Under-Eye Wrinkle Removal with Buried Suture

What Are Under-Eye Wrinkles?
The first symptom of aging for the eyes is under-eye wrinkles. They usually begin to appear in your mid-twenties and differ in shape and severity depending on the under-eye muscle movements, dermal thickness and elasticity of each individual. The under-eye muscles experience repeated contraction and relaxation, and consequently the under-eye skin undergoes repeated wrinkling and smoothing. Until the early twenties, under-eye skin leaves no wrinkle thanks to its own resilience and elasticity, but from the mid-twenties, wrinkles begin to remain. In particular, those who have lots of movement in their under-eye muscles, thinner skin and lower elasticity are likely to have more and deeper wrinkles. As time passes, wrinkles become permanent and deep with less and less elastic, sagging under-eye skin and muscles, giving way to a bulging shape combined with protruded fat pads.

Under-Eye Wrinkle Removal with Buried Suture

This is a surgical method of removing under-eye wrinkles caused by repeated movement and reduced elasticity of the under-eye muscles and skin, in which the under-eye muscles and skin are detached through a small incision around the lateral canthi, rearranged, tightly pulled and then fastened to the periosteum with buried a suture.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper eyelids are one of the fastest aging parts and display sagging with age. If the brows are also sagging, simultaneous brow lift with this surgery produces a more effective and natural-looking outcome.

Complex Lower Blepharoplasty

The orbital septum weakens with age and the orbital fat surrounded by it escapes, making the under-eye skin and muscles sag. If the degree of sagging is not severe, both or either of Under-Eye Wrinkle Removal with Buried Suture and Dark Circle Surgery would be good. However, severely sagging skin and deep, long wrinkles under the eyes can be effectively corrected through Complex Lower Blepharoplasty, cutting off excess lower eyelid skin.

Sub-Brow Lift Surgery

For the middle-aged who have thick under-eye skin, excessive double eyelid surgery often produces an artificial look of the eyes. For them, this surgery corrects sagging eyelids and makes the eyes look natural and open by lifting the drooping brows. Sagging eyelids may cause the skin around the eyes to become sore and inflammatory, and make a deep line on the forehead since one tends to raise the forehead muscles to improve obstructed vision. The sagging skin and muscles right under the brows are excised and inner muscles are pulled and sutured to the periosteum.
