Under-eye fat repositioning

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery is a procedure that moves protruding fat to sunken areas to make them flat and add volume to hollow areas.

Eye surgery can be broadly divided into upper eyelid and lower eyelid surgery.

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery can be divided into non-incisional and incisional methods depending on how the fat is handled.

If an incision is made through the lower eyelid approach to secure an opening, access to the under-eye fat becomes easier, making it possible to fundamentally address bulging under-eye fat.

Patient reference

A female patient in her 30s, one month after surgery.

Through lower eyelid incision surgery, sagging skin was removed, protruding fat was repositioned, and volume was added to the sunken area.

The midface muscles were pulled up and fixed after lifting, then sutured.

Method for a successful surgery

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery improves the under-eye area by moving and repositioning the under-eye fat.

For a successful surgery, there are several things to follow.

1. Do not remove protruding fat carelessly.

If lower eyelid fat is removed, fat from the upper eyelid area may slide downward, causing the bulging to recur and the upper eyelid area to become hollow.

Therefore, our specialty technique at Ahn Sungmin Plastic Surgery is to move your own fat to the sunken area and add volume.

2. Securely fix the area by reinforcing the septum so that recurrence does not occur.

To prevent the eyelid from turning outward after surgery, we take a conservative approach and securely fix the area through septum reinforcement so that recurrence does not occur.

The biggest complication of lower eyelid surgery is ectropion. If strong contraction occurs due to post-operative bleeding or other reasons, temporary ectropion may occur. For a satisfactory result, we ask that you take care to manage your blood pressure and maintain your overall health.

3. The importance of lifting the midface muscles.

During lower eyelid surgery, the midface muscles are pulled and fixed to prevent turning outward and to achieve a lifting effect.

(The midface muscles refer to the muscles in the middle third of the face. They are the core muscles of facial expression and an important area that affects sagging.)

4. Be sure to preserve the aegyo-sal.

If the aegyo-sal is removed, the area may look flat and awkward.

An incision is made just below the eyelashes to minimize scarring and preserve the aegyo-sal.

The aegyo-sal is not newly created; rather, the hidden aegyo muscle is revealed through under-eye fat repositioning surgery.

1. An incision is made just below the eyelashes.

2. After securing the incision opening, the under-eye fat is repositioned and orbital septum reinforcement is performed.

3. The sagging skin is removed.

4. The midface muscles are pulled and fixed to the periosteum.

5. The incision is sutured.

The stitches are removed 7 days after surgery. After stitch removal, the major swelling goes down, and the remaining swelling gradually improves over the course of one month.

The recovery speed of swelling and bruising varies by patient. Cold compresses are better the more often they are applied. Cold compresses help reduce heat and are effective for swelling.

After cold compresses, warm compresses help circulation and aid recovery.

Precautions before lower eyelid surgery

As with all surgeries, following the post-operative precautions well helps support a stable surgery and recovery.

The most important aspect before lower eyelid surgery is blood pressure management.

Because blood pressure is directly related to bleeding, if your blood pressure is above the normal range on the day of surgery, the procedure should be postponed.

If blood pressure is high, bleeding may occur and can lead to secondary bleeding after surgery.

If bleeding causes severe bruising, recovery may be delayed.

If your blood pressure is high, it is advisable to take medication as directed by an internal medicine specialist and postpone the surgery.

Cost of lower eyelid surgery

The cost of lower eyelid surgery varies depending on the surgical method and whether it is a revision surgery.
