Can Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Improve Dark Circles and Give a More Youthful Look??

<Actual lower eyelid fat repositioning case from DM Plastic Surgery>

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

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

When under-eye fat becomes protrusive, blood flow in the orbicularis oculi muscle is disrupted, increasing dark-red venous blood flow and making dark circles worse.

Ongoing aging cannot be stopped, and once wrinkles and protruding fat appear, they 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 creates bulging fat pads and tear troughs under the eyes, the face can look tired and older, so a quick improvement is needed. Today, I will introduce a surgery that can help create brighter eyes and improve skin wrinkles :D

If you have bulging under-eye fat and severe dark circles, this is the type that may need lower eyelid fat repositioning, so please pay attention to today’s post ^_^

What is lower eyelid fat repositioning?

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a surgical method that improves these changes when aging weakens the septum surrounding the under-eye fat, causing the lower eyelid area to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

It can brighten the dark, tired-looking under-eye area, improve wrinkles, and even create a more youthful look.

However, because this surgery is performed in an area where blood vessels and nerves pass through, patient satisfaction is much higher when the procedure is done at a hospital with experienced medical staff and advanced medical equipment.

Under-eye fat problems are mostly caused by reduced elasticity due to aging, but symptoms can appear regardless of age, and in fact there are more patients in their 20s and 30s.

It improves eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles as well, creating a brighter and clearer impression along with a more youthful effect, so it is one of the procedures widely chosen regardless of age or gender.

DM Plastic Surgery’s know-how in lower eyelid fat repositioning

Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a procedure in which the under-eye fat is properly repositioned toward the tear trough area to improve dark circles. By also securing the orbital septum, a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important element of a youthful eye look and the tissue that becomes more noticeable when smiling, might disappear because of 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 lower eyelid fat repositioning preserves your own aegyo-sal as it is. In fact, it can make the aegyo-sal look more defined after surgery, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye appearance.

There is almost no visible surgical scarring to the naked eye, and from the next day after the procedure, you can wash your face except for the area under the eyes and return quickly to daily life. Some swelling and a feeling of foreign body sensation may occur, but it should not interfere with daily activities; however, it is recommended to rest for about a day.

How is lower eyelid fat repositioning performed?

After sufficient consultation with a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience, a personalized 1:1 plan is established. Then, a fine incision is made beneath the conjunctiva, unnecessary fat is removed, and 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 of under-eye and eye-area wrinkles, improvement of hollowness under the eyes, and improvement of dark, dull dark circles! To achieve definite improvement and highly satisfying results, it should be performed after sufficient consultation.

What is septal reinforcement?

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 chance of recurrence may be higher.

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