Under-Eye Surgery

Brighten the under-eye area for a youthful-looking eye contour that appears bright and refreshed

YEROM Under-Eye Surgery

Bright, radiant eyes influence a person's first impression. As aging progresses or due to congenital factors, dark and dull areas around the eyes can make one appear tired or older.

With under-eye surgery at Yerom Plastic Surgery, unnecessary under-eye fat is removed to create a bright, radiant, youthful-looking eye contour.

Brighten dark, dull under-eye areas! Illuminate the under-eye area for a refreshed, younger-looking appearance

When the membrane surrounding the fat beneath the skin under the eyes weakens and sags, causing fat to protrude and cast under-eye shadows, or when thin under-eye skin reveals subcutaneous veins, making the area appear dark, under-eye fat removal or under-eye fat repositioning is needed to effectively improve dark circles. In addition, when the under-eye area appears hollow due to insufficient fat, under-eye fat grafting can brighten the under-eye area and help improve fine lines. Various under-eye surgical techniques are performed depending on the cause of dark circles.

Under-eye surgery at Yerom Plastic Surgery features meticulous surgery by a female board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience and aesthetic expertise to create brighter, more beautiful eye areas. Because the procedure is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eye, scarring is minimized and recovery can be faster.

Under-Eye Fat Removal

Transforms shadowed eyes into bright, radiant eyes!

Bulging fat under the eyes can create a tired impression and make it look as though there are shadows, becoming a cause of dark circles and making the face appear less refreshed.

Under-eye fat removal is a surgical method performed through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid to effectively remove fat from areas where under-eye fat protrudes.

Scars are nearly invisible, and swelling generally subsides within 2–3 days, allowing for rapid and effective improvement of under-eye fat and dark circles.

If under-eye fat sagging is severe or hollow areas under the eyes are a concern, under-eye fat repositioning can be performed at the same time as under-eye fat removal to create a brighter, more radiant, refreshed eye contour.

Under-Eye Fat Removal Procedure

❶ Diagnosis: The extent of under-eye fat is assessed, and the location of fat to be removed is designed.

❷ Incision: A minimal incision is made in the conjunctiva on the inner side of the under-eye area.

❸ Fat Removal: Excess under-eye fat is removed to refine the under-eye area.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Correct dull under-eye areas for a refreshed, bright eye contour!

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure that removes protruding under-eye fat while moving it to hollow areas beneath the eyes to brighten the under-eye area.

Thick accumulations of under-eye fat are positioned around the orbital bone, or unevenly developed fat concentrated on one side is smoothly redistributed around the eye area without irregular contours, making the eye area brighter and smoother. Yerom Plastic Surgery's under-eye fat repositioning effectively redistributes fat around the eyes for a smooth, hollow-free appearance, eliminating under-eye shadows while flattening the under-eye area to improve dark circles.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Procedure

❶ Diagnosis: The extent of protruding under-eye fat and the tear trough are assessed to create a design.

❷ Incision: The conjunctiva inside the eyelid is incised according to the under-eye design.

❸ Repositioning: After making the internal incision, the tear trough portion of the fat pad is moved downward and secured.

Under-Eye Fat Grafting

Add fullness to the under-eye area for a refreshed, youthful-looking eye contour!

The aegyo-sal, the naturally full area directly beneath the eyes, becomes more prominent when smiling and can create a cute, youthful-looking appearance.

If the under-eye area is deeply hollow or flat, it can create a tired, older-looking impression. Adding volume with autologous fat to create under-eye aegyo-sal can provide a youthful-looking effect. For those with flat under-eye areas, many fine lines, or no under-eye fullness that makes them look tired and older, a simple Yerom under-eye fat grafting procedure (under-eye aegyo-sal surgery) can create a refreshed, youthful-looking eye contour.

Alternatively, it can be combined with under-eye fat repositioning surgery to create a more natural and refreshed eye area.

Under-Eye Fat Grafting Procedure

❶ Diagnosis: The extent of under-eye fat is assessed to design the desired under-eye volume.

❷ Incision: A minimal incision is made in the conjunctiva on the inner side of the under-eye area according to the design.

❸ Grafting: Filler or autologous fat is injected into hollow under-eye areas to restore volume.
