What Is Eye Bag Removal Surgery?

Eye Bag Removal Surgery (하안검 지방제거수술) is a cosmetic eyelid procedure that removes or repositions excess fat under the eyes to eliminate puffiness and tired appearance.
At QD Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Dr. Hong performs advanced under-eye correction that smooths and brightens the lower eyelid while keeping the results natural, scar-free, and youthful.

Who Should Consider Eye Bag Removal?

You may be a good candidate if you have:

• Noticeable under-eye puffiness or swelling
• Sagging skin or wrinkles beneath the eyes
• Dark shadows caused by bulging fat pads
• A constantly “tired” or “sleep-deprived” appearance
• Eye bags that don’t improve with sleep or skincare

This procedure is ideal for both men and women seeking a refreshed and confident look.

Techniques Used at QD Plastic Surgery

1. Transconjunctival Eye Bag Removal

A scarless method performed through the inside of the lower eyelid.
✅ Best for younger patients with good skin elasticity
✅ Removes excess fat precisely without external incision

2. External (Subciliary) Method

For patients with loose or sagging skin, this approach tightens both fat and skin simultaneously.
✅ Improves wrinkles and under-eye drooping
✅ Smooths and tightens the entire lower eyelid area

3. Eye Bag Removal + Fat Repositioning

Combines removal and redistribution of fat to correct both puffiness and hollow under-eyes for a balanced contour.
