Hello, this is AINIQUE.

Even though you are still young,

if the area under your eyes looks darker and duller than before,

making you seem older and less vibrant,

what should you do?

In such cases, it may be caused by sagging under-eye fat

or dark circles,

and no matter how much makeup you apply

or how brightly you cover the area with concealer,

there will still be something unsatisfactory.

The more you look in the mirror,

the more it stands out on your face,

and the thought that skin aging seems to be starting early

can be upsetting and worrying,

leading you to look for a solution.

And the option many people choose for a clear change

is under-eye fat repositioning.

This procedure is usually used to correct sagging caused by

aging under-eye skin as people get older,

but it can also be performed by people who are not necessarily older

if they have under-eye concerns or congenital sagging symptoms.

The information AINIQUE is sharing today

covers the surgical method and principles, as well as care methods

that help bruising after under-eye fat repositioning go down quickly.

Under-eye fat repositioning is an option that can be tried

to improve dark circles caused by protruding fat or shadowing.

However, AINIQUE's under-eye procedure does not simply mean removing fat;

it is approached from a different perspective.

It opens the fat capsule, or fat pouch, called the SAC,

separates the fat lumps,

and then spreads them out evenly.

To explain it more simply,

AINIQUE's under-eye procedure is not about surgically removing fat

to smooth the under-eye area,

but rather about solving under-eye concerns by using the patient's own existing fat

from the perspective of 'fat repositioning.'

As a result, since excessive fat is not removed,

damage can be reduced while still allowing for natural

and smooth results.

AINIQUE places importance on surgical principles that take anatomical structures into account

to reduce bruising, swelling, and tissue damage

that may occur after surgery.

First, a surgical method that minimizes bleeding

and preservation of the retaining ligaments.

Under the eyes, microvessels, retaining ligaments,

and structures such as the orbital septum are distributed in a complex manner.

Reducing unnecessary dissection,

minimizing tissue damage,

and carefully controlling bleeding points

can help lower the likelihood of bruising and swelling.

In addition, preserving the retaining ligaments without

forcing damage to them is an important factor in

maintaining post-surgical tissue stability and a natural under-eye line.

Second, the procedure is performed using Encore laser.

Encore laser can help control bleeding from microvessels more precisely

while relatively reducing thermal damage to surrounding tissue

during tissue incision and coagulation.

In particular, because coagulation and incision can be performed at the same time,

it is advantageous in reducing bleeding during surgery,

which may help lessen the burden of bruising and recovery time.

Third, it is a systematic care approach that includes post-surgery care as well.

Because the skin under the eyes is thin

and the area has abundant blood flow,

managing early swelling and inflammatory reactions after surgery

is very important.

At AINIQUE, we provide detailed care tailored to the recovery stage,

including cold compresses, daily life guidance, and precautionary instructions,

to help stabilize tissue and support faster recovery.

If you want bruising and swelling after under-eye fat repositioning to subside quickly

and settle stably,

you also need to follow the post-surgery precautions well.

The precautions are as follows.

First, you may wear makeup or contact lenses only after 7 days following surgery.

Second, avoid rubbing or squeezing the eyes strongly, as this can irritate them.

Third, refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.

While following the precautions,

to allow the bruising after under-eye fat repositioning and the surgical area

to settle stably,

you should also manage it with home care after surgery.

The home care guidance provided by AINIQUE is as follows.

Right after surgery, you can manage swelling and bruising after under-eye fat repositioning

with cold compresses.

After 3 days have passed since the surgery,

switch to warm compresses at a moderately warm temperature,

not too hot,

and continue managing swelling and bruising.

So far, together with AINIQUE,

we have covered everything from the under-eye surgery method

to care methods that can help reduce bruising and swelling after under-eye fat repositioning quickly.
