Lower blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty often addresses issues like tear troughs, pretarsal silkworm, and sunken malar areas simultaneously, achieving a visual improvement that makes individuals appear more refreshed and captivating. Consequently, it has consistently been a highly popular procedure in the field of plastic surgery.

At Mumake Clinic, Dr. Chen Chenkun, our Director of Medical Technology, with nearly 20 years of extensive experience in Lower lid blepharoplasty, has developed two techniques：“Kun's transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty” and “Kun's transcuatenous lower bleapharoplasty”. These methods allow for a customized approach to address a patient's comprehensive eye bag concerns while keeping incisions small and ensuring a natural postoperative appearance.

Causes and Locations of Eye Bags, Pretarsal Silkworm, and Tear Troughs

Pretarsal Silkworm

Pretarsal Silkworms are a part of the Orbicularis Oculi muscle, which becomes more pronounced when the muscles contract, often appearing more prominent when smiling.

Eye Bags

Eye bags are primarily composed of fat and can result from various factors, such as genetics or the aging process.

Tear troughs

Tear troughs are fibrous bands attached to the eye socket bone. Deep tear troughs can give the appearance of dark circles and a tired look.

Mumake Clinic, Dr. Chen Chenkun, our Director of Medical Technology, has introduced two innovative techniques over nearly 20 years of experience in the field— “Kun's transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty” and “Kun's transcuatenous lower bleapharoplasty”. These approaches address various eye bag concerns with minimal scarring, quick recovery, and simultaneous improvement in multiple issues, including dark circles, tear troughs, and pretarsal silkworm Whether it's long-standing "baggy grooves," pigmentation issues around the eyes, sagging skin, or fine lines around the eyes, all can be improved.

Kun's transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty

Suitable Candidates: Individuals with good skin elasticity, mild under-eye bag concerns, and no severe sagging.

① Fat Repositioning

Through an incision made inside the conjunctiva of the eye, the tear trough ligament is separated and relaxed. Subsequently, the lower eyelid fat is gently separated and repositioned or pushed back into the tear trough depression. This approach helps tighten the lower eyelid, making crow's feet more prominent and simultaneously addressing tear trough issues.

② Nanofat Filling

In the case of an internal eye bag approach, concerns related to mid-face hollowness are also considered. By using autologous fat harvested via liposuction to create "nanofat" (ultra-fine fat particles), these are then used to fill mid-face depressions. This results in a beautifully contoured appearance of the apple of the cheek and enhances the effects of step ① fat repositioning.

③ Lateral Canthopexy

Achieving fullness is important, but firmness is equally crucial. The final step involves tightening and suspending the loosened fascia to make the outer corner of the eye more taut, ultimately achieving a lifting and rejuvenating effect.

Kun's transcuatenous lower bleapharoplasty

Suitable Candidates: Individuals with severe skin sagging around the eyes, middle-aged and elderly individuals.

① Tear Trough Repositioning

Relax the tear trough ligament and the eye orbicularis muscle, altering the structure of the tear trough. Gently separate the lower eyelid fat pad and secure it back in the tear trough depression. This approach tightens the lower eyelid, making crow's feet more prominent, and simultaneously addresses tear trough concerns.

② Nanofat Filling

Using autologous nanofat to fill mid-face depressions results in beautifully contoured apple cheeks. This enhances the effects of step ① fat repositioning.

③ Pretarsal Silkworm Suspension (+ Skin Rejuvenation)

For patients with relatively loose skin, although eyelid surgery cannot completely eliminate dynamic fine lines, the use of autologous fat shaping, along with the final step of pretarsal silkworm suspension (some patients may also opt for external skin tightening), leads to the formation of attractive pretarsal silkworm, giving a more youthful appearance.
