Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: Creating Brighter, More Vibrant Eyes

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

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

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

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

Ongoing aging cannot be stopped, and once wrinkles and protruding fat appear, they are difficult to improve naturally.

It would have been difficult to improve them with various home care methods such as skincare products and diet therapy ㅠㅠ

When puffy fat pockets and tear troughs appear under the eyes due to aging, they can make you look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, I’m going to introduce a surgery that can help brighten the eye area 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 mentioned earlier,

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

What is under-eye fat repositioning?

Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgical method that improves these changes by addressing the weakening of the septum that surrounds the under-eye fat due to aging, which can cause the lower eyelid area to sag or the fat to protrude. It is an eye surgery that can brighten the dark, wrinkled under-eye area and create a more youthful image.

However, because this surgery is performed around the under-eye area where blood vessels and nerves pass, results are much more satisfying when the procedure is done at a hospital equipped with experienced medical staff and advanced medical equipment.

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

Because it also improves eye-area elasticity and fine lines, creating a brighter, cleaner impression and a more youthful look, it is one of the procedures widely chosen regardless of age or gender.

DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning know-how

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

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important factor in a youthful eye appearance and the tissue that becomes more prominent when smiling, might disappear because of the 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 protruding beneath it, and DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning procedure preserves your own aegyo-sal, while after surgery it may even appear more defined, allowing for a more natural and beautiful eye shape.

There is almost no visible scarring from the surgery, 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 some swelling and a feeling of discomfort, but it is not enough to interfere with daily life; however, resting for about a day is recommended.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

After a thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive diverse clinical experience, a customized one-on-one plan is established and the procedure is performed. A tiny incision is made below the conjunctiva, unnecessary fat is removed, and then the orbital septum is tightened and fixed to the periosteum to strengthen it before the incision is sutured.

Through this surgery, you can expect effects such as a more youthful eye appearance, smoother changes under the eyes, improvement in wrinkles under the eyes and around the eyes, improvement in hollowness under the eyes, and improvement in dark, dull-looking dark circles! To achieve clear improvement and highly satisfying results, it should be performed after sufficient consultation.

What is septum reinforcement?

Earlier, I mentioned that 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 the chance of recurrence may be higher.

By firmly fixing it to the periosteum, the maintenance period is extended and side effects are minimized, which is why there are many good reviews and it is part of DM Plastic Surgery’s know-how.
