After lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery: procedures?
Three procedures recommended by Director Jang Wook

Hello.
This is Obje Plastic Surgery.
After lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,
the face can actually
look flatter,
have you heard that before?
Even when the surgery is successful,
some people worry that the overall balance
of the face still does not seem right,
or that aging in other areas
stands out more clearly.
Surprisingly, many people have these concerns.
For this reason, many people wonder whether there are procedures that, when done together, can create synergy.
So today, after lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,
we’re going to take a detailed look at
three procedures that can be helpful to consider at the same time.
If you read to the end,
it will be practically helpful
when planning your surgery.
Recommended procedure No. 1,
when the area in front of the cheekbone looks hollow?
The first procedure to consider is
fat grafting to the front of the cheekbone.
Why is this combination often recommended?
The three-dimensional look of the midface is mainly created in two places.
The volume under the eyes
and the volume in front of the cheekbone.
But lower eyelid fat repositioning
basically flattens out the protruding fat.

Naturally, the volume beneath the eyes
will decrease.
The problem starts here.
What happens if one of the two areas
that provided volume in the midface
suddenly disappears?
Relatively speaking, the whole face may
start to look flatter.

At this point, adding appropriate volume
to the front cheekbone area
helps maintain the three-dimensional look of the midface
and can create a more natural result.
It is especially effective
if the front cheekbone area was already hollow.
There is one more point
we should mention here.
Anatomically, the front cheekbone area
is also where a large nerve exits from the bone.
Because of this, the soft tissue in that area
is difficult to cover with a thick layer,
and since there is naturally less volume there,
it tends to look flat or slightly hollow.
As time passes, the bone is resorbed backward
and the soft tissue sags downward,
making the so-called "Indian wrinkle,"
a diagonal wrinkle,
become more pronounced.
After lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,
once the area under the eyes becomes cleaner,
some people feel that this Indian wrinkle
stands out more clearly.

Fat grafting to the front cheekbone can replenish this 부족한 volume
and may also naturally improve
the Indian wrinkle.
Some of you may be wondering,
"If I get fat grafting too,
won’t the swelling last much longer?"
While the added fat volume may make it feel like there is a bit more swelling,
the actual recovery period itself
is not very different.
So there is no need to hesitate
because of the recovery period.
Recommended procedure No. 2,
if the bulging cheek fat is bothering you?
The second procedure that is often performed together is
MINT thread lifting.
As we age, the marionette line
that extends downward from the nasolabial fold,
the area commonly called bulging cheek fat
or jowl fat,
appears.

At times like this, people who want
a simple yet natural lift
choose MINT thread lifting.
MINT thread lifting has the advantage of
lifting sagging areas without a long incision
and allowing quick recovery.
If you are already planning on a recovery period
after lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,
it can be an efficient choice to have
MINT thread lifting done at the same time,
so that the elasticity of the whole face
can be improved together.
Recommended procedure No. 3,
if you want a skin booster without pain?
The third procedure often considered together is
a skin booster treatment.

A skin booster is a procedure that injects medication
into the layer just beneath the skin.
Because the injection has to be given as if lifting the skin,
it can be quite painful without anesthesia.
However, when you undergo lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery,
a short sleep anesthesia and local anesthesia
in the cheekbone area are already routinely performed.
If you receive the skin booster while already anesthetized,
it can greatly reduce the burden of pain.
That is an advantage, as it allows the procedure to be done
much more comfortably than receiving a skin booster on its own.

Today, we looked at three procedures that are good to consider together after lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery.
Even one surgery takes a significant decision,
and the face is not an area where each part exists independently,
but rather something that should create harmony
within the overall balance,
so sometimes a combined approach
can produce more natural results.

Director Jang Wook of Obje Plastic Surgery,
based on a deep understanding of anatomical structures,
does not look only at the under-eye area,
but designs the most harmonious direction
by considering the proportions and flow of the entire face.
From the start of surgery to the end,
the procedure is carried out in a natural direction,
not based on the medical staff’s standard,
but on the standard of a result that the patient can be satisfied with.
So, the choices after lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery
are also not one-size-fits-all recommendations,
but proposals of only the combinations
that each individual needs most.
We hope that, with the care you have taken in considering your options,
you will achieve a satisfying result.
That concludes Obje Plastic Surgery.
Thank you.
