Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Cheek Lift Under-Eye Surgery is a combined procedure that repositions protruding under-eye fat into hollow areas through the lower eyelid conjunctiva and reinforces the septum, while adding a Thread Lift and micro Fat Grafting to improve both under-eye sagging and midface sagging. If there is significant skin laxity, lower blepharoplasty involving a skin incision may be considered.

Lift the Under Eye and Midface at the Same Time Along with Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning, sagging cheek fat pads are lifted and secured with a Thread Lift, while areas lacking fat are filled with Fat Grafting to improve both under-eye sagging and midface sagging. · Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning, which moves protruding fat into hollow areas · Thread Lift to lift midface tissues · Under-eye micro Fat Grafting for hollowing and dark circles caused by insufficient fat

Recommended For

· Those with protruding under-eye fat · Those whose Tear Troughs appear hollow and dark · Those with both under-eye fat and dark circles · Those who look older due to under-eye fat · Those who want a refreshed, bright, youthful-looking eye area

What Makes RNWOOD Cheek Lift Under-Eye Surgery Special

Point 1. Under-Eye Fat Fixation and Septal Reinforcement

The stretched orbital septum is reinforced and under-eye fat is secured to improve protrusion and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Point 2. A Natural, Youthful Eye Area and Improved Overall Appearance

Surgery through the lower eyelid conjunctiva creates a natural, youthful-looking eye area and appearance without an unnatural look.

Point 3. Midface Lifting

Lifting the sagging midface helps prevent the cheeks from appearing widened and also improves the nasolabial area.

Which Procedure Is Right for Me?

Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

· For patients in their 20s–30s with good skin elasticity · Incision through the lower eyelid conjunctiva (inner eyelid mucosa) · Relatively limited correction area · No skin removal, resulting in less concern about external scars

Lower Blepharoplasty

· For patients in their 40s–60s with reduced skin elasticity · Incision in the under-eye skin · Extensive correction possible · Skin removal when there is significant skin laxity

Cases by Age Group

· 20s, protrusion type (under-eye bulging, dark circles) → Simple Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning · 30s–40s, hollow type (under-eye hollowing, under-eye sagging) → Cheek Lift Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning · 50s–60s, combined type (under-eye hollowing, wrinkles, grooves) → Cheek Lift Lower Blepharoplasty for middle-aged patients

Surgical Procedure

STEP 1. Conjunctival Incision

The procedure begins by accessing through the lower eyelid conjunctiva (inner eyelid mucosa), without making an external skin incision.

STEP 2. Tear Trough Adhesion Release

Adhesions in the Tear Trough area are released to create space for fat repositioning.

STEP 3. Fat Repositioning

Protruding under-eye fat is moved and repositioned into hollow areas.

STEP 4. Septal Reinforcement & Fat Fixation

The stretched septum is reinforced, and the repositioned fat is secured to help prevent recurrence.

Surgery Information

| Surgery time: About 1 hour | Anesthesia: Local anesthesia with sedation | Recovery period: 5–7 days | Suture removal: Not required | Follow-up visits: 1–2 times

Pre- and Post-Operative Precautions

Before Surgery

· During the consultation, we assess under-eye skin and fat condition, hollow areas, eyelid position, support tissue condition, left-right asymmetry, health status, medications, nicotine exposure, and surgical history. · Please inform us in advance if you have Dry Eye Disease or eyelid laxity, as symptoms may worsen. Depending on your eye health, surgery may be postponed or not recommended.

After Surgery

· Procedures performed through the conjunctiva generally use sutures that do not leave visible scars. · For patients traveling from overseas, the length of stay will be advised according to individual recovery status. When combined with other Lifting procedures, a stay of 7–10 days is generally recommended.

Please Be Sure to Check

After Cheek Lift Under-Eye Surgery, swelling, bruising, Dry Eye Disease, tearing, conjunctival redness, changes in eyelid position, and asymmetry may occur. In rare cases, decreased vision may occur due to orbital bleeding or blood vessel injury. Dark Circle Correction, Tear Troughs, skin laxity, pigmentation, and fine wrinkles may not be corrected by surgery alone. The surgical method and results may vary depending on the individual’s condition and should be determined through consultation with a specialist.
