Drawbacks of Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning—and Why Combining It with Peach Lifting Can Help!

안녕하세요.

I perform many lower eyelid fat repositioning surgeries. There is one small, lesser-known characteristic of lower eyelid fat repositioning.

Of course, assuming the surgery has been performed successfully, this change is actually closer to a benefit. However, some patients may perceive a slight change in their overall impression differently after surgery.

📍 Effects of Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a procedure that softens the lower eyelid hollow while lifting the tissues beneath the eyes "forward and upward."

When the surgery is successful, it can improve the area beneath the eyes more fundamentally. The lower eyelid hollow may become less noticeable, and dark circles may also appear shorter.

These changes can help create a more youthful overall impression.

📍 Changes That May Appear After Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

However, the area beneath the eyes is naturally connected to the upper cheek.

As a result, people whose midface is naturally on the longer side may feel that their midface looks slightly longer after lower eyelid fat repositioning.

This does not mean the surgery was performed incorrectly. Rather, it is a visual change that occurs as the boundary of the lower eyelid hollow moves upward.

As shown in the illustration, when the lower eyelid boundary moves upward, the midface may appear relatively longer.

So what can be done?

A deep lower eyelid hollow and pronounced fat protrusion can create a tired and aged appearance, but there is no need to give up on surgery for this reason alone.

In such cases, one procedure that may be considered in combination is Peach Lifting.

📍 Why Peach Lifting May Help

Peach Lifting helps lift the midface vertically, making it appear shorter.

That is why it is one of the procedures that pairs particularly well with lower eyelid fat repositioning.

In fact, quite a few patients at our clinic undergo both procedures together.

As we age, the midface actually sags downward and becomes longer. Peach Lifting may help improve these changes.

While lower eyelid fat repositioning improves the area beneath the eyes, Peach Lifting improves the upper cheek and midface together, helping create a more natural and harmonious result.

📍 The Synergy Between Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning and Peach Lifting

So far, we have looked at the changes in the midface that some patients may experience after lower eyelid fat repositioning, as well as ways to address them.

Aging does not occur in just one area; it progresses gradually across the entire face.

Therefore, rather than improving only one area, considering the overall balance and harmony of the face can lead to a more natural and satisfying result.

If you are considering lower eyelid fat repositioning or lower blepharoplasty, considering Peach Lifting along with it may also be a good option.

By improving not only the area beneath the eyes but also the upper cheek and midface, you may be able to achieve a more satisfying change.

Thank you.
