Treatment Overview
Laser-Assisted Lower Blepharoplasty is a modern eyelid rejuvenation surgery that uses laser technology instead of a scalpel to correct under-eye bags, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The laser allows for high precision, less bleeding, faster healing, and smoother results compared to traditional methods. In Korea, surgeons frequently use this advanced technique for natural-looking, scar-minimized, and youthful eye area rejuvenation, making it a popular choice among both local and international patients.
Purpose & Benefits
- Reduces under-eye bags and puffiness
- Tightens loose or sagging lower eyelid skin
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Stimulates collagen for long-term skin improvement
- Minimizes bleeding and swelling due to laser precision
- Shorter recovery compared to traditional blepharoplasty
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with mild to moderate eye bags
- Individuals with wrinkled or crepey under-eye skin
- Those who want less invasive alternatives to traditional surgery
- Patients seeking faster healing and minimal downtime
- Adults in their 30s–60s with visible signs of lower eyelid aging
Possible Risks & Complications
While considered safe, potential risks include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or redness
- Dry eyes or mild irritation
- Rare pigmentation changes (especially in darker skin tones)
- Over- or under-correction if excess tissue removal isn’t balanced
- Risk of asymmetry, though minimized with precise Korean techniques
Surgical Techniques Used
- Laser Incision: Creates incisions with CO₂ or Er:YAG laser for minimal bleeding
- Fat Removal/Repositioning: Removes or redistributes fat pads for smooth contour
- Skin Tightening: Laser energy contracts collagen fibers and stimulates new production
- Wrinkle Refinement: Laser resurfacing smooths fine lines during the same procedure
- Scarless Approach: Often performed through transconjunctival (inner eyelid) incision
Recovery & Aftercare
- Swelling and bruising typically resolve in 5–7 days
- Most patients return to work within 1 week
- Makeup can usually be applied after 7–10 days
- Avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunglasses for protection
- Use prescribed eye drops or ointments to reduce dryness
- Final results become visible within 1–3 months
Results & Longevity
- Creates a younger, smoother, and refreshed under-eye area
- Reduces puffiness and wrinkles with natural outcomes
- Skin continues to improve as collagen regenerates
- Results typically last 7–10 years, depending on skin aging and lifestyle
- Can be combined with fat grafting or PRP for enhanced longevity
