What Kind of Surgery Is Under-Eye Fat Repositioning?

What is under-eye fat repositioning?

Prominent under-eye fat that bulges outward, sunken under-eyes and tear troughs,

and dark circles can make the face look somewhat dull

and older, causing stress for many people.

To prevent aging under the eyes and improve a dull-looking impression,

people try changing their lifestyle

and work hard to make the under-eye area look brighter with good cosmetics,

but the effect is only minimal, and it is difficult to expect major results.

As a result, more and more people are becoming interested in the surgery called under-eye fat repositioning.

Causes of under-eye puffiness and under-eye hollowness?

Under-eye fat refers to the fat layer located beneath the aegyo-sal area.

When this fat accumulates excessively or skin elasticity is lost,

it causes tear troughs, dark circles, and under-eye wrinkles,

making you look older than your age and deepening dark circles,

which creates a tired-looking appearance.

If these symptoms are severe, you can expect a significant effect from under-eye fat repositioning surgery. Many people confuse aegyo-sal with under-eye fat. The aegyo-sal refers to the area just below the eyeball,

and it is important to preserve the aegyo-sal while removing the protruding part of the under-eye fat.

The causes of under-eye fat can be broadly divided into three categories.

1. Under-eye fat protrusion type

2. Under-eye fat protrusion with under-eye hollowing

3. Severe under-eye hollowing due to lack of fat

1-1 In the under-eye fat protrusion type, if the under-eye fat bulges out and a tear trough forms beneath it, under-eye fat repositioning is performed or the fatty tissue is removed before proceeding.

2-2 In the fat protrusion type accompanied by under-eye hollowing, the sunken area is filled by repositioning the protruding fat to make it flat.

3-3 For people with severe under-eye hollowing, there is not enough under-eye fat, so the area between the eyeball and the eye bone appears deeply sunken. When repositioning alone does not make the under-eye area flat, there is a method of extracting a small amount of fat and repositioning it.
