To stop worrying about lower eyelid fat repositioning side effects,

you must check these 3 things!

Hello, this is Obje Plastic Surgery.

Most people considering lower eyelid surgery

want to see the benefits,

but also can’t help wondering,

What if something goes wrong?

In consultations, many people

bring up concerns about side effects

first.

Those worries are completely understandable.

It just means you are thinking carefully

about the procedure.

Today, we will look at why these failures happen

and summarize the ‘3 diagnostic criteria’

that must be checked in advance

to prevent those causes.

If you understand these criteria properly,

you can reduce worries about side effects

much more and keep the results

stable for a longer time.

Criterion 1: For side effects that make the eyes look unnatural, you must protect the ‘muscles’ first

The first criterion is directly connected

to the patient’s ‘safety.’

Recently, there was a troubling case

that gained attention, where strabismus

occurred after lower eyelid fat repositioning.

The fundamental reason for this kind of side effect

is that the muscle that moves the eyeball

was damaged.

Around the eyeball,

there are 6 muscles,

and some of them pass between

fat pads.

Therefore, if the medical team does not fully

understand this anatomical structure and

tries to handle only the fat too quickly,

unintended damage to the muscles

can occur.

In particular, when using a laser-based method,

if the fat layer is thin,

there is a risk that the depth may go deeper

than expected,

which can increase the possibility of affecting

the muscle layer.

Obje’s diagnostic criterion is this

Obje follows the original fat repositioning surgical method,

which is different from laser-based methods.

Using only the delicate surgical technique

of an experienced specialist,

we directly 확인 the membrane surrounding the fat

and work only in a safe layer where there are no muscles.

Protecting the eye muscles thoroughly through

this precise technique is Obje’s first

criterion for patient safety.

Criterion 2: Is removing the puffiness enough? You need to check elasticity first

The second criterion is an anti-aging solution

that blocks the possibility of the face looking

even older after surgery.

Many people worry that after surgery,

the fat will be resolved,

but fine wrinkles may stand out instead.

This happens because skin elasticity

was not properly assessed.

In other words, if you think only the ‘puffiness’

is the problem and reduce only the fat,

the elasticity issue remains,

and wrinkles may end up becoming more visible.

If you deflate a balloon that was never elastic to begin with,

the loose rubber folds and fine wrinkles

naturally appear on the surface.

The area under the eyes is the same.

If someone with reduced elasticity has less fat,

the remaining skin has nowhere to go,

and wrinkles increase.

Obje’s diagnostic criterion is this

Before surgery, Obje always checks the patient’s

skin thickness and elasticity.

If elasticity has dropped significantly,

simple fat repositioning alone may have limits.

So, if necessary, we also explain options that

combine skin excision to address the loose skin itself.

In this way, opening up both the possibility of

repositioning and incision, and deciding together with the patient

between wrinkles and scars,

is the second criterion for preventing a result that

makes you look older.

Criterion 3: Worried about hollowness and dark circles? Single fat cell grafting

The third criterion is about adding volume

to prevent the under-eye area from looking

even more hollow after surgery.

Even after fat repositioning,

if the under-eye area still looks sunken

or shadowed,

it may be because there was not much fat to begin with,

so repositioning alone could not provide enough volume.

That is why a process to supplement the missing volume

needs to be included as well.

The most representative method is fat grafting.

The problem is that with regular fat grafting alone,

there can be limits to filling the thin, delicate under-eye area

cleanly.

There is a risk that the fat clumps together

or forms visible layers, making the under-eye area

look uneven.

Obje’s diagnostic criterion is this

To solve this problem, Obje uses a technique

called single fat cell grafting.

When fat is removed from the body and viewed under a microscope,

you can see the fat cells clumped together

like a bunch of grapes.

We use enzyme processing to separate them all

into individual cell units.

These separated fat cells are then injected very thinly and evenly,

without clumping, to gently fill the difference in level

between the sunken area and the cheekbone.

In addition, single fat cell grafting not only fills

the lost volume, but also helps reinforce the thin skin

with the injected cells, reducing the visibility of blood vessels.

In other words, filling volume to remove shadows

and thickening the skin to improve dark circles as well

is the most detailed form of volume restoration

that we pursue.

Today, we looked at the 3 criteria

that can help prevent side effects from lower eyelid fat repositioning.

In the end, the key to preventing side effects

is not which procedure is better,

but finding a clinic that can diagnose the three problems at the same time:

puffiness (fat), sagging (elasticity), and hollowness with shadows (volume),

and flexibly apply the right method for each one.

Under-eye concerns are not just about fat alone;

they are a complex structure closely connected to dark circles as well.

That is why it is important to check whether the clinic can address the whole area,

rather than insisting on just one method.

If you are still worried about lower eyelid fat repositioning side effects,

please carefully discuss these 3 criteria with your medical team.

Most importantly, the key is not to go to a place that only does lower eyelid fat repositioning well,

or a place that only insists on fat grafting,

but to find a clinic that handles both well and looks at the structure of the under-eye area and dark circles together.

Because you have thought carefully about this,

I sincerely hope you achieve a result that you will be truly satisfied with.

This has been Obje Plastic Surgery.

Thank you.
