Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning: Let’s Escape a Dark and Dull Impression!

My under-eye dark circles and puffy under-eyes stand out even more under 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,

and when the 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.

Aging that is already in progress cannot be stopped, and wrinkles and protruding fat that have already formed are difficult to improve naturally,

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

When a bulging fat pocket under the eyes and tear troughs appear due to aging, you can look tired and older, so quick improvement is needed. Today, I’m going to introduce a procedure that can help brighten the eye area and improve skin wrinkles :D

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

this is the type that needs the lower eyelid fat repositioning mentioned earlier,

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

What is lower eyelid fat repositioning?

Lower eyelid 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 protrude. It can brighten dark, wrinkle-prone, and tired-looking under-eyes, and is an eye surgery that can also create a younger-looking image.

However, because this is a surgery performed on the under-eye area where blood vessels and nerves pass, 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 is mostly caused by reduced elasticity due to 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 as well, creating a bright and clean impression along with a younger-looking effect, it is one of the procedures that many people choose regardless of age or gender.

DM Plastic Surgery’s Know-How in Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

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

If you are worried that aegyo-sal, the tissue that is an important element of a youthful eye area and stands out when smiling, will disappear because of surgery, you do not need to worry, because under-eye fat and aegyo-sal are anatomically different areas! The under-eye fat is tissue that protrudes below it, and DM Plastic Surgery’s lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery preserves your own aegyo-sal as it is; in fact, after surgery, aegyo-sal may appear more defined, allowing for a more natural and attractive eye area.

The surgical scar is almost not visible to the naked eye, and you can wash your face and quickly return to daily life starting the day after the procedure, except around the eyes. Some swelling and a feeling of foreign body sensation may occur, but it is not severe enough to interfere with daily life; however, we recommend resting for about a day.

How is lower eyelid fat repositioning performed?

After establishing a 1:1 customized plan through sufficient consultation with a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience, a tiny incision is made below the conjunctiva to remove unnecessary fat, and then the orbital septum is tightly fixed to the periosteum to strengthen it before the incision is closed.

Through the above procedure, you can expect effects such as a younger-looking eye area, smoother changes under the eyes, improvement in wrinkles under and around the eyes, improvement in hollows under the eyes, and improvement in dark, dull dark circles! To achieve clear improvement and highly satisfying results, the procedure should be performed after sufficient consultation.

What is septal reinforcement?

Earlier, I mentioned during the surgical process 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 likelihood 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 good reviews and it is one of DM Plastic Surgery’s areas of expertise.
