Many people are concerned about under-eye areas that look uneven and dark.

Especially these days, having a bright appearance and a favorable image can be an advantage in social activities, so many people consider various procedures to improve the dull-looking under-eye area that has been bothering them.

There are many types of procedures for improving uneven, dark under-eye areas caused by under-eye fat.

Depending on the amount of protruding fat and the condition of the skin, suitable surgical methods include under-eye fat removal, which is appropriate when the degree of protrusion is relatively mild, as well as under-eye fat repositioning, lower blepharoplasty, and mini lower blepharoplasty.

Among the various under-eye surgeries, under-eye fat repositioning is an improvement option that can be chosen by people of many different age groups.

Under-eye fat repositioning removes the under-eye fat and re-secures the septum surrounding the fat, helping to improve uneven, dull under-eye areas so they look brighter and smoother.

There are important points to check when considering under-eye fat repositioning.

The skin under the eyes is thin and contains many blood vessels, so the procedure must be performed with even greater care and precision.

Therefore, under-eye fat repositioning should be carried out through the proper process using a one-on-one customized design and treatment plan.

At the under-eye fat repositioning clinic in Gangnam/Sinsa, the under-eye fat is removed and the septum surrounding the fat is repositioned to achieve more effective results and help prevent the under-eye fat from protruding again later.

The procedure involves making an incision in the conjunctiva on the inside of the eye, removing and repositioning the fat, and repositioning the septum onto the periosteum.

The stitches are not noticeable from the outside after surgery, and because bruising and swelling are minimal, patients can return to their daily lives quickly.

Through a thorough plan, ongoing communication between patients and medical staff, and various recovery-care systems such as swelling laser treatment, we help patients recover quickly.

Because there are various types of under-eye surgery, patients may have difficulty deciding which surgical method is most suitable for them individually.

For patients under 40 who have a relatively noticeable amount of protruding under-eye fat but do not have significant skin laxity, under-eye fat repositioning may be recommended.

If the amount of under-eye fat is small, under-eye fat removal may be recommended.

If aging has caused laxity in the under-eye skin and skin excision is necessary, lower blepharoplasty or mini lower blepharoplasty may be recommended.

However, an accurate diagnosis may vary depending on the patient's under-eye skin and the amount of fat, so a thorough consultation with a qualified medical professional is necessary.
