Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: If You’re Concerned About a Prematurely Aged Look and a Tired Appearance

Under bright sunlight, my dark circles and puffy under-eyes stand out even more 😨

Among the many causes of dark circles are vascular visibility caused by under-eye fat or thin skin, or poor lifestyle habits.

When under-eye fat becomes puffy, blood flow in the orbicularis muscle is impaired, increasing dark reddish venous blood flow and making dark circles worse.

Progressive aging cannot be stopped, and wrinkles and protruding fat that have already formed are difficult to improve naturally.

So it may have been difficult to improve them with home care such as cosmetics or diet alone ㅠㅠ

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

If you have puffy under-eye fat and severe dark circles, this is the type that needs the under-eye fat repositioning procedure I mentioned earlier, so please pay attention to today’s post ^_^

What Is Under-Eye Fat Repositioning?

Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgical procedure that improves the condition in which, due to aging, the septum surrounding the under-eye fat weakens, causing the lower eyelid to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

This procedure improves those changes, brightening wrinkles and the dark, tired-looking area under the eyes, and can also create a more youthful appearance.

However, because it is a procedure performed under the eyes, where blood vessels and nerves run, results are much more satisfactory when the surgery is done at a hospital with experienced medical staff and advanced medical equipment.

Under-eye fat usually appears because of reduced elasticity due to aging, but it can occur regardless of age, and in fact, there are more patients in their 20s and 30s.

Because it can improve eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles, creating a brighter, cleaner impression and a younger look, it is one of the procedures widely chosen regardless of age or gender.

DM Plastic Surgery’s Know-How in Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure in which the under-eye fat is properly repositioned toward the tear trough area to improve dark circles, and by fixing the orbital septum as well, a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important feature of a youthful eye and the tissue that becomes prominent when smiling, may disappear because of surgery, there is no need to worry because the under-eye fat and aegyo-sal are anatomically different areas! The under-eye fat is the tissue bulging below it, and DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning preserves your own aegyo-sal. In fact, after surgery, the aegyo-sal may appear even more defined, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye appearance.

There is almost no visible surgical scar, 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. Some swelling and a foreign-body sensation may occur, but it is not to the extent of interfering with daily life; however, we recommend resting for about a day.

How Is Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Performed?

After a thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive clinical experience, a customized 1:1 plan is established and the procedure is performed. A tiny incision is made beneath the conjunctiva, the unnecessary fat is removed, and then the orbital septum is tightened and strengthened by fixing it to the periosteum, after which the incision is sutured.

Through the above procedure, you may see effects such as a more youthful eye appearance, smoother changes under the eyes, improvement in wrinkles under and around the eyes, improved hollowness under the eyes, and improvement in dark, dull dark circles! For clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed only after sufficient consultation.

What Is Septum Reinforcement?

As mentioned earlier during 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 recurrence may be more likely.

Fixing it tightly to the periosteum increases longevity and minimizes side effects, which is why there are many good reviews and one of DM Plastic Surgery’s strengths.
