Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Pain? Surgical Process?

Director Jang Wook’s <Deep Dive>

Hello.

This is Obje Plastic Surgery.

When looking into under-eye fat repositioning,

"How much will it hurt...?"

is probably the first question that comes to mind.

The area around the eyes is a sensitive part of the face,

so it is completely natural to worry about this.

In actual consultations for under-eye fat repositioning,

we often hear questions like:

"Once the anesthesia wears off, does it hurt a lot?"

"Can you feel anything during the surgery?"

Some people may feel vaguely scared

because they do not really know

how the surgery is performed.

So today,

we will explain specifically what actually happens

on the day of under-eye fat repositioning,

and how much pain there is

during under-eye fat repositioning.

If you read to the end,

the vague anxiety you have now

will likely lessen a little.

The 'actual process' on the day of surgery

is revealed in detail!

Many people

start feeling nervous on the day of surgery,

and first wonder things like:

"Where should I go?"

"What do I need to prepare?"

At our Obje Plastic Surgery clinic,

on the day of surgery, you do not need to pass through a separate consultation room.

You can go straight up to the floor

where the operating room is located.

The consultation details

have already all been shared.

However, because there is paperwork such as consent forms

and some simple preparation procedures,

it is best to arrive about 1 hour

earlier than your scheduled time.

When you arrive,

you will first complete payment,

then be assigned a recovery room,

and change clothes.

If you are receiving only under-eye fat repositioning

without fat grafting,

there are cases where you do not need to change clothes.

After that, you will fill out the consent forms

and watch the pre-surgery guidance video

on a tablet.

You should remove contact lenses and piercings in advance.

Once preparation is complete,

you will move to the photo room

and have pre-surgery photos taken.

Then, when the doctor in charge comes in,

you will review the consent form contents

and receive one last explanation about the surgery.

At this point, the consent form includes

details about situations that can occur very rarely.

Because of that, while reading the consent form, many people become nervous and think,

"Could something like this happen too...?"

But this is only guidance

about possibilities.

In fact, getting too nervous can make anesthesia less effective

and is not good for recovery either,

so more than anything,

it is important to trust the medical staff you chose

and stay relaxed.

Once anesthesia is given, do you really not feel anything?

This is what it is like during surgery!

When you enter the operating room in earnest,

a line for anesthesia is inserted into your arm with a needle,

and then the face sterilization step begins.

Eye drops for protection

are also put into your eyes.

After sterilization is finished,

your face is covered with a sterile drape,

and from this point on,

you can relax and prepare to fall asleep.

The moment you hear,

"We’re putting the medicine in,"

you will almost immediately fall asleep.

At that moment, as the medication goes in,

you may feel something a little strange.

When we hear what people say after waking up,

some say they went on a trip to outer space,

some say they ran through a flower field,

some say they just kept laughing,

and some say they went to a black hole,

and they share a wide variety of experiences.

This is a temporary reaction caused by the anesthetic,

so there is no need to worry too much.

The under-eye fat repositioning procedure itself

takes about 40 to 50 minutes.

Because it deals precisely with a narrow area below the eyes,

there are moments when the surgical site is gently pulled

or the eyes are lightly pressed.

At this time, there may be a slight sensation of pulling or pressure,

but

it is closer to mild discomfort than to pain from under-eye fat repositioning.

It is clearly different from the feeling of "pain,"

so you can let your body relax and sleep comfortably.

When the under-eye fat repositioning on both sides is finished,

the protective lenses are removed,

and tape is applied under the eyes,

then we help you slowly

sit up from the bed.

At this time, because the medication may still be affecting you,

you may feel unsteady or dizzy,

so it is best to be careful.

Nurses will support you

all the way to the recovery room,

so please move slowly.

On the way home after surgery,

this is absolutely forbidden!

In the recovery room,

you will receive cold compresses

for about 20 to 30 minutes.

If you feel a little more awake,

you can press the bell that has been prepared.

After checking your condition,

if it is judged to be fine,

you can go home.

What is truly important at this time

is that you must not drive.

You may think,

"I’m fully awake, though?"

but in reality,

the effects of the medication may not have fully worn off yet.

It is as dangerous as drunk driving,

so you must never do it.

After you get home,

please read the instructions you received carefully

and follow them well.

In particular, compresses are very important

for reducing swelling,

so it is best to do them frequently.

Regarding pain after under-eye fat repositioning,

you should also take the prescribed medication

all the way to the end.

For up to two days, there may be pain,

so if needed, it is okay to take one or two more pain relievers

that you have at home.

Today, we explained in detail

what the actual process is like on the day of under-eye fat repositioning surgery,

and how much pain there is

after under-eye fat repositioning.

If you come in,

please allow for about one hour before surgery,

one hour during surgery,

and one hour after surgery,

for a total of about three hours.

Above all, rather than having a vague fear of surgery itself,

it is most important to understand the process

and

stay relaxed while trusting the medical staff.

Director Jang Wook of Obje Plastic Surgery

knows better than anyone the points that make patients anxious,

so before and after surgery,

we consider providing sufficient explanations and guidance

to be the basic standard of care.

Once you know the specific process,

the vague fear

will be greatly reduced.

If you are considering under-eye fat repositioning,

we hope you receive it at a place where you can fully understand the process

and trust the team with confidence.

This has been Obje Plastic Surgery.

Thank you.
