Will Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Improve the Appearance of a Tired-Looking Face? image 1

Hello.

I’m Director Lee Won, the head doctor at 21 Plastic Surgery.

When consulting with patients about eye surgery,

I often get asked,

“Will under-eye fat repositioning improve the look of a tired face?”

^^

The result of under-eye fat repositioning surgery

is not simply a matter of how much under-eye fat is removed,

but rather how naturally the hollows and shadows

under the eyes are smoothed out.

The area under the eyes does not take up a large part of the face,

but because it is close to the eyes, it is one of the factors

that strongly influences a person’s impression.

In particular, when under-eye fat protrudes

or the tear trough is deeply formed,

dark circles can appear more pronounced,

which can make a person look tired or older

than their actual age.

So rather than simply reducing the amount of fat,

it is important to understand the overall balance

of the under-eye structure!!

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery can help

people in the following cases.

  • When under-eye fat protrudes forward

    and the area below the eyes looks puffy

  • When the tear trough is deep and the line under the eyes looks unnatural

  • When fat protrusion and hollowness appear at the same time

  • When a step or unevenness forms under the eyes

Before surgery,

the patient’s under-eye area showed a shape where the fat was generally

standing out toward the front, and beneath it the tear trough continued,

creating a contour under the eyes.

In particular, rather than the under-eye line extending smoothly

from the inner side to the outer side,

a step was formed around the middle point....

In such cases, the issue is not simply that the under-eye area

looks puffy,

but that the volume below the eyes is not natural,

which can create an unrefined appearance.

If you approach this condition by simply removing under-eye fat,

the protruding area may be reduced,

but the hollow area may stand out even more,

making parts of the under-eye area look flat or lacking in volume.

[Surgery Plan]

So rather than aggressively removing under-eye fat,

we determined that it would be more appropriate to move the protruding fat

toward the tear trough.

Through this,

the contours under the eyes were smoothed out,

and by using the protruding fat to supplement the hollow area,

the under-eye line could be connected more naturally.

The procedure is performed through the conjunctiva on the inner side of the eye,

rather than through the outer side, which has the major advantage

of leaving no visible external scar^..^

Creating an appropriate, personalized surgical plan that matches each person’s

under-eye condition and anatomical structure

can be said to be the most important first step.

At 21 Plastic Surgery,

we consider the position of under-eye fat, the depth of the tear trough,

the skin’s elasticity, and the structure around the eyes,

and by performing the appropriate repositioning with these factors in mind,

we help smooth the under-eye line more naturally.

We plan surgery in a direction that fits each face,

so if you are stressed about protruding under-eye fat,

why not ease that concern with a specialist’s diagnosis?

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime!

We’ll kindly guide you~

Thank you.
