Under-Eye Fat Repositioning: Smoothly Restoring Puffy Under-Eyes!

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

My dark circles and puffy under-eyes look even more noticeable in the bright 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, blood flow around the orbicularis oculi muscle becomes obstructed, increasing 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, so it likely would have been hard to address 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 improvement is needed quickly. Today, I’d like to introduce a procedure that can help brighten the eye area and improve skin wrinkles :D

If your under-eye fat is puffy and your dark circles are severe,

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 procedure that improves this condition by addressing the weakening of the septum surrounding the under-eye fat due to aging, which can cause the lower eyelid area to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

It is an eye procedure that can brighten the dark, tired-looking under-eye area and even create a more youthful appearance.

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

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

Because it improves eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles, creating a brighter, clearer impression and a more youthful look, it is one of the procedures that many people choose regardless of age or gender.

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

Under-eye fat repositioning improves dark circles by properly repositioning the under-eye fat toward the tear trough area,

and by fixing the orbital septum at the same time, a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience helps reduce the possibility of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, an important element of a youthful eye look and the tissue that becomes prominent 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 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, the aegyo-sal may appear even more defined, allowing for a more natural and beautiful eye shape.

There is almost no visible surgical scarring, and from the day after the procedure, you can wash your face excluding the area under the eyes and return quickly to daily life.

Mild swelling and a feeling of foreign-body sensation may occur, but not to the extent that it interferes with daily life. Still, we recommend resting for about one day.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

After sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with extensive experience in various clinical cases,

a personalized 1:1 plan is established. A fine incision is then made below the conjunctiva to remove unnecessary fat, and the orbital septum is tightened and fixed to the periosteum for reinforcement before the incision is sutured.

Through the above procedure, you can achieve a more youthful eye appearance, a smoother under-eye area, improved wrinkles under the eyes and around the eyes,

improvement of hollowness under the eyes, and improvement of dark, dull dark circles!

For clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed after thorough consultation.

What is septum reinforcement?

Earlier, during the surgical process, I mentioned that 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 be shorter or the risk of recurrence may be higher.

By fixing it tightly to the periosteum, the maintenance period is increased and side effects are minimized,

which is why there are many positive reviews and why it is DM Plastic Surgery’s technique.
