A Brighter, More Youthful Look Through Under-Eye Improvement image 1

<Actual case of under-eye fat repositioning at DM Plastic Surgery>

My under-eye dark circles and puffy under-eyes stand out even more in the bright sunlight 😨

Among the many causes of dark circles are blood vessel visibility due to under-eye fat or thin skin, or poor lifestyle habits.

When under-eye fat becomes puffy, blood flow disorders in the orbicularis oculi muscle occur, increasing dark red venous blood flow and making dark circles more severe.

Aging in progress cannot be stopped, and wrinkles or protruding fat that have already formed are difficult to improve naturally.

It is likely that cosmetic care, dietary therapy, and other home care methods have not been enough to improve them ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pads and tear troughs under the eyes, the face can look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, I’m going to introduce a procedure that can help brighten the eye area and improve skin wrinkles :D

If the under-eye fat is bulging and the dark circles are severe,

this is the type that likely needs under-eye fat repositioning, as mentioned earlier,

so please pay attention to today’s post ^_^

What is under-eye fat repositioning? A Brighter, More Youthful Look Through Under-Eye Improvement image 2

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure that improves the condition caused by aging, where the septum surrounding the under-eye fat weakens,

leading to sagging below the eyelids or bulging fat.

It is a type of eye surgery that can brighten the under-eye area, improve wrinkles and the dark, tired appearance,

and even create a more youthful look.

However, because this is a procedure performed on the under-eye area where blood vessels and nerves pass,

a hospital with experienced medical staff and advanced medical equipment should perform the surgery to achieve much higher satisfaction.

Under-eye fat usually appears due to reduced elasticity from aging, but it can occur regardless of age,

and in fact, there are more patients in their 20s and 30s.

Because it improves eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles, creating a brighter, cleaner impression and a more youthful effect,

it is one of the procedures popular across all age groups and genders.

DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning know-how A Brighter, More Youthful Look Through Under-Eye Improvement image 3

Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgery that improves dark circles by properly repositioning the under-eye fat toward the tear trough,

and by fixing the orbital septum together, a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience helps reduce the chance of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important element of a youthful eye look and the tissue that stands out when smiling, might disappear after surgery,

you do not need to worry because the under-eye fat and aegyo-sal are anatomically different areas!

The under-eye fat is the tissue protruding beneath it, and DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning preserves your own aegyo-sal as it is.

In fact, it can make the aegyo-sal look more distinct after surgery, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye area.

Scarring from the surgery is almost not visible to the naked eye, and from the day after the procedure, you can wash your face and return to daily life quickly, except for the area under the eyes.

There may be slight swelling and a foreign-body sensation, but it is not enough to interfere with daily life; however, we recommend resting for about a day.

After thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in a variety of clinical cases,

a personalized 1:1 plan is established. A fine incision is made beneath the conjunctiva to remove unnecessary fat,

then the orbital septum is tightened and reinforced by fixing it to the periosteum, and the incision is sutured closed.

Through the above procedure, you can achieve a more youthful eye look, smoother changes under the eyes, improved wrinkles under the eyes and around the eyes,

improvement in hollowness under the eyes, and a reduction in dark, dull dark circles!

For clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed after 충분한 상담.

As mentioned earlier in the surgical process, the orbital septum is pulled and fixed to the periosteum.

This is because if only the under-eye fat is repositioned, the maintenance period may become shorter or the condition may be more likely to recur.

By tightening and fixing it to the periosteum, the maintenance period is increased and side effects are minimized,

which is why there are so many good reviews and why it is DM Plastic Surgery’s know-how.
