Does Under-Eye Dark Circle Surgery Vary by Procedure Type?

Hello. We are Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, pursuing natural and beautiful changes.

Our skin varies in thickness depending on the area.

A representative example of thick skin would be the buttocks.

The buttocks are not only an area where the skin is thick, but also one where the subcutaneous fat beneath the skin is thick.

Then, if we were to choose one area with thin and sensitive skin, which part would it be?

A representative area with thin skin is the eye area.

The skin around the eyes is highly sensitive and is constantly blinking, so it is one of the areas that can wrinkle easily and show signs of aging.

When the tissue around the eyes loses elasticity, it can also make a person look especially older.

In particular, it can be the cause of the dark under-eye area that many people say is a complex.

Today, we will explain how improvement methods vary depending on the type of dark circles, along with under-eye dark circle plastic surgery.

What Causes Under-Eye Dark Circles?

✅ Pigmentation type

✅ Under-eye hollow type

✅ Fat bulging type

There are broadly three main causes of under-eye dark circles.

First, the cause many people know is pigmentation.

This can occur when the skin under the eyes is thin, tiny blood vessels are developed, or the skin tone itself is dark.

In the case of pigmentation type, improvement is possible through laser treatment, along with relieving fatigue.

Second is the under-eye hollow type.

A groove under the eyes that becomes deeper beneath the eyeball and casts a shadow is a representative cause of dark circles.

In this case, it is better to restore volume to the groove.

Improvement is also possible through under-eye dark circle plastic surgery such as fillers, fat grafting, or under-eye fat repositioning.

Lastly, even when fat is bulging outward, the area below the protrusion can appear sunken, causing this kind of problem.

In this case, you can choose under-eye dark circle plastic surgery depending on the degree of fat bulging.

What Causes Under-Eye Fat Bulging?

Among the causes of dark circles mentioned above, under-eye fat bulging can be improved into a brighter eye area through under-eye dark circle plastic surgery.

The reasons why under-eye fat bulges severely can be divided into cases where there is a congenital lack of bone supporting the fat, causing it to protrude beneath the eyes, or cases where, over time, the supporting strength weakens and the fat flows out and bulges.

The degree of severity also differs depending on age, so if needed, lower blepharoplasty can be performed together to improve sagging skin as well.

What Is Mary’s Under-Eye Dark Circle Plastic Surgery?

So how does our clinic help with under-eye dark circle plastic surgery?

At our clinic, excess under-eye fat is moved and repositioned into the sunken tear trough, and the septum supporting the fat is also strengthened.

As the uneven and protruding under-eye fat is corrected, a brighter complexion can be expected.

This type of under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure in which there is a concern that the fat may protrude again over time.

Therefore, securing the fat while strengthening the septum is the key to maintaining the effect for a long period.

Also, after under-eye fat repositioning, there are sometimes cases where the boundary with the aegyo-sal is no longer visible.

At our clinic, we reposition the fat in a way that preserves the under-eye aegyo-sal, so a naturally youthful effect can be expected.

With patient-specific 1:1 customized design

The chief director of Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has been helping patients with skin-tailored surgeries and procedures based on diverse surgical experience and anatomical knowledge.

In particular, under-eye fat repositioning requires a procedure selected after analyzing the under-eye fat, wrinkles, the amount and location of fat around the eyes, muscles, and more from multiple angles.

At our clinic, through careful analysis, we can help with combined procedures such as lower blepharoplasty, upper blepharoplasty, and ptosis correction as needed. For more detailed information, you can visit the clinic and receive a consultation about the condition of your eye area.
