Date posted: 01-07-2026 | Last updated : 07-07-2026

At the age of 72, Ms. Giulia, an American citizen currently living in Vietnam, experienced prominent under-eye bags, severely sagging lower eyelid skin, and visible wrinkles on the forehead, crow’s feet, and smile lines caused by aging. To regain a brighter, more refreshed appearance and reduce the tired look on her face, she decided to undergo lower blepharoplasty combined with Botox rejuvenation at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital Hanoi. The minor surgical procedure was performed directly by Dr. Daniel Nguyễn, Deputy Head of the Korean Aesthetic Department.

I – Facial Concerns Before the Procedure

Through a clinical examination, Dr. Daniel Nguyễn identified that Ms. Giulia’s facial structure showed signs of advanced aging:

  • Lower eye area: The under-eye bags were noticeably enlarged due to fat accumulation, combined with loose, sagging skin. This made her overall face appear constantly tired and aged.
  • Dynamic and static wrinkle areas: Due to collagen depletion, deep layered wrinkles appeared on the forehead; crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes became more pronounced with facial expressions; and the nasolabial folds were clearly visible, making the face appear harsher and more severely aged.

The surgeon directly evaluates facial sagging and marks the treatment areas before performing facial rejuvenation surgery.

II – Doctor’s Recommended Treatment Plan and Customized Procedure

With extensive experience, a deep understanding of customer psychology, and a refined aesthetic sense, Dr. Daniel Nguyễn, Deputy Head of the Korean Aesthetic Department at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital Hanoi, carefully analyzed Ms. Giulia’s facial muscle structure. Dr. Daniel Nguyễn determined that Ms. Giulia’s case required lower eyelid skin removal combined with Botox injections around the mouth area to help create a more youthful facial appearance.

  • Lower blepharoplasty: The doctor created an ultra-fine incision close to the lower lash line. Through this incision, long-standing excess fat deposits were removed, while redundant and sagging skin was thoroughly excised. Finally, the doctor closed the incision with specialized cosmetic sutures to ensure the stitch line was well concealed, minimizing visible scarring and preventing lower eyelid eversion.
  • Botox rejuvenation injections — forehead, crow’s feet, and smile lines: The doctor carefully calculated the dosage and injected Botox precisely into the forehead, outer eye corners, and smile line areas. The active ingredient helps inhibit nerve signal transmission, relaxing overactive muscles and quickly smoothing dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a softer and smoother skin surface.

As the customer was 72 years old, Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital carried out a strict general health screening process before the procedure, including blood pressure measurement, blood tests, and medication reaction testing. The minor surgery was performed in a sterile environment with the support of local anesthesia technology, helping the customer remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the process.

III – Results After the Procedure at Kangnam Hanoi

After the recovery period and the 7-day follow-up appointment, Ms. Giulia’s appearance showed a noticeable transformation:

  • Lower eye area: The enlarged fat bags and sagging skin were completely removed, leaving the under-eye area smoother and flatter. Her eyes appeared brighter, more expressive, and more youthful.
  • Wrinkles: The layered forehead wrinkles and deep crow’s feet around the outer eye corners were smoothed.
  • Smile line area: The smile lines were naturally improved, reducing their deep hollow appearance and helping the overall facial muscles look softer and more refined, without stiffness when smiling or communicating.

The results, achieved according to Dr. Daniel Nguyễn’s precise treatment plan, helped Ms. Giulia eliminate her previously tired and aged appearance, regain her confidence, and achieve a more youthful look that remains harmonious with her natural facial structure.
