Under-Eye Fat Repositioning in Your 20s
Recommended If You Have These <Characteristics>!
│ Summary by Director Jang Wook

Hello.
This is Objet Plastic Surgery.
Even though you are still in your 20s,
if the area under your eyes looks bulged out
after applying makeup, it still doesn’t get covered,
and you keep hearing that you look tired because of dark circles,
it can be upsetting.
If you are reading this, I think you may have started looking into under-eye fat repositioning for this reason.
People around you may say,
“You’re still young, why would you need surgery?”
But in reality,
you probably feel bothered every time you look in the mirror,
and it is frustrating because makeup does not cover it.
In fact, these issues can occur regardless of age.
Because of differences in natural facial structure
or in the distribution of fat,
even people in their early 20s can have
bulging or hollow-looking under-eyes.
In such cases, time does not naturally improve the condition.
Rather, as aging progresses,
it can become worse,
so improving it while you are young may be more effective in the long term.

So today,
we will take a closer look at the characteristics of people who may need under-eye fat repositioning in their 20s.
Since under-eye fat repositioning is not something that should be judged by age alone,
it would be good to check carefully whether it applies to you.
If your under-eyes started protruding in your 20s?
The cause is OOOO
First, let’s explain why the under-eye area can look bulged even at a young age.
The area below the eyes is layered, from the outside, as skin, muscle, and fat.
The tissue that surrounds this fat is called the “orbital septum.”
This orbital septum plays the role of holding the fat in place so that it does not protrude forward.

Normally,
as we age, the orbital septum naturally loosens,
and the fat inside is pushed forward under the influence of gravity,
causing the under-eye area to look puffy.
However, the problem is that this does not only happen in your 40s or 50s.
Depending on your natural facial bone structure,
if the bone beneath the eyes is set inward,
or if the orbital septum itself is originally weak,
fat can protrude even in your 20s.
The same can happen if there is a large amount of fat
or if its distribution is uneven.
In such cases,
if you leave it alone thinking, “I’m still young, so it should be fine,”
the orbital septum will keep loosening over time,
and the fat will protrude even more.
Eventually, by your 30s,
it is highly likely to develop into a more severe condition.
The real reason dark circles do not get covered by makeup
“Can’t dark circles just be covered with concealer?”
Of course, dark circles caused by pigmentation can be somewhat improved with makeup.

But if the under-eye structure itself is uneven or hollow,
even if you apply makeup, shadows will form,
so it still looks dark.
The causes of dark circles can largely be divided into two types.
One is when the skin itself is thin,
causing blood vessels to show through or pigmentation to become noticeable,
and the other is a structural problem in which the under-eye area bulges,
making the lower area look relatively hollow.
The part where fat has been pushed forward appears raised,
and the area 바로 below it is sunken,
so when light hits it,
shadows are created.
In such cases,
laser procedures or cosmetics cannot fundamentally improve it.
Under-eye fat repositioning moves the protruding fat
into the hollow area,
creating a more even overall contour.

When the fat is properly redistributed,
the structure that creates shadows is reduced,
so if there is no pigmentation,
the dark circles can improve noticeably.
However, one thing to keep in mind is that
under-eye fat repositioning in your 20s does not mean dark circles will disappear 100%.
If pigmentation or vascular visibility is also involved,
structural improvement alone has limitations.
Still, because structural shadows can at least be significantly reduced,
it can be a more definite improvement method for people who did not see results even after trying multiple treatments.

Surgery in your 20s?
Doing it now is more beneficial
It is natural to wonder,
“Do I really need surgery in my 20s?”
The term surgery itself can feel burdensome,
and you naturally end up worrying about how other people will see and react to it.
But if you think about it the other way,
the younger you are, the faster you recover and the better your tissue elasticity is,
so the surgical results can also look more natural.
If under-eye fat repositioning is performed while the skin still has elasticity,
the skin adapts better to the change,
and the smooth line can be maintained longer even after surgery.

Of course, being in your 20s does not mean surgery is always necessary.
If only a small amount of fat is bulging out
and the dark circles are not severe,
non-surgical methods such as fillers or laser treatments may be enough to improve the area.
However, if the structural problem is clear,
it may actually be more efficient to address it while you are young.
I hope you will remember that point.
Today, we looked at the characteristics of people who may need under-eye fat repositioning in their 20s.
To summarize,
if the under-eye fat protrudes because of your natural facial structure,
or if your dark circles are severe due to structural issues,
and if you want improvement while your skin still has good elasticity,
you can definitely consider under-eye fat repositioning even in your 20s.
However, because surgery is something that should be decided carefully,
I recommend checking through a consultation with a specialist
what type of under-eye condition you actually have.

Director Jang Wook of Objet Plastic Surgery,
when performing under-eye fat repositioning,
judges with detailed criteria that consider not only the protrusion and hollowness of the under-eye fat,
but also skin elasticity and the overall impression of the face.
Rather than defining the under-eye condition as a single problem,
the clinic calmly distinguishes structural causes to reduce unnecessary choices,
and focuses on finding a direction that naturally suits each person’s face.
This treatment approach is also Director Jang Wook’s consistent standard,
placing importance on improvements that are not excessive,
regardless of age.
