Is revision surgery for under-eye fat repositioning possible?

Patients often say, "I was told revision surgery for under-eye fat repositioning is impossible."

It depends on the existing surgical method and the degree of damage, but revision surgery is possible.

In the case of under-eye fat repositioning surgery, fat is usually removed through a transconjunctival incision, or fat is repositioned within the range where visibility is secured through a conjunctival incision. This method is applied to younger patients with mild under-eye sagging or almost no skin laxity. It is not a wrong method, but it is not a fundamental solution.

It has the advantage of being relatively simpler than under-eye fat repositioning through a lower blepharoplasty incision, but the chance of recurrence is very high.

Therefore, saying that revision surgery for under-eye fat repositioning is impossible means it is impossible without an incision.

It would be different if the previous surgery were known precisely, but if the surgery is approached again through the conjunctiva without any information at all, the surgical range is still limited as before.

This is because once the fat layer starts to sag, it exists in a deeper layer that is difficult to access through a conjunctival incision.

Importance of a Lower Blepharoplasty Incision in Revision Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Surgery

When under-eye fat sagging is severe, a sufficient incision window must be secured in order to access the desired fat layer.

In the second photo, only when enough incision window is secured through incision number 1 is it possible to access the desired depth of fat layer in number 2.

In revision surgery, the fat may have already been removed or damaged, and sometimes foreign materials such as fillers or clumped fat after fat grafting may be present.

Foreign materials are often clumped together or entangled with surrounding tissues, so the surgery can be more complicated than expected.

Surgical Method and Recovery Process for the Lower Blepharoplasty Incision Site

1. Make an incision just below the eyelashes.

2. After securing the incision window through the incision, reposition the under-eye fat and perform orbital septum reinforcement.

3. Remove the sagging skin.

4. Pull up the midface muscle and fix it to the periosteum.

5. Suture the incision site.

Importance of Midface Muscle Lifting

The midface muscle refers to the muscles of the middle face area. It is the central muscle group of the face and an important area that affects sagging.

During lower blepharoplasty, pulling up the midface muscle and fixing it to the periosteum helps prevent ectropion and can provide a sufficient lifting effect.
