Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning: Improving a Tired Appearance and Bulging Under-Eyes!

Lower eyelid fat repositioning: improving a tired appearance and bulging under-eyes!

<Actual DM Plastic Surgery lower eyelid fat repositioning case>

My dark circles and bulging under-eyes become even more noticeable in the bright sunlight 😨

Common causes of dark circles include visible blood vessels due to under-eye fat or thin skin, as well as unhealthy lifestyle habits.

When the fat under the eyes bulges, it can cause blood-flow disturbances in the orbicularis oculi muscle, increasing the amount of dark red venous blood flow and making dark circles more pronounced.

The aging process cannot be stopped, and once wrinkles and protruding fat develop, they are difficult to improve naturally.

You may have found it difficult to improve them through various home-care methods such as cosmetic products and dietary changes. ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pockets and tear troughs under the eyes, the face can look tired and older. Prompt improvement may be needed, so today we would like to introduce a surgery that may help create a brighter eye area and improve skin wrinkles. :D

If the fat under your eyes is bulging and your dark circles are pronounced,

this may be the type of case that requires the lower eyelid fat repositioning mentioned above.

Please pay close attention to today’s post. ^_^

What Is Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning?

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a surgical method for improving a condition in which the septum surrounding the fat under the eyes weakens with age, causing the lower eyelids to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

It can brighten the wrinkled, dark-looking under-eye area that makes you appear tired and may also create a more youthful appearance.

However, because this surgery is performed in the under-eye area, where blood vessels and nerves pass, it is important to undergo the procedure at a clinic with experienced medical professionals and advanced medical equipment for a higher level of satisfaction.

Under-eye fat is usually caused by a loss of elasticity associated with aging, but it can appear regardless of age. In fact, many patients are in their 20s and 30s.

Because it can also improve elasticity around the eyes and fine wrinkles, it may create a brighter, clearer appearance as well as a more youthful look. It is therefore one of the procedures commonly chosen by people of various ages and genders.

DM Plastic Surgery’s Expertise in Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Lower eyelid fat repositioning improves dark circles by appropriately repositioning the fat toward the tear trough area.

By also securing the orbital septum, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience can help reduce the possibility of recurrence.

If you are worried that the lower eyelid fullness, an important element of a youthful eye area and a tissue that becomes more noticeable when smiling, might disappear after surgery, there is no need to worry because the fat under the eyes and this lower eyelid fullness are anatomically different areas.

Under-eye fat is tissue that protrudes beneath the lower eyelid fullness. DM Plastic Surgery’s lower eyelid fat repositioning procedure preserves your existing lower eyelid fullness, and it may appear more defined after surgery, allowing the eye area to look more natural and attractive.

There is almost no visible scarring, and from the day after the procedure, you can wash your face—except for the area beneath the eyes—and quickly return to your daily activities.

Some swelling and a foreign-body sensation may occur, but they should not interfere significantly with daily life. However, we recommend taking about one day to rest.

How Is Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Performed?

After thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience in various cases, a customized 1:1 plan is established.

The procedure is then performed by making a fine incision beneath the conjunctiva, removing unnecessary fat, tightening the orbital septum, securing it to the periosteum to reinforce it, and suturing the incision.

Through this surgery, you may achieve a more youthful-looking eye area, a smoother appearance beneath the eyes, improvement in under-eye and eye-area wrinkles, improvement in hollowness beneath the eyes, and improvement in dark, dull-looking dark circles.

To achieve clear improvement and a satisfactory result, the procedure should be performed after sufficient consultation.

What Is Septum Reinforcement?

As mentioned earlier, during the surgery, the orbital septum is pulled and secured to the periosteum.

This is because repositioning only the fat under the eyes may shorten the duration of the result or increase the possibility of recurrence.

Securing it tightly to the periosteum can help extend the duration of the result and minimize complications. This is one reason the procedure has received many positive reviews and is part of DM Plastic Surgery’s expertise.
