Dark circles, wrinkles, and sagging under the eyes can significantly affect the overall impression of your face. These concerns may arise from aging, lifestyle habits, and other factors, often making the face appear tired or dull. The primary causes include bulging under-eye bags due to the loosening of the membrane supporting the orbital fat, sagging of the skin and muscles, and depressions or shadows under the eyes caused by the recession of the orbital bone.
Lower eyelid rejuvenation can be performed using non-invasive transconjunctival fat removal or through surgical skin incisions. At our clinic, board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience listen carefully to your concerns and guide you toward a refreshed, more youthful eye area.

Procedure Details
Transconjunctival Fat Removal, a non-incisional lower eyelid procedure, removes orbital fat from the inner side of the lower eyelid (conjunctival side) without cutting the skin.
Skin Incision Method involves excising sagging skin and excess orbital fat from the lower eyelid.
Anterior Hamra Technique removes sagging skin from the lower eyelid and repositions the orbital fat to create a smooth contour under the eyes.
Posterior Hamra Technique involves making an incision on the inner (conjunctival) side of the lower eyelid and repositioning the orbital fat to achieve a flat under-eye area.
