Improving Uneven Under-Eye Contours That Ruin Your Impression with Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

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

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

Among the many causes of dark circles are visible blood vessels due to under-eye fat or thin skin, or poor lifestyle habits, and when the under-eye fat becomes puffy, blood flow disruption in the orbicularis oculi muscle can occur, increasing dark reddish 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.

It may have been difficult to improve them with various at-home care methods such as skincare products and diet management ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pads and tear troughs under the eyes, it can make you look tired and older, so a quick improvement is needed. Today, I’d like to introduce a surgery that can help brighten the eyes and improve skin wrinkles :D

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

this is one of the cases that needs 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 procedure that improves this condition when, due to aging, the strength of the septum surrounding the under-eye fat weakens, causing the lower part of the eyelid to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

It is an eye surgery that can brighten the wrinkles and the dark, tired-looking area under the eyes, helping create a more youthful-looking appearance.

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

Under-eye fat usually appears because elasticity decreases with aging, but symptoms can occur regardless of age, and in fact, there are more patients in their 20s and 30s.

Because it improves eye-area elasticity and fine lines as well, while creating a brighter, clearer impression and a more youthful effect, it is one of the most commonly performed surgeries regardless of age or gender.

DM Plastic Surgery’s expertise in under-eye fat repositioning

Under-eye fat repositioning improves dark circles by properly repositioning the under-eye fat toward the tear trough, and by fixing the orbital septum as well, a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience can help reduce the chance of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, the small under-eye area that is an important part of a youthful eye and stands out when smiling, may disappear after 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 preserves your original aegyo-sal. 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 scarring to the naked eye, and from the day after the procedure, you can wash your face excluding the area under the eyes and return to daily life quickly. There may be slight swelling and a feeling of discomfort, but it is not enough to interfere with daily life; however, we recommend resting for about a day.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

After sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive clinical experience, a customized 1:1 plan is established. Then, a tiny incision is made below the conjunctiva to remove unnecessary fat, after which the orbital septum is tightened and fixed to the periosteum to reinforce it, and the incision is sutured closed.

Through the procedure above, you can expect a more youthful eye shape, a smoother under-eye area, improved wrinkles under the eyes and around the eyes, improvement of hollowness under the eyes, and a reduction in dark, dull dark circles! For clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be carried out after thorough consultation.

What is septal reinforcement?

As mentioned earlier during the surgical process, the orbital septum is pulled and fixed to the periosteum, because if only the under-eye fat is repositioned, the duration of the result may be shorter and 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 why this is one of DM Plastic Surgery’s strengths.
