Hello.

I am plastic surgeon Yoo Young-ki,

who developed the 'quadruple fixed continuous suture method'

to secure fat more firmly during under-eye fat repositioning surgery.

Last year alone, I performed more than 700 under-eye fat repositioning surgeries.

About 35% of those patients were men.

Ten years ago, men were not very interested in plastic surgery,

but recently the ratio of men and women undergoing plastic surgery seems to be becoming more similar.

In addition, these days, under-eye fat repositioning surgery is

seen less as a plastic surgery procedure

and more as a simple corrective procedure,

so just as double-eyelid surgery has become very common,

under-eye fat surgery has also become common.

That is probably because the surgical burden is not very large, and the satisfaction after surgery is so high.

However, for satisfaction to be high, the most important thing is

from the beginning, correctly determining whether surgery is actually needed.

In fact, in this area, it is most accurate to receive a consultation from an experienced specialist,

but before that, it is also good for the patient to have a certain level of knowledge.

To get good results from male under-eye fat repositioning, you need to know whether your condition is suitable for surgery.

Let’s look at the three conditions I consider important, using real patient examples.

These are photos taken before male under-eye fat repositioning surgery, when looking straight ahead and when the eyes are directed toward the ceiling.

If you look closely, you can see 1. the fat that protrudes under the eyes.

When the fat bulges outward, it alone can create an impression of looking older.

And do you see the hollow space below the protruding fat?

This is the space known as the tear trough.

Because of the protruding fat and the tear trough below it, 2. shadow inevitably forms underneath.

Dark circles are a combination of various factors.

In cases like this, the dark feeling caused by shadow is improved by flattening the area through fat repositioning, so that no more shadow is cast and the area looks brighter.

Lastly, the third point: 3. visible blood vessels can be seen.

Do you see the area with a pinkish tone around the protruding fat?

This is a case where blood vessels that would normally not be visible are showing through.

In such cases, if pressure is distributed neatly during fat repositioning, the area can become much brighter.

There are also parts that under-eye fat repositioning cannot improve.

One such part is the natural pigmentation originally present in the skin.

Since it is difficult to judge from photos alone, for this part, receiving an examination from an experienced specialist is also a way to find out how much improvement can be expected.

These are photos taken 1 year and 7 months after surgery.

The patient came in for skin care and InMode treatment, and we also checked the progress :)

The bulging area became flatter, so shadows no longer formed, and the visible blood vessels also improved a lot.

Even when smiling, you can see that the aegyo-sal remained intact and was well preserved.

If you are hearing about under-eye fat repositioning for the first time, you may find it unfamiliar.

Under-eye fat surgery is mainly performed to improve dark circles and hollow under-eyes caused by fat prominence beneath the eyes.

The basic principle of the surgery is to reposition the fat accumulated under the eyes, increase volume in hollow areas, and smooth the contour, with the goal of creating a more youthful and lively eye area.

The procedure is as follows.

First, after anesthesia (at our clinic, we perform it under sleep anesthesia), an incision is made on the conjunctiva or skin of the eye, but in a hidden area on the opposite side, to access the internal fat.

A clean dissection space is created to allow the fat to be repositioned into the hollow area under the eyes.

The fat is distributed evenly, harmonized with the surrounding tissue, and the volume is adjusted.

After surgery, the under-eye area becomes smoother and more voluminous, which can produce an overall more youthful effect.

The advantages of the surgery are that it can produce natural results and, rather than simply removing fat, it repositions the fat to adjust under-eye volume, so more satisfying results can be expected.

In addition, the recovery period after surgery is relatively short, scarring is not visible, and the surgery can fundamentally solve problems such as dark circles and hollow under-eyes, which is also a major advantage.

However, as with all surgeries, there are risks and side effects with male under-eye fat repositioning surgery as well.

Swelling, bruising, and pain may occur after surgery, and in rare cases, problems such as infection, bleeding, or uneven fat distribution may arise.

Also, the expected results may not always be achieved, so before surgery it is important to have sufficient consultation and examinations to understand whether the procedure is suitable for you, what results can be expected, and to fully understand these points.

In conclusion, male under-eye fat repositioning surgery is an effective method that can improve under-eye concerns and create a more youthful and energetic eye area.

However, before surgery, it is important to accurately understand your condition and expectations through 충분한 상담, and to work with an experienced specialist to plan for a safe and satisfying result.
