Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

This procedure improves the Under Eye area by repositioning protruding fat beneath the eyes toward the hollow Tear Trough and tightening and securing the lax orbital septum. It is performed through an incision inside the conjunctiva, leaving no visible external scar and requiring no stitch removal, while preserving under-eye fullness (orbicularis oculi muscle).

Recommended for the following patients

· Those with protruding under-eye fat that makes them look tired · Those with deeply hollow Tear Troughs that make the area appear dark · Those concerned about Dark Circle Correction caused by under-eye fat · Those concerned about unevenness and fine lines beneath the eyes

View Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning corrects dark Under Eye areas to brighten the Face! Under-eye fat that has protruded due to age-related loss of elasticity is appropriately repositioned, and the orbital septum is tightened and secured to create a smoother Under Eye area.

Features of View Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Point 1. Naturally brighter Under Eye area without scar concerns

An incision is made through the inner conjunctiva without an external skin incision, so scars are not visible and stitch removal is unnecessary, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.

Point 2. Without concerns about losing under-eye fullness

Only unnecessary fat in the under-eye fat pads is removed and repositioned without disturbing the orbicularis oculi muscle (the circular muscle around the eye that opens and closes the eyelids), preserving under-eye fullness.

Point 3. Reduced recurrence through orbital septum reinforcement

The repositioned fat is placed beneath the periosteum, the strongest membrane, and the lax orbital septum (the membrane that surrounds and supports the shape of under-eye fat tissue) is securely tightened, significantly reducing the possibility of recurrence.

Point 4. A rejuvenating effect that improves fine lines

Fat in sagging and hollow areas is repositioned in a balanced manner to smooth uneven Under Eye contours and improve fine lines, creating a more youthful appearance.

Surgical Method

A small incision is made inside the conjunctiva to release unnecessary ligaments connecting the muscles, skin, and bone beneath the orbital fat. After Dissection of the Tear Trough area, the fat is repositioned to the appropriate location for a smooth, even contour and secured with sutures. If there is excess fat, unnecessary fat is removed as well.

STEP 1. Assessment and design

After assessing areas requiring improvement, such as under-eye fat and the Tear Trough, the location and shape of the fat to be repositioned are designed.

STEP 2. Inner conjunctival incision

An incision is made inside the conjunctiva so that no scar is visible.

STEP 3. Fat repositioning

Protruding fat is smoothly repositioned toward the hollow Tear Trough border.

STEP 4. Fixation and septum reinforcement

After securing the fat pad to the periosteum, the septum is reinforced to create a smooth Under Eye area.

Surgery Information

| Surgery time: From 30 minutes | Anesthesia: Local or sedation anesthesia | Hospitalization: None | Stitch removal: Not required | Recovery period: Return to daily activities immediately

Postoperative Precautions

· Please avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously for approximately one week after surgery. · Prolonged sun exposure to bruised areas may cause hyperpigmentation, so apply sunscreen thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What age groups commonly undergo this procedure?

There is no fixed age group, as some people have naturally prominent under-eye fat or deep Tear Troughs from a young age. The procedure is commonly performed for patients from their 20s through their 40s and 50s.

Q. Can Dark Circle Correction be achieved as well?

Dark circles caused by accumulated and sagging under-eye fat can be improved with Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning.

Q. Is there a concern about recurrence?

Because displaced fat is repositioned beneath the periosteum, the strongest membrane, and the stretched septum is securely tightened and fixed, the likelihood of recurrence is significantly reduced.
