If you’re an international patient considering eye bag removal or lower blepharoplasty in Korea, JK Plastic Surgery Center in Seoul offers advanced techniques, personalized care, and internationally trusted results.
As Korea’s first government-certified medical institution for foreign patients, JK Plastic Surgery has treated thousands of clients worldwide using cutting-edge methods designed to remove eye bags safely, scar-free, and naturally. In this guide, we’ll walk you through JK’s unique approach to lower eyelid surgery and how it supports medical tourists seeking aesthetic improvement and quick recovery.
👁 What Is Lower Blepharoplasty (Eye Bag Removal)?
Lower blepharoplasty—often called eye bag removal surgery—is a cosmetic procedure that targets:
- Puffy under-eye fat deposits
- Loose or wrinkled skin below the lower eyelids
- Dark shadows and hollowness under the eyes
At JK Plastic Surgery, this procedure is tailored to each individual’s anatomy, age, and aesthetic goals, using a combination of fat repositioning, skin tightening, and scarless techniques.
✨ JK’s Specialized Techniques for Lower Eyelid Surgery
1. Transconjunctival Eye Bag Removal (Scar-Free)
- Ideal for younger patients with good skin elasticity and prominent eye bags.
- Fat is removed or repositioned through the inner eyelid, leaving no external scar.
- Minimal downtime and reduced risk of visible complications.
2. Lower Blepharoplasty with Skin Resurfacing
- For patients with loose or wrinkled lower eyelid skin.
- Combines fat repositioning with laser skin tightening or minimal skin excision.
- Creates a smoother, youthful under-eye contour.
3. Fat Grafting or Repositioning
- For those with hollow tear troughs or dark circles.
- JK’s surgeons reposition existing fat or use micro-fat grafting to smooth transitions between the lower lid and cheek.
- Results in a more refreshed, natural appearance without a hollow look.
