Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

Today, we’ll take a look at under-eye fat repositioning.

Many people think that the “under-eye fat repositioning” procedure is a surgery performed when the area under the eyes looks bulgy due to under-eye fat.

That is not entirely wrong, but to explain it more precisely,

it can be considered a very effective procedure when there is almost no skin sagging or wrinkles, but the under-eye fat is protruding.

Some people also wonder how it differs from lower blepharoplasty.

It may be easier to understand if you think of lower blepharoplasty as a broader category that includes under-eye fat repositioning.

If the problem is under-eye wrinkles or sagging under the eyes, under-eye fat repositioning is not the right procedure.

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure in which the inner conjunctiva of the eye is incised without making a skin incision,

some of the protruding fat is removed, and then moved to the sunken area.

Many people compare it with lower blepharoplasty, but under-eye fat repositioning is relatively simple and has a shorter recovery period.

Also, because the skin is not incised, there is no visible scar.

To emphasize again, this procedure is effective when the under-eye area is only bulging and there are almost no wrinkles.

In other words, if there are no under-eye wrinkles but the under-eye area is bulging and makes you look a bit older,

under-eye fat repositioning can produce very good results, and in many cases, the hidden aegyo-sal becomes more visible, making the face look much younger.

As the aegyo-sal appears more prominent and contributes to a more youthful image,

even under-eye fat repositioning alone can bring about many changes.

Rather than saying it is a type of eye that should not undergo the procedure, there are eyes for which it is unnecessary or not effective even if it is done.

When you want to remove under-eye wrinkles, under-eye fat repositioning is not effective.

In some cases, the wrinkles may appear even more pronounced, so it is not appropriate to have this procedure because of wrinkles.

To explain further, under-eye wrinkles may have looked mild or hidden thanks to the bulging fat under the eyes,

but when the fat is removed through under-eye fat repositioning, the wrinkles are more likely to appear more prominent.

That is why you must choose a procedure that matches your own eye area.

Many people probably think of under-eye fat repositioning as a simple procedure.

Compared to lower blepharoplasty, which is often compared with under-eye fat repositioning, it is true that it is a simpler procedure,

but because the structure around the under-eye area is complex, it is important not to think of it as too simple.

Of course, the reason I am saying this is not to say that the surgery is dangerous or difficult,

but to explain that if you undergo only under-eye fat repositioning without considering the conditions around your eyes at all,

you may end up with an undesirable result that does not match the ideal eyes you had in mind.

Because there are cases where lower blepharoplasty is needed instead of under-eye fat repositioning,

it is necessary not to insist on under-eye fat repositioning alone.

Today, we explained what effects under-eye fat repositioning has and for whom it is effective.

It is important that your understanding of under-eye fat repositioning has improved,

but I also hope you will remember that there are people who do not see a major effect from under-eye fat repositioning surgery.
