If people always say you look tired because of dark, uneven under-eyes?

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

My under-eye dark circles and puffiness become even more noticeable in the bright sunlight 😨

Among the many causes of dark circles are vascular visibility 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 blood flow and making dark circles worse.

Ongoing aging cannot be stopped, and wrinkles and protruding fat that have already formed are difficult to improve naturally.

It may have been difficult to improve with various home care methods such as cosmetics and diet management ㅠㅠ

When aging causes bulging fat pads under the eyes and tear troughs, it makes you look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, we are introducing 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, then this is the type that needs 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 method that improves this condition when aging weakens the septum surrounding the under-eye fat, causing the lower eyelid to sag or the fat to bulge outward.

It can brighten dark, tired-looking under-eyes and improve wrinkles, making the eyes look more youthful.

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

Under-eye fat mostly appears due to reduced elasticity from aging, but symptoms can occur regardless of age, and in fact, more patients are in their 20s and 30s.

Because it improves eye-area elasticity and fine wrinkles as well, creating a bright and clean impression along with a more youthful look, it is one of the most common procedures regardless of age or gender.

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

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery 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 helps reduce the chance of recurrence.

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, the tissue that is an important part of a youthful eye appearance and becomes more noticeable when smiling, might disappear because of surgery, don’t 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 keeps your own aegyo-sal intact, and in fact can make the aegyo-sal look more defined after surgery, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye shape.

There is almost no visible surgical scarring, and from the 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 foreign-body sensation may occur, but it should not interfere with daily activities. However, we recommend resting for about one day.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

After a thorough consultation with a plastic surgery specialist who has extensive clinical experience, a personalized 1:1 plan is established. A tiny incision is made below the conjunctiva to remove unnecessary fat, then the orbital septum is tightened and reinforced by securing it to the periosteum, and the incision is closed.

Through the above procedure, you can expect a more youthful eye appearance, smoother under-eye changes, improvement in wrinkles under and around the eyes, improvement in hollowness under the eyes, and improvement in dark, dull dark circles! For clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed only after sufficient consultation.

What is septum reinforcement?

Earlier, during the surgical process, we mentioned pulling the orbital septum and fixing it to the periosteum. This is because if only the under-eye fat is repositioned, the maintenance period may be shorter and the likelihood of recurrence higher. By securing it tightly 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.
