Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Korea |
Scarless Eye Bag Surgery by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty in Korea is an advanced lower eyelid procedure that removes or repositions under-eye fat through an incision inside the eyelid, leaving no visible external scar. At Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Ahn Sung Min customizes each surgery according to your eye anatomy and facial balance. The goal is smoother, refreshed under-eyes
while maintaining a natural appearance.
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Korea
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive lower eyelid surgery performed through the inner surface of the eyelid.
Because the incision is hidden inside the eyelid, there is no visible skin scar, making it an excellent option for suitable patients with eye bags but little excess skin.
Personalized Consultation by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive lower eyelid evaluation.
The examination includes:
- Under-eye fat protrusion
- Tear trough depth
- Skin elasticity
- Lower eyelid support
- Facial volume
- Eye symmetry
- Previous eyelid surgery
- Skin laxity
- Overall facial aging
The most appropriate surgical approach is selected based on each patient's anatomy.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is often recommended for patients with:
- Prominent eye bags
- Puffy lower eyelids
- Minimal loose skin
- Good skin elasticity
- Younger patients
- Tear trough deformities
- Desire to avoid external scars
- Good overall health
Patients with significant excess skin may benefit from a different lower blepharoplasty technique.
How Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty Is Performed
A small incision is made inside the lower eyelid.
Depending on the patient's needs, Dr. Ahn Sung Min may:
- Remove excess fat
- Reposition under-eye fat
- Smooth tear troughs
- Improve lower eyelid contours
- Preserve natural facial volume
Because the incision is inside the eyelid, no external stitches or visible scars are created.
Benefits of Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty
This procedure may help:
- Remove eye bags
- Improve under-eye puffiness
- Preserve natural volume
- Smooth tear troughs
- Avoid external scars
- Refresh tired-looking eyes
- Achieve natural-looking rejuvenation
- Deliver long-lasting results
The focus is on restoring youthful contours without changing the natural shape of the eyes.
Recovery After Surgery
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks.
Because there is no external incision, patients generally experience a faster recovery with no visible skin scar.
Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling resolves.
Revision Surgery
Revision surgery may be considered for patients with:
- Persistent eye bags
- Residual fat
- Contour irregularities
- Asymmetry
- Hollow under-eyes
- Unsatisfactory previous lower eyelid surgery
Revision procedures require careful evaluation because of previous anatomical changes.
International Patients
International patients may request 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 transconjunctival blepharoplasty?
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a lower eyelid surgery performed through an incision inside the eyelid, allowing treatment of eye bags without a visible external scar.
Will there be any visible scars?
No. The incision is made inside the lower eyelid, so there is no visible skin scar.
Who is a good candidate?
Patients with under-eye bags, good skin elasticity, and little excess skin are often ideal candidates.
Can fat be repositioned instead of removed?
Yes. Depending on your anatomy, Dr. Ahn Sung Min may reposition existing fat to smooth the under-eye contour and prevent a hollow appearance.
Is this procedure better than traditional lower blepharoplasty?
For patients with minimal skin laxity, transconjunctival blepharoplasty offers excellent results without an external incision. Patients with significant excess skin may require a skin-tightening procedure.
Does the surgery improve tear troughs?
Yes. Fat repositioning during the procedure can soften tear troughs and improve the transition between the eyelid and cheek.
Will my eyes look natural?
Yes. The procedure is designed to preserve normal eyelid anatomy while creating smoother and more youthful under-eyes.
How long do the results last?
Results are generally long-lasting, although natural aging continues over time.
How long is recovery?
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, while final results continue to refine over several months.
Can previous eye bag surgery be revised?
Yes. Revision surgery may improve residual eye bags, asymmetry, contour irregularities, or hollow under-eyes after previous procedures.
How long should international patients stay in Korea?
The recommended stay depends on the surgical plan and postoperative follow-up schedule.
Is an online consultation available?
Yes. International patients may submit photographs, previous surgical history, and their concerns for a preliminary assessment before traveling to Korea.
