If the area under your eyes is uneven or sunken,
and your dark circles look especially severe,
you may want to consider lower eyelid fat repositioning.
We’ll explain the surgical method and what kind of results you can expect
at Apgujeong Plastic Surgery!

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a surgery that improves the
contours beneath the eyes. By correcting under-eye bulging or hollowness,
it can help improve a tired-looking appearance.

So why does fat under the eyes appear bulging?
Let’s look at the cause.
First, when aging begins in the eyelids,
the septum around the orbital fat starts to weaken,
which causes the skin and muscles to loosen.
As a result, the fat around the eyelids protrudes,
making the under-eye area look swollen.
This can create a tired or older-looking impression.

In such cases, lower eyelid fat repositioning can smooth out the
bulging under-eye area and improve the face to look more refreshed.
This procedure is performed by making an incision along the conjunctiva,
accessing the orbital fat, removing excess fat from areas where there is too much,
and moving the remaining fat to the sunken area below,
thereby smoothing the area around the eyes.

At Apgujeong Plastic Surgery, the cases in which lower eyelid fat repositioning is considered successful are explained in three types.
First, if there is a large amount of fat under the eyes that makes them look bulging,
and if dark circles are caused by adhesion of the ligament tissue under the eyes,
you can expect noticeable results from this procedure.
Also, even if you are in your 20s or 30s,
if the under-eye area looks dark,
you may want to consider this surgery to improve your appearance.
If there is not enough fat under the eyes,
a small amount of fat can be harvested from the thigh or abdomen and then grafted
for better results.

There are several reasons why the under-eye area can become darker even at a young age.
In particular, if you had allergic rhinitis when you were young,
or if you have a habit of rubbing your eyelids often,
pigmentation may develop in the eyelids,
or aging may be accelerated more quickly,
which can make the under-eye area look darker.
In such cases, Apgujeong Plastic Surgery can help brighten the dark under-eye area
through lower eyelid fat repositioning.
