Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty in AB Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, helps remove under-eye bags and dark circles. The procedure typically runs around $1,900 and is performed by board-certified specialists using minimal-incision techniques. This clinic is recognized by the Ministry of Justice as an Excellent Medical Tourism Institution and holds KAHF accreditation for its high safety standards.
Surgery Methods and Recovery
Surgeons at the clinic use a precise method that preserves the orbicularis oculi nerve. This approach helps maintain natural muscle movement and avoids a hollow look. The procedure usually takes about 1 hour under topical or light sleep anesthesia. Patients can expect the following timeline:
- Hospital visits: 2–3 visits are required for check-ups and care.
- Initial recovery: Swelling and bruising start to fade after day 4.
- Stitch removal: Stitches are typically removed on day 7.
- Travel: Most international patients are cleared to fly home by day 8.
- Full results: Any residual tightness usually improves within 6–8 weeks.
Expertise at AB Plastic Surgery
The clinic operates a real-name surgeon system, so patients know exactly who performs their surgery. Dr. Song Cheon-Ho is a board-certified plastic surgeon known for natural results in fat repositioning. Dr. Jeong Yeon-Woo and Dr. Choi Jae-Ik also specialize in anti-aging eye surgery, often combining blepharoplasty with midface lifting for a more youthful look. The facility maintains a high safety ratio with full-time anesthesiology specialists making up over 45% of the medical staff.
Who is a Candidate?
This surgery is suitable for people with bulging under-eye fat that creates a tired or grumpy appearance. It also helps those with dark circles or loose skin and wrinkles under the eyes. For patients who only have fat protrusion without sagging skin, the doctors may suggest under-eye fat repositioning. This variant uses an incision inside the eyelid to avoid external scars.
What is Included
Patients receive a full care package to help with healing. This includes blood tests, EKG, and X-rays before the surgery. After the procedure, the clinic provides antibiotic ointment, pain medication, and a cooling eye mask. Detailed written instructions help patients manage their recovery at home. Multilingual support is available in several languages to help international patients understand every step of their treatment.
