Maintenance Duration of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning and Aegyo-sal Fat Grafting

To improve the contour under the eyes or add volume to the aegyo-sal area,

many people consider filler procedures and surgical methods.

Today, I will explain under-eye fat repositioning and aegyo-sal fat grafting, focusing on the aspect many people are most curious about: the “maintenance duration.”

• Maintenance Duration of Filler Procedures -

The hollow under the eyes, dark circles, or aegyo-sal area can be filled relatively simply by injecting filler to add volume.

However, because filler is a substance that is gradually absorbed by the body,

there is a limit to how long it lasts.

In the case of hyaluronic acid filler, which is the most commonly used type, the maintenance period can be as short as 6 months and as long as about 1 year. Softer fillers tend to have a shorter maintenance period.

• Maintenance Duration of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning -

Under-eye fat repositioning is not simply a procedure that adds volume.

Rather than just removing existing protruding or sagging under-eye fat, it is a surgery that moves the fat to the tear trough area in the form of a flap and secures it there.

In other words, instead of adding a new substance, this method improves the structure by repositioning one’s own fat.

Because the repositioned fat moves with blood vessels inside the fat flap, there is no process of the fat being absorbed by the body. It is a surgery that improves the structure under the eyes themselves and helps prevent aging.

• Maintenance Duration of Aegyo-sal Fat Grafting -

Aegyo-sal fat grafting is a surgery that harvests one’s own fat and grafts it into the aegyo-sal area.

Among the transplanted fat, the fat that successfully engrafts is maintained semi-permanently,

and even as time passes, the volume does not significantly decrease.

• Uses one’s own fat

• Engrafted fat is maintained semi-permanently

• Natural-looking volume

Therefore, this method is suitable for those who want a longer maintenance period and a natural look rather than a short-term effect.

Summary of maintenance duration

• Filler procedure: 6 months to 1 year

• Under-eye fat repositioning: Long-term maintenance possible

• Aegyo-sal fat grafting: Semi-permanent maintenance if engrafted

Since the under-eye area and aegyo-sal area have a major impact on facial impression, it is important to consider not only convenience but also maintenance duration and whether the procedure fundamentally improves the area.
