[Lari Plastic Surgery] The Best Surgery to Combine with Lateral Canthoplasty and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Sometimes, a patient comes in for a consultation about lateral canthoplasty

and ends up hearing about under-eye fat repositioning, which they had not expected at all.

Other clinics did not mention it, so why are you saying I should have under-eye fat repositioning surgery together with it?!

There is a reason for that.

A simple lateral canthoplasty may be fine,

but if you are having a complex lateral canthoplasty that also lowers the outer corner of the eye, and there is fat under the eye,

the area under the eye may look much puffier than before after the lateral canthoplasty,

so combining it with under-eye fat repositioning can make the widening effect appear more effectively.

However, even aside from this reason,

if the fat layer under the eye protrudes noticeably and does not look good,

it is better to have under-eye fat repositioning together with lateral canthoplasty.

One disappointing point is that even when viewed in a 2D photo rather than a video,

after under-eye fat repositioning surgery, the puffiness under the eyes is gone and the result looks much better,

but the discoloration present under the eyes does not improve and remains slightly.

After under-eye fat repositioning surgery,

some people see improvement in dark circles under the eyes,

but others still have them remaining like this.

For people whose under-eyes look dark because the puffiness of the fat creates shadows and wrinkles,

the dark appearance under the eyes generally improves,

but for those whose under-eye skin color itself has changed due to pigmentation,

even if under-eye fat repositioning is performed,

the dark areas under the eyes may not improve noticeably,

so this should also be considered.
