Why Does Satisfaction Differ Before and After Under-Eye Filler?

Before and After Under-Eye Filler

Why Does Satisfaction Differ?

Because of “This”

Hello.

This is 오브제성형외과.

When you look for before-and-after cases involving under-eye filler,

you can see that reviews are clearly divided between those who were satisfied

and those who were dissatisfied.

Although they received the same procedure,

some people experience natural improvement,

while others may look even more swollen afterward.

It is understandable that you may want to know

why this difference occurs.

This is especially true if you are personally considering

under-eye filler or lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery.

So today,

we will explain the main reason why satisfaction differs

before and after under-eye filler.

We will also look at which cases may be expected to respond to the procedure

and which cases may require a different approach,

so reading to the end may be helpful.

Satisfied People vs. Unsatisfied People,

“This Difference” Determines the Outcome

The biggest reason that results before and after under-eye filler

differ from person to person

is the structure beneath the eyes.

Filler is a procedure that adds volume

to areas that are hollow.

Therefore, if only the tear trough is slightly hollow

and the fat beneath the eyes is not protruding,

natural improvement may be expected.

However, this situation is

not as common as you might think.

In reality, most people who feel that their under-eye area looks dark

or that they look tired

have a combined structure in which the under-eye fat protrudes forward

while the area beneath it is simultaneously hollow.

In simple terms,

there is both a “protruding area” and a “hollow area”

at the same time.

If filler is injected in this state,

volume is added over the protruding fat,

which remains as it is.

The under-eye area may look thicker,

or may feel heavy and swollen.

In some cases,

it may appear uneven,

or your overall appearance may look different.

There is one more point to keep in mind.

The skin beneath the eyes is

one of the particularly thin areas of the face,

so filler may show through after injection.

A bluish discoloration may appear,

and in some cases,

dark circles may actually look more pronounced.

Ultimately, the key factor determining satisfaction

before and after under-eye filler

is whether the under-eye area is simply hollow,

or whether it is hollow together with protruding fat.

Do Not Just Fill It—Reposition It!

If the under-eye structure is complex,

lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

may be considered instead of a filling approach such as filler.

Lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

does not remove the protruding under-eye fat;

it moves the fat toward the hollow area.

As the bulging area is reduced

while the hollow area is filled at the same time,

a smoother under-eye contour may be expected.

If you are considering under-eye filler or lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

and your under-eye fat is visibly protruding,

or if dark circles that look like shadows

are also present,

lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

may be more suitable than under-eye filler.

However, there is one more point to consider.

Even after the protruding fat is addressed

through lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery,

areas with deep hollows

may not be filled sufficiently

with repositioning alone.

In this situation,

under-eye fat grafting may be considered.

However, because the skin beneath the eyes is very thin,

conventional under-eye fat grafting

may cause the fat to clump or settle unevenly.

For this reason, 오브제성형외과

performs single-fat-cell under-eye fat grafting (SFG).

This method separates autologous fat

into individual cells and grafts it

so that it can settle evenly even in thin areas such as beneath the eyes.

It may help reduce fat clumping

and allow the volume to settle naturally.

When performed together with lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery,

it can address the protruding fat

while also supplementing the volume.

I Already Had Filler…

Can I Still Have Lower-Eyelid Fat Repositioning Surgery?

There are quite a few people who consult about

lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

after being dissatisfied with their results before and after under-eye filler.

Some people also worry about whether

lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery is possible

after already receiving under-eye filler.

In such cases,

the previously injected filler is dissolved first,

and the condition beneath the eyes is carefully assessed

before deciding how to proceed.

Having received filler does not necessarily make

the surgery itself difficult.

However, because it is necessary to examine

how much of the existing filler remains

and what condition the under-eye tissue is in,

it is important that a detailed diagnostic process

takes place first.

Ultimately, the important thing is to first determine

whether your current under-eye structure

is one that improves when filled,

or whether it is a condition requiring treatment

that changes the structure itself.

Even accurately confirming this one point

can make the treatment approach much clearer.

Today, we looked at why satisfaction can differ

even when the same procedure is performed.

The key was the under-eye structure.

If the area is simply hollow,

improvement may be expected with filler.

However, if the structure is hollow together with protruding fat,

there may be limitations to simply adding volume.

In such cases,

addressing the structure itself through lower-eyelid fat repositioning surgery

may be more appropriate.

If the hollow area is deep,

single-fat-cell under-eye fat grafting may also be considered

as an accompanying procedure.

Director 김현조 of 오브제성형외과

carefully examines the degree of under-eye fat protrusion,

the depth of the hollows,

as well as skin thickness and elasticity,

and then explains the appropriate options

based on the condition of the under-eye area.

Whether to simply add volume

or change the structure,

designing the appropriate approach

according to the condition beneath the eyes

is Director 김현조’s approach to care.

Before deciding on a procedure,

we recommend first checking

what kind of structure your under-eye area has.
