Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning is a procedure in which the inner conjunctiva of the eye is incised, a portion of protruding Under Eye fat is removed, and the remaining fat is repositioned into hollowed areas. It reinforces the loosened orbital septum to reduce recurrence and is suitable for those who appear tired due to Under Eye bulging and shadows.

Recommended for

· Those with an uneven-looking Under Eye area · Those concerned about a dark, tired-looking appearance · Those with prominently protruding Under Eye fat · Those who want more vibrant-looking eyes

Features of AB Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Point 1. Quick return to daily activities

By incising the inner conjunctiva of the eye rather than the skin, swelling, bruising, and scarring are minimized.

Point 2. A smooth Under Eye area maintained without recurrence

The underlying cause is addressed by firmly restoring and securing the loosened orbital septum. The orbital septum is a membrane that surrounds Under Eye fat and supports its shape.

Benefits of AB Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

Point 1. Preserves existing Under-eye fullness

Only unnecessary fat is precisely removed without affecting the orbicularis oculi muscle, preserving the volume of Under-eye fullness.

Point 2. Personalized Under Eye design

Just as every person looks different, every Under Eye area is different. A one-on-one customized plan is established through a detailed assessment of age, symptoms, eye shape, skin thickness, and Under Eye Soft Tissue.

Point 3. Lift sagging areas and fill hollow areas

Improves fine Under Eye wrinkles and Dark Circle Correction for a more youthful appearance, while addressing both sagging and hollow areas to add firmness around the eyes.

Under Eye area in your 20s–30s

· Gradually protruding orbital fat, causing Under Eye bulging · Dark Circle Correction caused by a hollow Tear Trough · Increasing fine Under Eye wrinkles After minimally removing unnecessary fat, the remaining fat is repositioned appropriately to brighten the Under Eye area.

Under Eye area in your 40s–50s

· Sagging orbital fat and a pronounced Tear Trough · Excessively tired appearance due to Tear Trough skin pigmentation · Deepening Under Eye wrinkles After removing a portion of sagging Under Eye fat, the remaining fat is repositioned near the front cheekbones to create a more vibrant, youthful appearance.

Pre- and Postoperative Precautions

Before surgery

· Please inform us in advance if you have underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid disease; medication allergies; or a history of heart, lung, liver, kidney, or brain-related surgery. An anesthesiology consultation and additional tests may be performed if necessary. · Please stop taking aspirin, painkillers, hormonal medications, herbal medicines, and vitamin supplements starting 1 week before surgery. Please bring any medications you are currently taking on the day of surgery. · Smoking delays recovery and increases the risk of infection and anesthesia-related complications. Stop smoking from the day you decide to undergo surgery, and stop drinking alcohol 1 week before surgery. · Do not eat or drink, including water, candy, or gum, for 10 hours before surgery. · Remove all nail polish and gel nails, and do not wear contact lenses or makeup on the day of surgery. Please wear comfortable clothing with front buttons. · Please notify us in advance if you develop a high fever, cough, or cold symptoms within 1 week before surgery, or if your menstrual period overlaps with the surgery date. · You may not drive yourself on the day of surgery.

After surgery

· For 3–4 days after surgery, sleeping with your head elevated above your heart may help reduce swelling. · Apply cold compresses only for the first 3 days after surgery. Major swelling subsides within 1 week, while residual swelling may last 1–3 months. · Sutures are removed 3–10 days after surgery depending on the condition of the wound. Do not rub or squeeze your eyes forcefully, and do not forcibly remove scabs. · Face washing and light makeup are allowed from the day after suture removal. Heavy eye makeup and contact lenses are permitted after 3 weeks. Avoid saunas and swimming for 1 month. · Light exercise is allowed after 1 week, and strenuous exercise after 1 month. · Alcohol and smoking are prohibited for 1 month, as they may cause inflammation and delay recovery. · The final eye contour settles over 3–6 months after surgery.
