Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: Improving a Dark and Depressed Impression

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

Dark circles and puffiness under my eyes that stand out even more under bright sunlight 😨

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

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

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

You may have found it difficult to improve them with at-home care such as cosmetics or diet ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pockets and tear troughs under the eyes, the face can look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, I’d like to 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,

the type mentioned above may require under-eye fat repositioning,

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

What is under-eye fat repositioning?

Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgical procedure that improves this condition 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 wrinkles and the dark, tired-looking area under the eyes, while also creating a more youthful impression.

However, since this surgery is performed in an area where blood vessels and nerves pass,

a high level of satisfaction can be achieved only when the procedure is done at a hospital equipped with experienced medical staff and advanced medical equipment.

Under-eye fat is mostly caused by reduced elasticity due to aging, but symptoms can appear regardless of age,

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

Because it improves eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles as well,

you can expect a brighter, clearer impression and a more youthful look, making it one of the most common procedures regardless of age or gender.

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

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

By also securing the orbital septum, a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience can help reduce the possibility of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important factor in a youthful eye look and the tissue that becomes more noticeable when smiling, might 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 protruding below it, and DM Plastic Surgery’s under-eye fat repositioning preserves your own aegyo-sal as it is.

In fact, after surgery, aegyo-sal may look even more defined, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye appearance.

Scarring from the surgery is barely visible to the naked eye, and from the day after the procedure, you can wash your face except for the area under the eyes and return to daily life quickly.

There may be slight swelling and a feeling of foreign-body sensation, but it is not severe enough to interfere 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 abundant experience with various clinical cases,

an individualized 1:1 plan is established. The surgery is then performed by making a fine incision below the conjunctiva, removing unnecessary fat,

and tightening the orbital septum by fixing it to the periosteum, after which the incision is sutured closed.

Through the above procedure, you may experience a more youthful eye appearance, smoother changes under the eyes, improvement of wrinkles under the eyes and around the eyes,

improvement of hollowness under the eyes, and improvement of dark, dull-looking dark circles! To achieve clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed after sufficient consultation.

What is septum reinforcement?

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

This is because if only the under-eye fat is repositioned, the duration of the results may be shorter or the chance of recurrence may be higher.

By tightly fixing it to the periosteum, the maintenance period is increased and side effects are minimized, which is why there are many good reviews and it is one of DM Plastic Surgery’s areas of expertise.
