Improving Bumpy Under-Eye Contours Caused by Hollowing and Fat Bulging Through Under-Eye Fat Surgery

We are Soon Plus Plastic Surgery, located at Exit 4 of Sinsa Station.

These days, when an aesthetic image matters, many people are concerned about looking tired and dull. But if you are actually in good condition yet are often told that you look worn out or tired for no clear reason, it may be worth looking for the cause around the under-eye area.

What is the main point on the face that creates a sleepy and tired impression? It may be the dark circles under the eyes. The causes of dark circles can be divided into cases where under-eye fat protrudes forward and creates a dark shadow beneath it, and cases where discoloration develops in the skin itself.

Treatment options are also divided into surgical treatment or dermatologic treatment depending on the under-eye condition, and for a more accurate diagnosis, consultation with a specialist may be important.

Among the under-eye fat surgeries performed at Soon Plus, under-eye fat repositioning is the 대표적인 option.

What is under-eye fat repositioning surgery? It removes the under-eye fat and repositions the septum surrounding the fat to create a smoother under-eye area and help prevent future bulging of under-eye fat.

The surgical method for under-eye fat surgery and under-eye fat repositioning involves making an incision inside the lower eyelid conjunctiva, removing the fat, and then repositioning the septum onto the periosteum.

The stitches are not very noticeable in the eyes, and because there is less bruising and swelling, recovery is faster. However, since skin characteristics differ from patient to patient, the recovery period may vary, and Soon Plus Plastic Surgery applies swelling-reduction laser treatment or various recovery care systems to help patients recover more quickly.

Is under-eye fat removal surgery simpler than under-eye fat repositioning? Among patients who visit Soon Plus because they are concerned about bumpy under-eye skin, there are occasionally people who want under-eye fat removal surgery. Of course, under-eye fat removal surgery can also be satisfying depending on the surgeon’s know-how and technical skill, and because it is relatively simpler than under-eye fat repositioning surgery and has a shorter recovery period, it may be less burdensome. However, under-eye fat removal surgery may be suitable for people with only a small degree of fat protrusion. If only the under-eye fat is removed in a case that would otherwise call for under-eye fat repositioning, the remaining fat may become noticeable and may appear more prominent when facial expressions change. For a detailed diagnosis, the decision should be made through consultation with a plastic surgery specialist.

Among under-eye fat surgeries, under-eye fat repositioning is one of the surgeries for removing dark circles, and it may be suitable for people in their 20s to early and mid-40s who have little skin sagging, and it is an under-eye fat surgery performed without skin excision.

As time passes, aging occurs, the skin gradually loses elasticity, and it can sag. The under-eye skin also ages, causing fat to accumulate under the eyes and resulting in skin sagging. When looking at the under-eye area of patients in middle age, it is sometimes possible to see a thick under-eye area that may resemble a lump, and in such cases, lower blepharoplasty to remove sagging skin may be recommended.

Before under-eye fat accumulates more severely, Before the degree of under-eye aging becomes more advanced, through under-eye fat surgery and under-eye fat repositioning, we hope for a brighter and more vibrant under-eye effect than before.
