What is non incision lower blepharoplasty in Korea?

Non-incision lower blepharoplasty in Korea is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the under-eye area without cutting the skin. Surgeons reach the lower eyelid through the conjunctiva inside the lash line, so there is no visible scar. The technique combines transconjunctival fat removal and fat repositioning: bulging eye-bags are moved downward into tear-trough hollows to restore lost volume and correct dark circles. Because only micro-holes or sutures are used, swelling is minimal and recovery is completed within one week. The method is recommended for patients in their 30s to early 50s who have mild skin laxity, moderate fat protrusion, or tear-trough depression; if excess skin is present, an incisional approach is selected instead. Korean clinics have refined this scarless eyebag removal since the late 1990s and now deliver quick, natural-looking results with no hospitalization.
