Under-eye bags and puffiness refer to the protrusion or swelling of fat pads beneath the lower eyelid, often paired with dark shadows and crepey skin.

The condition is largely hereditary but can be accelerated by aging, fluid retention, and loss of midface volume. Both younger and older patients are affected.

Dr. Kim personally performs lower blepharoplasty using a transconjunctival approach when possible to reposition or remove fat without external scarring. For patients with mild puffiness only, non-surgical options may be appropriate.

Dr. Kim brings dual-continent training (Brown University, Seoul) and an artistic eye to every consultation. Schedule a personal consultation to discuss whether Lower Blepharoplasty is right for you.
