[Rari Plastic Surgery] Differences in Facial Impression Before and After Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Surgery in Middle Age



When you look at middle-aged and older men, you can often see that the area under the eyes is more bulged and protruding compared to women.

That is not to say women do not experience this, but compared with women who take care of themselves,

it is true that there are more men who do not.

 By the time you reach this age, the skin also begins to sag somewhat, and the fat under the eyes also sags, leading many people to consider lower eyelid fat repositioning.

If there is significant skin laxity along with the fat, lower blepharoplasty may also be considered.



 The patient we are looking at today was in an ambiguous condition somewhere between lower eyelid fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty.

So, after surgery, even if there would be a slight wrinkle, the patient chose lower eyelid fat repositioning, which does not leave a scar.

 In fact, with lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery, there are many cases where the difference before and after surgery is not felt very strongly.

This is because it is not a dynamic or dramatic change like creating or removing double eyelids.

However, when you look at the overall impression of the face, you can see a change that somehow feels different.



 If you look at the change in lower eyelid fat repositioning with the naked eye, the difference is especially noticeable when looking downward.

The under-eye area, which looked shadowed because of the protruding fat before surgery,

became smooth after surgery, and as the shadow disappeared, the face as a whole felt brighter.

 As mentioned above, since the eye condition was somewhere between lower eyelid fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty,

now that the surgery was performed as lower eyelid fat repositioning, the bulging of the protruding fat under the eyes has clearly improved,

but depending on the case, slight wrinkles may form under the eyes, where the fat was removed.



 In the early period after surgery, the under-eye area may feel slightly hollow,

but as time passes and the surgical area recovers, the muscles and tissue under the eyes settle into place,

becoming smooth so that it does not look excessively sunken.

 Lower eyelid fat repositioning, which is performed by making an incision in the conjunctiva on the inside of the lower eyelid, can be performed regardless of age if there is a lot of protruding fat under the eyes, but lower eyelid fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty are determined depending on the degree of fat protrusion and skin laxity. Please receive an accurate diagnosis through a consultation before proceeding with surgery!
