Hello.
This is Inique Plastic Surgery.
As people naturally get older,
fat is redistributed
and skin elasticity decreases.
These changes can appear more clearly,
especially around the eyes,
where the skin is thin.
The most noticeable change is
that fat gathers,
making the under-eye area uneven,
which can make a person look tired
or seem older than their actual age,
creating an aged appearance.
Because appearance is given relatively great importance
in today’s social atmosphere,
many middle-aged people look into
under-eye fat repositioning
in order to address these concerns.
Today, together with Inique,
which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
let’s look at some helpful tips before the procedure.

As with many medical techniques,
under-eye fat surgery has also gone through
various changes over time.
In the past, rather than understanding the eye structure,
only simple removal of under-eye fat was performed,
so fat was sometimes removed or moved too aggressively.
As a result, the risk of side effects also increased,
such as hollowness under the eyes after surgery,
a darker under-eye area,
or swelling that lasted for a long time.
For that reason, many hospitals later began to choose
under-eye fat repositioning,
which has fewer side effects.
It is still one of the most commonly used methods,
but one drawback is that the retaining ligament
where the tear trough is located can be excessively altered,
and in the process of fixing the fat,
the blood vessels that supply blood to the fat can be constricted,
which may cause swelling to last longer
or make the area below the tear trough
look bulged instead.
That is why at Inique, which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
a different type of under-eye fat surgery is being performed
after extensive research on the eye.

Rather than forcing fat repositioning,
the focus was placed on the SAC,
a thin, transparent membrane that surrounds the fat.
First, as shown in the photo,
the under-eye fat can be seen as divided into three large lumps.
These lumps are surrounded by multiple layers of thin, transparent membranes
and a slightly gel-like SAC with a soft tofu-like consistency.
Because the fat is concentrated inside this SAC,
it settles into uneven shapes depending on its position.
At Inique, which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
the SAC is finely broken down,
turning the fat that was clumped into large masses into smaller particles
and filling the space without gaps
using this principle.
Then, any remaining bulging fat
is very carefully removed only in part
with Inique’s precise technique,
so that the under-eye area is made as flat as possible.
In addition, Inique, which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
must loosen the outer fat.
The reason this process is important is that if the outer fat bulges,
the outer cheekbone and face can appear larger,
and the aegyo-sal area can look dull,
meaning its characteristic look does not appear.

Inique Plastic Surgery
received this technique from Dr. Yoo Joong-ha.
In the early 1990s in the United States,
Dr. Yoo learned laser surgery from
DR. S. BAKER and DR. L. DAVID,
who were authorities in laser surgery,
and in 1993 he opened Korea’s first
laser plastic surgery clinic.
After that, he continued developing under-eye fat surgery
by performing transconjunctival under-eye surgery using lasers.
Inique Plastic Surgery
has received much recognition for its diligent effort and research
on double-eyelid revision surgery.
As a clinic specializing in eye surgery,
it not only recognized the effect that under-eye fat has on the area above the eyes,
but also boldly opened the Youth & Young Under-Eye Fat Center at Inique
for even more perfect surgery.
The biggest advantage of the Inique-Youth & Young Under-Eye Surgery Center,
which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
is the fast recovery period.
The reason is that the procedure is performed using a laser.
Usually, hospitals use an electrocautery device called “Bovie,”
which is powered by electricity,
when performing under-eye fat surgery.
However, this tool generates a great deal of heat,
so it can cause side effects related to the contraction of surrounding muscles.
But at Inique, which is known for doing under-eye fat repositioning well,
Encore UltraPulse is used.

The Encore Ultra Pulse laser
is a CO2 device introduced in Korea,
with a cost approaching 200 million won.
Because it is such an expensive device,
its laser output is high,
so when a certain part of the fat needs to be cut,
it can be cleanly separated with just one exposure.
In addition,
it can cut only precise areas,
and because it is fast, there is almost no bleeding.
Depending on the individual,
even immediately after surgery,
you may be able to carry on with daily life.
On average, there is almost no bruising or swelling compared with the existing method.
If the area is exposed multiple times,
there can be bleeding,
swelling,
and a longer recovery period.
Therefore, when performing surgery,
it is always ideal to be exact and manipulate each area only once.
The laser that meets that principle
is this device,
Encore Ultra Pulse from the U.S. company Lumenis,
used by Inique.

Today, we looked together at
the under-eye fat surgery at Inique-Youth & Young
inside Inique Plastic Surgery.
With safe and long-lasting brightness under the eyes,
try to regain the beauty of the past.
Then, as if you had been beautiful from the very beginning,
this was Inique.
Thank you.
