Increasingly prominent under-eye bags made Sophia feel that her face looked constantly tired and older than her actual age, despite maintaining a consistent skincare routine. After a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Nguyen Van Huyen (Dr. Henry Nguyen) at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi, she decided to undergo lower blepharoplasty to remove excess lower eyelid fat and rejuvenate the eye area.

Although she slept well and carefully cared for her skin, Sophia continued to struggle with noticeable lower eyelid fat protrusion, which caused her face to appear tired and lacking in vitality. Every time she looked in the mirror or took photographs, she felt that her eyes made her appear older than her actual age.
She had tried various eye care treatments, but the under-eye bags showed little improvement. After researching different aesthetic options, Sophia decided to visit Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi, for a consultation with a specialist.
As one of Vietnam’s leading aesthetic hospitals, trusted by domestic patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients alike, Kangnam is recognized for its modern medical facilities, standardized treatment protocols, and experienced surgeons specializing in cosmetic eyelid procedures.
During the consultation, Dr. Nguyen Van Huyen (Dr. Henry Nguyen), Head of the Korean Aesthetic Surgery Department at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi, personally evaluated Sophia’s lower eyelids.
The examination showed that the primary cause of her aged appearance was prominent lower eyelid fat pads, which created visible under-eye bags and gave the eye area a heavy appearance.
After assessing the degree of age-related changes and discussing Sophia’s aesthetic goals, Dr. Henry Nguyen recommended lower blepharoplasty to remove the excess fat while restoring a smoother, more natural contour to the lower eyelids.
According to Dr. Henry Nguyen, the objective of the procedure was not only to eliminate the under-eye bags but also to create a younger, more harmonious appearance while avoiding overcorrection that could produce an unnatural result.
Immediately after surgery, Sophia experienced mild swelling of the lower eyelids, which is a normal postoperative response.
The Kangnam nursing team provided detailed instructions regarding wound care, eye hygiene, and scheduled follow-up visits to support her recovery.
Approximately one week after surgery, the swelling had decreased significantly, and the surgical incisions were healing well.
Within a relatively short recovery period, the under-eye bags had become barely noticeable. The lower eyelids appeared smoother and better contoured, while her eyes looked brighter, more expressive, and more refreshed, contributing to a noticeably younger and healthier overall facial appearance.
According to Sophia, what pleased her most was the natural-looking result. Her family and friends commented that she looked brighter and more refreshed, but few realized she had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Lower blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently requested eye rejuvenation procedures at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi, for patients seeking to improve under-eye bags, skin laxity, and other visible signs of aging around the eyes.
One of Kangnam’s distinguishing strengths is its personalized treatment approach. Every patient is evaluated directly by a specialist, who develops an individualized surgical plan based on the patient’s eyelid anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Led by experienced surgeons such as Dr. Nguyen Van Huyen (Dr. Henry Nguyen), together with modern operating facilities, standardized sterile surgical protocols, advanced medical equipment, and comprehensive postoperative care, Kangnam has become a trusted destination for domestic patients, overseas Vietnamese, and international patients seeking cosmetic eyelid surgery.
If you are experiencing prominent under-eye bags, puffiness of the lower eyelids, or simply wish to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance, a consultation with Dr. Henry Nguyen and the specialist team at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi, can help determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual condition.
Important Note: Aesthetic outcomes vary depending on each patient’s anatomy, degree of aging, biological healing response, and adherence to postoperative care instructions.
