Under-Eye Fat Repositioning for a Brighter, More Refreshed Look

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

Dark circles and under-eye puffiness that stand out even more under strong 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, circulation in the orbicularis oculi muscle can be disrupted, increasing dark-red venous blood flow and making dark circles more severe.

Aging is a process that 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 home care such as cosmetics or dietary adjustments ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pads and tear troughs under the eyes, they can make you look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, we would like to introduce a procedure that can help brighten the eye area and improve skin wrinkles :D

If you have prominent under-eye fat and severe dark circles,

this is one of the cases that may require the under-eye fat repositioning procedure 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 wrinkles and the dark, tired-looking area under the eyes by addressing the weakening of the septum that surrounds the fat under the eyes due to aging, which can cause the lower eyelid area to sag or the fat to protrude. It is an eye procedure that can create a brighter under-eye area and even provide a more youthful image effect.

However, since this is a surgery performed in the under-eye area where blood vessels and nerves pass, satisfaction is much higher when the procedure is done at a hospital equipped with experienced medical staff and advanced medical devices.

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

Because it can improve eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles as well, creating a brighter, clearer impression along with a more youthful look, it is one of the procedures popular across all ages and genders.

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

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure that improves dark circles by properly redistributing the under-eye fat toward the tear trough area. By fixing the orbital septum as well, the plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience helps reduce the possibility of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, the tissue that creates a youthful eye appearance and becomes more prominent when smiling, might disappear after surgery, there is no need to worry because 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 natural aegyo-sal. In fact, it can make the aegyo-sal appear more defined after surgery, allowing for a more natural and beautiful eye shape.

Scarring from the surgery is barely visible 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 quickly return to daily life. Some swelling and a sense of foreign-body discomfort may occur, but it should not interfere with daily activities; however, we recommend resting for about a day.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

After a sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive clinical experience, a personalized 1:1 plan is established. The procedure is then performed by making a fine incision below the conjunctiva, removing unnecessary fat, and then tightening and reinforcing the orbital septum by fixing it to the periosteum before suturing the incision.

Through the above procedure, you can expect effects such as a more youthful eye appearance, a smoother under-eye area, improved wrinkles under and around the eyes, improved hollowness under the eyes, and improvement of dark, dull dark circles! To achieve clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be done after sufficient consultation.

What is septal reinforcement?

Earlier, we mentioned that during the procedure, 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 increase.

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