Will eyelid liposuction cause looseness? What should I do if my eyelids become loose after liposuction?

Under normal circumstances, eyelid liposuction will not cause sagging, but it cannot be ruled out that the skin of some older people may indeed become sagging after the operation. At this time, solutions should be taken according to the specific situation.

Will liposuction cause loose eyelids?

Generally not.

If you only perform liposuction on the upper eyelids, as long as the patient is not too old, the skin will not sag. However, in order to ensure the beauty of the surgery, the surgeon will generally treat the orbicularis oculi muscle appropriately according to the degree of fat accumulation.

What to do if your eyelids become loose after liposuction

For some older people, it is recommended to remove excess skin and rejuvenate the eyes, and different situations require specific plans. In addition, excessive liposuction may also cause loose eyelids. In this case, the degree of looseness should be determined first. If the eyelids are only slightly loose, you can choose to use eye creams, eye masks, etc. for a long time to tighten them, or you can tighten them through long-term and correct massage methods. Of course, if the eyelids are already severely loose, it is recommended to go to a professional hospital for double eyelid repair.

How is eyelid liposuction performed?

Eyelid liposuction is to make a small incision of 2-3 mm in the epidermis of the upper eyelid, place a needle tip like a syringe needle in the fat layer, and suck out all the excess and unnecessary fat through negative pressure suction. It is mainly suitable for people with thick eyelid fat. This method is often used when doing Korean three-point double eyelid surgery, because the incision of Korean three-point double eyelid surgery is too small to remove too much fat. Combined double eyelid liposuction can make the effect of Korean three-point double eyelid surgery better. In addition, for women who already have double eyelids but have more fat on the upper eyelid, this surgery can also be performed alone.
