Hello. We are Woori Plastic Surgery.
Are you considering lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery because of a tired-looking impression, dull dark circles, or the feeling that the area under the eyes is bulging?
These days, many people in their 20s and 30s are also getting lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery. If the area under the eyes has both protrusion and hollowness, you can expect a clearer appearance with a single procedure. Today, let’s take a comprehensive look at care after lower eyelid fat repositioning as well.
Lower eyelid fat repositioning
This is a procedure that smooths the area by repositioning the protruding fat under the eyes. It helps fill in hollowness under the eyes and improve dark circles and a tired appearance. The incision is made through the inner conjunctiva, so there is no visible external scar.
Cases where the effect is limited
There are cases where the results are still unsatisfying even after lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery. It is difficult to make major improvements to wrinkles on the skin surface, so the effect may be limited if there are many wrinkles in the skin under the eyes itself. In addition, the effect may also be limited when there are Indian folds or when the under-eye bony structure itself is deeply sunken. Dark circles are difficult to improve completely with fat repositioning alone.
■ When there are many wrinkles in the skin under the eyes itself
Fat repositioning has difficulty significantly improving wrinkles on the skin surface
■ When there are Indian folds (a deep groove below the front cheekbone)
Because this area is outside the scope of surgery, the results may be less than expected
■ When dark circles are caused by pigmentation or muscle color
Complete improvement is difficult with fat repositioning alone
■ When the under-eye bony structure itself is deeply sunken
In this case, fat grafting or additional procedures are often needed
Cases where the effect is high
On the other hand, there are cases where lower eyelid fat repositioning is highly effective. People whose under-eye area is bulging, people with hollowness directly below the fat, people who want a more defined eye shape, and people whose dark circles are caused by fat protrusion can often expect significant results even from a relatively simple procedure.
For a result you won’t regret
Ultimately, what matters most is accurately understanding your own under-eye concerns. Depending on whether the issue is simply fat, sagging skin, or a structural problem, the surgical method or supplementary treatment may differ. Even a procedure that seems simple can lead to a result you won’t regret when it is planned and performed with attention to detail.
If your under-eye concerns have been a long-term source of stress, or if you are wondering about life after lower eyelid fat repositioning, we recommend consulting a specialist to find the solution that best fits your face.
