To Achieve Satisfactory Results from Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Surgery

Hello,

Obje Plastic Surgery Clinic is here for beautiful people who love and value themselves.

When consulting with patients who inquire about lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery, there are many who wonder whether fat grafting should be done at the same time.

Among those reading this post now, there may be many who are also having the same concern, so today I would like to talk about whether it is a good idea to combine fat grafting when performing lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery.

At our clinic, when we consult with patients, we do not unconditionally recommend fat grafting, and we explain why fat grafting may be necessary based on each person’s facial structure.

First, it is necessary to understand what lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery and fat grafting are.

What is lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery? It is a surgery that targets the two causes of under-eye bulging, orbital fat and the orbital septum, by repositioning the fat and tightening and fixing the septum.

It is mainly performed for those who are concerned about dark circles, or for those who want to improve a tired, older-looking appearance caused by under-eye puffiness, with the goal of creating a more natural facial impression, that is, a more lively face.

What is fat grafting? Fat grafting is a surgery in which a person’s own fat is harvested and transplanted to another area.

The transplanted fat is mainly used for body contour improvement or volume restoration.

It can be applied not only to the face, such as the forehead, under-eye area, front cheek, temples, side cheekbones, nasolabial folds, and chin, but also to various other areas such as the breasts and buttocks.

It is mainly performed to naturally create attractive volume in areas with concavity, such as a flat forehead or hollowed side cheeks.

When having lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery, must fat grafting also be done?

Cases where fat grafting is needed ✔️A flat and hollow front cheekbone ✔️When under-eye bulging and a hollow tear trough exist at the same time

Flat and hollow front cheekbone In fact, among the many people who come in for consultations, many have a face shape in which the front cheekbones are mostly hollow.

While the side cheekbones protrude, the front cheekbones being flat is a typical facial structure of Asians.

This facial structure is precisely what makes the entire face look flat and broad.

However, many people are completely unaware that their front cheekbones are hollow.

For such people, if the volume of the front cheekbones is slightly restored while undergoing lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,

and a natural S-line is formed from the under-eye area to the cheekbones,

it can create a much more lively and youthful effect.

When under-eye bulging and a hollow tear trough exist at the same time Many people show a complex condition in which part of the under-eye fat protrudes, while the lower area beneath the protruding fat, that is, the orbital bone area, is hollow.

For such people, because under-eye bulging and hollowness coexist, the protruding under-eye fat can be addressed through lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,

and for the hollow area at the orbital bone boundary,

using a single-fat-cell grafting method to slightly soften the contour

can lead to much better results.

Therefore, at our clinic, we recommend combining this approach for such patients with single-fat-cell grafting.

So far, we have briefly looked at whether fat grafting should be performed together with lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery.

When discussing lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery, many people come in after reading online reviews that emphasize only the negative aspects of fat grafting,

and they have the fixed idea that "I will never have fat grafting."

Rather than deciding in advance whether to do fat grafting or not and then coming in for a consultation,

it would be better to come with an open mind and first learn what benefits there may be from combining fat grafting, and whether your facial structure is one that needs fat grafting.

Doing so will likely lead to better results.

Because the appropriate surgical method may differ depending on each person’s facial structure, it is best to confirm the right approach through sufficient consultation with medical staff who have extensive experience in lower eyelid fat repositioning.

At our clinic, we provide customized one-on-one design by comprehensively considering all complex factors for results that everyone can be satisfied with.
