistent eye bags
- Remaining loose skin
- Lower eyelid asymmetry
- Contour irregularities
- Hollow under-eyes
- Unsatisfactory previous lower eyelid surgery
Revision procedures require careful planning because of scar tissue and previous surgical changes.
International Patients
International patients may receive an online consultation before traveling to Korea.
Recommended photographs include:
- Front view
- Side view
- Looking upward
- Looking straight ahead
- Smiling
- Neutral facial expression
Patients should also provide previous eyelid surgery history, medical conditions, and current medications.
The final surgical plan is confirmed during the in-person consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is subciliary lower blepharoplasty?
Subciliary lower blepharoplasty is a lower eyelid surgery performed through an incision just beneath the eyelashes to remove excess skin, improve eye bags, and tighten the lower eyelid.
Why is a subciliary approach used?
This technique allows the surgeon to treat both under-eye fat and excess skin at the same time, making it ideal for patients with visible lower eyelid aging.
Will the scar be visible?
The incision is placed immediately beneath the eyelashes and typically heals into a fine, discreet line that becomes difficult to notice over time.
Who is a good candidate?
Patients with eye bags, loose skin, wrinkles, and lower eyelid laxity are often good candidates for this procedure.
Can fat be repositioned instead of removed?
Yes. Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Ahn Sung Min may reposition under-eye fat to create smoother, more natural contours.
Is this different from transconjunctival blepharoplasty?
Yes. The subciliary approach allows removal of excess skin, whereas transconjunctival blepharoplasty is generally recommended for patients with minimal skin laxity.

Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, while final results continue to refine over several months.
Can previous lower eyelid surgery be revised?
Yes. Revision surgery can improve persistent eye bags, loose skin, asymmetry, contour irregularities, or hollow under-eyes after previous surgery.
How long should international patients stay in Korea?
