Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

This procedure smooths and refines the Under Eye area by evenly repositioning protruding under-eye fat into hollow areas rather than removing it. It is performed through the conjunctiva (inside the eye), and the stretched orbital septum is tightened and secured to help maintain the contour. It is suitable for those whose Under Eye area appears bulging or hollow, resulting in a tired appearance.

Recommended for

· Excessively protruding under-eye fat · A hollow Under Eye area with visible blood vessels that creates a tired appearance · Under-eye wrinkles that make you look older · An uneven Under Eye area that makes the eye contour appear unrefined

Why reposition fat instead of removing it?

Fat removal or grafting

Fat repositioning

There is no concern about losing nearby fat due to excessive fat removal or about a low survival rate of grafted fat. Because the existing fat is used to reshape the area, the results have good longevity without the possibility of fat loss.

Features of Banobagi Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Point 1. Reduce bulges and fill hollow areas

Existing under-eye fat is used and appropriately repositioned from protruding areas to hollow areas.

Point 2. Tighten the orbital septum to prevent recurrence

The orbital septum is a membrane that surrounds the under-eye fat tissue and supports its shape. When it is stretched, under-eye fat may protrude. Banobagi tightens and secures the stretched orbital septum to help maintain the contour for longer.

Point 3. Natural-looking eyes without visible surgical traces

The procedure is performed through the inner conjunctiva, leaving no visible surgical traces and creating a natural-looking eye contour with long-lasting results.

“Reduce the bulging areas and fill the hollow areas.” Changes in the shape of under-eye fat cause the Under Eye area to become bulging, hollow, and dull. As these symptoms can create a dark impression and contribute to Presbyopia, they can be improved through Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning.

Surgical Procedure

STEP 1. Assessment and design

The condition of the Under Eye area is assessed, and the location and shape of the fat to be repositioned are designed.

STEP 2. Conjunctival incision

A small incision is made in the conjunctiva inside the eye.

STEP 3. Fat repositioning and orbital septum fixation

The uneven fat is evenly repositioned, then the orbital septum is tightened to prevent recurrence.

STEP 4. Completion

The dark, dull Under Eye area is brightened.

Pre- and Post-Operative Precautions

Before surgery

· Fasting for 8 hours before surgery is required. · Please inform us in advance if you have any health concerns, such as a cold or respiratory illness. · Please inform us of any past or current medical conditions, allergic reactions, and medications you are taking.

After surgery

· Swelling is most severe 3–4 days after surgery. Applying cold packs for up to 48 hours after surgery can help reduce bleeding and swelling. · Apply cold compresses gently for one week. After one week, it is recommended to alternate warm and cold compresses. Please avoid rubbing or touching your eyes. · Sutures are generally removed after 1–5 days for the Suture method, 3–5 days for Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery, and 5–6 days for Incisional Double Eyelid Revision (5–7 days if Epicanthoplasty was also performed). · Take care not to get water on the wounds around the eyes for one week. Sauna use is permitted after 3 weeks. · Do not wear contact lenses for at least 3–5 days after surgery, and wearing glasses for approximately one month is recommended. · Makeup on the surgical area is recommended from approximately 7–14 days after surgery. · Avoid alcohol and smoking for one month. Strenuous exercise and massage around the eyes may be resumed after at least one month. · If pain suddenly worsens with a sensation of heat after surgery, please contact the hospital immediately, even if it is not your scheduled appointment date.
