Regaining Youth Through Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

As skin loses elasticity with age

and becomes dull and rough,

it can feel very discouraging.

Even when you are not especially tired,

it can also be bothersome when people around you

ask if you did not sleep well and worry about you.

The main cause of an impression that looks tired like this

is the condition of the tissue under the eyes.

Due to gravity, the muscles and fat in the face

gradually sag downward.

The skin tissue under the eyes is the same;

as it loses elasticity, the fat area may protrude

or a deep groove may form in the lower part.

When dark circles are added as well,

even young people can

end up looking tired all the time.

As a solution to this,

under-eye fat repositioning

has been drawing attention, and today we will look at

what situations make it a good option.

At Miho Plastic Surgery,

we diagnose the method that fits

each person's characteristics exactly

and apply it naturally.

Perhaps that is why many people have undergone the procedure

and regained a youthful, energetic face.

In particular, if the area under the eyes is bulging

but the lower part is sunken like a groove,

a simple fat removal alone is not enough.

In fact, it may make you look older,

so the protruding fat is moved

and made flat and smooth.

Since the shadow from the groove can make dark circles

look more pronounced as well,

structural improvement through repositioning is needed.

When that happens, the dark impression that could not be covered

with makeup becomes brighter,

and many people are satisfied.

So then,

how is under-eye fat repositioning

performed?

First, an incision is made in the conjunctiva inside the eye

so it is not visible from the outside.

After that, the protruding fat is moved

toward the hollow tear trough

and the tissue is firmly fixed.

What is important here is strengthening the skin tissue

so that it gains firmness.

Strengthening the septum and fixing the fat

are essential steps for creating

smooth skin.

The reason this method is used so often is

that it leaves no scar at all.

Because the conjunctival incision area is small

and not exposed externally,

you can return to daily life quickly.

Recovery is usually fast, within 7 days,

and you can receive natural-looking results.

Because you can gain a major improvement

after enduring a relatively low-burden recovery period,

many people choose to proceed with interest.

Because it looks so natural, acquaintances often do not notice

that repositioning was done,

and simply say you somehow look prettier.

Through a modest improvement method,

you can achieve a satisfying appearance

and change into a more youthful look.

So how much time does the entire process take?

Under-eye fat repositioning is performed under sleep anesthesia

and takes about 60 minutes.

Compared with other procedures,

it is relatively simple, so there is less concern.

In most cases, you can resume daily life immediately,

and bruising disappears within a week,

so it is certainly not burdensome.

However, even if the incision is minor,

it is best to avoid drinking alcohol and

strenuous activity so that inflammation does not occur.

With consistent care,

even swelling disappears completely within two weeks,

allowing you to show off a younger-looking appearance.

However, this repositioning method

is not appropriate for everyone.

If skin elasticity is too low

and sagging is severe, the results will be poor.

That is why it is usually preferred by people in their 30s or 40s

who still have skin elasticity.

If you are older and wrinkles are severe,

a lower eyelid procedure that involves a skin incision

is sometimes combined as an improvement option.

Therefore, it is important to receive a detailed diagnosis

of what condition your skin is in.

Looking at the prognosis when under-eye fat repositioning is performed,

whether the conjunctival incision is invisible

plays a very important role.

People in their 50s often have many wrinkles,

so a lower eyelid procedure is added to remove those wrinkles as well.

Because it resolves both wrinkles and sagging together,

it greatly improves the appearance of an aged face overall.

This method is also popular because it provides

natural and beautiful skin.

However, because the incision site is external,

it takes a bit more time to heal.

Still, if a method is chosen carelessly without lasting durability,

satisfaction will be lower.

Therefore, it is important to have a thorough consultation

to determine whether it is the right method for you.

Facial muscles determine the overall impression,

so they must be approached delicately.

Whether simple fat removal is enough

or repositioning should be considered

will be decided by experienced practitioners.

It is important to choose a place that carefully manages each case

with the appropriate method based on many cases.

We provide dedicated care from diagnosis to the procedure and follow-up,

so you can trust us.

We also continue to develop through ongoing research

so that even better results can be achieved.

Right after under-eye fat repositioning,

there are also occasional cases where people worry

because the skin does not look smooth.

The feeling of clumping after the procedure

is a phenomenon that occurs during the temporary process of fixing the tissue,

so it may help to keep that in mind.

It usually becomes soft after about a month of recovery,

so there is no need to worry.

Also, during the process of removing protruding fat

and placing it into the hollow groove,

some areas may appear sunken.

After about a week, you can see that it naturally fills in.

So what side effects should you be careful about?

You should be cautious about bleeding after fat grafting and similar issues.

If bleeding occurs while removing orbital fat

and a hematoma forms behind the eyeball,

it must be addressed at the hospital immediately.

Therefore, you need to find an experienced and skilled medical team.

In addition, conjunctival swelling or reduced vision

may occur temporarily.

These disappear as the swelling goes down and recovery progresses,

so there is no need to worry too much.

However, under-eye fat repositioning

is not something that is performed unconditionally.

There may be protrusion of tissue due to reduced skin elasticity,

but there may be no groove formation.

In that case, a simple fat removal procedure

followed by strengthening the septum is applied.

If pigmentation is severe or elasticity is reduced,

additional procedures such as ultrasound or radiofrequency may be added

to achieve more satisfying results.

You may also be able to have a clearer,

more beautiful face by adding a canthoplasty at the outer lower corner of the eye.

If sagging under the eyes is causing a lot of stress,

we recommend finding the appropriate method

through a systematic diagnosis.
