  The Butterfly Lower Blepharoplasty: A Mid-face Lift for Results in a Class of Their Own In this post, I'll be introducing the signature procedure of Returning Plastic Surgery: the Butterfly Lower Blepharoplasty. Hello, this is Dr. Kim Yong-woo, Director of Returning Plastic Surgery. Lower blepharoplasty is the most common and representative eye surgery for middle-aged patients. However, surgical techniques vary widely between clinics, and results can be unsatisfactory or lead to complications. To ensure a safe and highly satisfactory outcome, it's essential to accurately understand the reasons for aging in the lower eyelid area to formulate a better diagnosis and surgical strategy. "Butterfly Lower Blepharoplasty" is officially in the process of being trademarked by our clinic! The Aging of the Lower Eyelid (An Anatomical Understanding) If we look at the anatomy of the lower eyelid, the skin, muscle (orbicularis oculi), and orbital septum form the ou...

For patients needing to revise a previous lateral canthoplasty due to side effects, choosing the right hospital and surgical method can be a distressing process. Furthermore, with the rise in popularity of "cat-eye" or "fox-eye" looks, like those of celebrities Karina and Jennie, there has been a surge in demand for the Returning Fox Eye Lift. This has also led to an increase in inquiries about using this technique for lateral canthoplasty revision, which prompted me to prepare this post. The Returning Plastic Surgery's Fox Eye Lift is a technique called Elastic Canthopexy . It is also a reconstructive method used for intractable ectropion cases where the lateral canthal anatomy has been so severely damaged that a standard canthopexy is no longer a viable option. Side effects from a lateral canthoplasty stem from damage to the structures of the outer eye corner (the lateral canthus). This is why a simple revision surgery has a high probability of failure...

  Hello, this is Dr. Kim Yong-woo, Director of Returning Plastic Surgery. Recently, there has been a surge of interest and a high volume of inquiries about the outer eye corner lift surgery, which prompted me to create this video and post. The outer eye corner surgery is also known as the "Fox Eye" surgery . It is a procedure for those who desire a chic and sophisticated impression with uplifted eye corners, similar to those of a fox. If you draw a straight line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, the angle it creates is called the canthal tilt (or Mongolian slant). Whether congenitally or due to aging, if the outer corner of the eye is slightly lower than the inner corner, or if the canthal tilt is too flat, it can create a sad or tired-looking impression. The outer eye corner lift is a surgery that elevates the angle of the outer corner to transform this into a more refined and sophisticated look. However, because the outer eye corner lift can h...

Get It Done Right — Don’t Compromise on Your Lower Blepharoplasty! By Dr. Yongwoo Kim, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Returning Plastic Surgery Introduction Hello, I’m Dr. Yongwoo Kim, board-certified plastic surgeon. Lower eyelid surgery is a must-have procedure in anti-aging surgery — especially popular among men. Because of high demand, it’s offered by nearly every plastic surgery clinic, even at non-specialist offices. It may seem like a common and simple surgery, but true lower eyelid surgery requires a deep understanding of anatomy and orbital pressure dynamics . This is not a procedure to get just anywhere. Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning vs. Traditional Lower Blepharoplasty People often confuse “fat repositioning” with lower eyelid surgery. While not strictly medical terms, the difference is this: Fat repositioning (commonly called “undereye correction”) is performed through the conjunctiva (internal incision), with no skin removal. ...
