Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning is a procedure that evenly repositions uneven Under Eye fat through the inner conjunctiva, reinforces the elasticity of the orbital septum surrounding the fat, and secures it beneath the periosteum. It leaves no scars on the skin and is suitable for patients with uneven Under Eye contour and reduced elasticity.

Corrects the orbital septum, fat, and muscles that cause sagging, unattractive under-eye wrinkles for a more youthful Crow's Feet area.

Recommended for

· Those concerned about uneven Under Eye contour and reduced elasticity · Those who want to improve the Under Eye area without skin scars

Why Under Eye wrinkles develop

· Fine lines caused by reduced skin elasticity · Lower eyelid bulging and dark circles caused by weakening of the lower eyelid septum · Deep Under Eye wrinkles caused by weakening of the infraorbital tissues

As aging progresses, the elasticity of the muscles and skin surrounding the Under Eye fat pads decreases, causing the fat to sag and Under Eye wrinkles to worsen. Because the Under Eye area requires careful adjustment of the multiple septa surrounding the fat, as well as the fat and muscles, simply removing sagging skin can leave wrinkles unchanged or lead to complications such as ectropion. Opera identifies each individual's causes precisely and performs customized procedures, including under-eye fat removal, Lower Blepharoplasty, and fat repositioning.

Features of Opera Under Eye Wrinkle Surgery

Point 1. Minimized surgical traces

The inner conjunctiva is used, leaving no scars on the skin.

Point 2. Preserves the natural eye shape

The amount of skin excision and degree of muscle tightening are customized to improve wrinkles and elasticity while preserving your natural eye shape.

Point 3. Fuller Under-eye fullness and firmer eye contour

As wrinkles are removed, the Under Eye fullness becomes more defined, creating a firmer eye contour. Depending on the degree of sagging, Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning or Lower Blepharoplasty is performed to create a smooth, flat Under Eye area.

Point 4. Fast recovery

The procedure is relatively quick, with less bruising and swelling, allowing for faster recovery.

Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Procedure

Uneven Under Eye fat is evenly repositioned, and the loosened orbital septum is reinforced to correct the area into a firm, smooth, flat Under Eye contour.

STEP 1. Fat repositioning

The procedure is performed through the inner conjunctiva according to the Under Eye groove and degree of elasticity.

STEP 2. Orbital septum reinforcement and fixation

The elasticity of the muscle surrounding the fat (orbital septum) is reinforced, and uneven fat pads are smoothed out and secured beneath the periosteum to prevent them from shifting again.

If the Under Eye area is prominent and skin laxity is severe, Lower Blepharoplasty may be considered.

Pre- and Post-Operative Precautions

After surgery

· Swelling or bruising around the eyes may occur for 1–2 days after surgery and will gradually subside afterward. · Apply cold compresses for approximately 6 days after surgery, then warm compresses to promote blood circulation. Place a thin towel over the eyes when applying compresses. · You may wash your face and apply makeup starting the day after suture removal. · It is recommended not to wear contact lenses for approximately 3 weeks. Wear glasses or sunglasses during this period. · Exercise other than light walks, as well as public baths, jjimjilbangs, and saunas, may be resumed 3 weeks after surgery. Light showering is possible from the following day. · Avoid sun exposure for 3 weeks after surgery and wear sunglasses when outdoors. · When sleeping, elevate your head with 2–3 pillows. For approximately 4 weeks, do not sleep on your side or face down. · Take only the pain relievers and antibiotics prescribed by the hospital. Avoid aspirin-based medications, as they may cause bleeding. · Alcohol and smoking may be resumed 3 weeks after surgery.
