Why No Skin Incision?
No external cut.
No external cut.
Corrected from within.
Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty
uses an incision inside the eyelid — through the conjunctiva only.
-
No Visible Scarring
No external incision means absolutely no visible scar.
-
Preserved Eye Shape
Maintains your natural eye contour and reduces risk of ectropion.
-
Faster Recovery
Return to daily activities in as few as 3–4 days.
Reposition + Graft, Not Just Remove
Under-eye fat is not removed.
Under-eye fat is not removed.
It is precisely redesigned.
Instead of simply removing fat, LaPrin repositions protruding fat and supplements hollow areas with fat grafting — creating a seamless contour from the lower eyelid to the cheekbone.
Hollow Tear Trough
Fat grafting fills the sunken area beneath the eye bags, improving midface balance.
Bone Structure Correction
Deep shadows caused by underlying bone structure are addressed in the surgical design.
UltraClear Laser Coring
Skin is not cut.
Skin is not cut.
It is tightened with laser.
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty alone may not fully address fine wrinkles and skin laxity.
Combining fat correction with laser skin tightening in a single session is the core of the LaPrin
protocol.

STEP BY STEP
How the Surgery Works
From consultation to recovery — see the full transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty process at a glance.
1
1-on-1 Consultation & Surgical Design
Dr. Park personally analyzes your under-eye fat volume, skin thickness, and bone structure. A customized surgical plan and expected outcomes are discussed in detail.
Duration: approx. 30 min
2
Sedation & Conjunctival Incision
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with IV sedation for a pain-free experience. A minimal incision is made through the inner conjunctiva — no external skin incision whatsoever.
3
Fat Repositioning + Fat Grafting
Protruding under-eye fat is precisely repositioned into hollow areas. When additional volume is needed at the lower eyelid-to-cheekbone junction, autologous fat grafting is performed for a seamless contour.
Vesalius precision hemostasis system applied
4
UltraClear Laser Skin Tightening
The UltraClear 2910nm Cold Ablation laser tightens under-eye skin and stimulates deep collagen remodeling. Fine wrinkles and skin elasticity are improved in the same session.
Surgery Complete & Recovery Guidance
No suture removal required. You can go home the same day. Personalized aftercare instructions and a follow-up schedule are provided.
Total procedure time: approx. 1 hour

Why Scarless Lower Blepharoplasty?
A side-by-side comparison of our scarless approach (transconjunctival + laser + Vesalius) vs. traditional skin-incision blepharoplasty.
| Category | Scarless Blepharoplasty (Transconjunctival + Laser + Vesalius) | Traditional Skin-Incision Blepharoplasty |
|---|---|---|
| Incision & Scarring | Inner eyelid incision; virtually no visible scar. | Skin incision below lash line; fine scar possible. |
| Bruising & Swelling | Vesalius bipolar hemostasis minimizes bleeding, bruising, and swelling. | Standard electrocautery; typically more bruising and swelling. |
| Eye Shape Change | No skin cutting reduces risk of lower eyelid retraction (ectropion). | Higher relative risk of lower lid distortion or ectropion. |
| Dark Circles & Hollowness | Fat repositioning + laser addresses volume, wrinkles, and tone simultaneously. | Primarily fat removal + skin excision; hollowness or visible edges may remain. |
| Recovery Time | Bruising/swelling 3–7 days; laser redness resolves in 3–5 days. | Swelling/bruising 10–14+ days; scar maturation takes weeks. |

REAL REVIEWS
What Our Patients Say
Real feedback from patients who had transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty at LaPrin Clinic.
I had puffy eye bags and dark circles that fillers only made worse. After the transconjunctival surgery, the bruising was surprisingly minimal — I could cover it with makeup by day 5. Nobody can tell I had anything done because my eye shape is exactly the same.
Female, 30s · Office Worker
Fat Repositioning + UltraClear
Another clinic recommended a skin-incision approach, but I was worried about ectropion risk. At LaPrin, Dr. Park used the transconjunctival method. The bruising was less than expected, and I was back to normal in about a week. The hollow area under my eyes was filled so my whole face looks brighter.
Female, 40s · Business Owner
Fat Repositioning + Fat Grafting
As a man, my biggest concern was looking "done." There's absolutely no visible scar — I went back to work on day 3 and no one noticed. The tired look under my eyes is completely gone. Dr. Park's thorough explanation during consultation really built my confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
The procedure takes approximately one hour under local anesthesia with IV sedation.
While individual recovery varies, most patients see significant reduction in swelling within one week and can return to daily activities. Our Vesalius precision hemostasis system minimizes bruising and swelling.
Structural causes such as fat protrusion and hollowness are effectively corrected. However, pigmentation or vascular discoloration may require additional treatment.
The transconjunctival approach preserves the natural eye shape since no external skin is cut. This significantly reduces the risk of lower eyelid distortion (ectropion).
Transconjunctival blepharoplasty uses an incision inside the eyelid, leaving virtually no visible scar and lowering the risk of eyelid distortion. Recovery is 3–7 days compared to 10–14+ days for traditional transcutaneous (skin incision) blepharoplasty.
Under-eye fat repositioning redistributes protruding fat pads to fill hollow areas, creating a smooth contour from the lower eyelid to the cheekbone. Unlike simple fat removal, this approach prevents a sunken appearance and delivers long-lasting, natural results.
Yes. LaPrin Clinic offers English-language consultations, airport pickup coordination, and post-operative follow-up via video call for international patients visiting Seoul for surgery. We recommend staying in Seoul for 5–7 days after the procedure.
The cost varies depending on your under-eye condition, whether fat grafting is included, and the scope of UltraClear laser treatment. An accurate quote is provided after an in-person consultation where your under-eye structure is fully assessed. LaPrin Clinic does not recommend unnecessary procedures and provides transparent pricing during consultation.
Under-eye fat repositioning is a structural correction, so results are semi-permanent. While natural aging may cause gradual skin changes over time, the collagen remodeling effect from the UltraClear laser also lasts for several years.
As with any surgery, individual side effects are possible. Transconjunctival blepharoplasty may involve temporary bruising, swelling, and mild eye redness, which typically resolve within 1–2 weeks. Because no external skin is cut, the risk of ectropion (lower eyelid retraction) is very low. Thorough pre-operative consultation and precise surgical planning minimize complications.
With precise diagnosis and surgical planning, revision is rarely necessary. However, patients who had excessive fat removal at another clinic may need corrective fat grafting to address a sunken appearance. LaPrin Clinic has extensive experience with revision cases.
Under-eye fat bulging and dark circles can appear as early as your 20s depending on bone structure — it is not solely an aging issue. The ideal time for surgery is when the concern begins to bother you. We treat patients across a wide age range, from their 20s through their 60s.
