“What Is Lower Eyelid Surgery?”

Lower Eyelid Surgery is a surgery that can freshen up your image by removing excess bulky fat tissues or flattening your under eye. There are three methods for the surgery depending on the condition. If you have sunken under eye, then under eye should be filled with layers of fats to flatten out. If you have dark circles, a thin layer of fat will be inserted to cover up the dark circle. If you have bulky eye bags, fat reposition and flattening out are required.

If you want to achieve a fresh and clean image, lower eyelid surgery is definitely recommended for you.
