Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning

From 3,150,000 KRW/ surgery

Rather than removing under-eye fat, fat repositioning is performed. If under-eye fat is removed, the area beneath the eyes may become hollow, and if a hole develops in the fat compartment, the fat may protrude again shortly after surgery, reducing the effectiveness of the procedure. Fat repositioning involves spreading the fat evenly together with the fat compartment. This helps restore tension to the fat compartment and prevents the fat from protruding again. Because the fat is placed beyond the tear trough, it is also effective in improving the under-eye groove. Everyone has three fat pads beneath the eyes. Some clinics reposition or remove only the innermost fat pad. At our clinic, all three fat pads are repositioned, helping prevent the central and outer under-eye grooves from becoming more pronounced with age.

Eye+3I always feel good about the way the doctor treats patients with respect when I visit the clinic. I once read the doctor’s book in the waiting room, and the writing was so beautiful and touching that I even took photos of it. ^^ Anyway... As my skin has lost elasticity with age recently, I became concerned about sagging Under Eye fat, so I decided to also get Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning. I had been happy with my previous Double Eyelid Surgery Revision surgery at this clinic, so I didn’t compare other places and decided on surgery the same day I came in for my consultation. This time as well, I’m happy with the entire process, from the consultation and surgery to the results. I had surgery with confidence and no anxiety, and I’m happy that my eyes look natural and more refreshed. I’m grateful to the doctor for their expertise and consideration, and I’ll be back again. Haha Note) There was almost no pain right after surgery, and although there was quite a bit of swelling, I was able to return to daily activities right away. (I went to work wearing a mask.) I had swelling through the first week, and I think only slight swelling remained from the second week. I highly recommend this surgery to anyone concerned about Under Eye sagging. Also, I once recommended this clinic to an acquaintance who was considering Double Eyelid Surgery Revision surgery, and they also had surgery at Afternoon with really great results~~~^^Eye+2Hello, Director!! I posted a same-day review on another cafe, and the response was so good that I am posting on your cafe as well..! Haha Because of my uneven eyes, I always only took photos from one side or strained my eyes when taking pictures, but thank you for making it so I do not have to worry about that anymore. Also, the under-eye fat repositioning was truly a godsend.. Even though it was the same day, people were asking why I had so little swelling haha Right now the swelling has come up a little more than on the day of the procedure, but it will go down soon, right? I am diligently applying cold compressesㅜㅜ haha I will see you soon when I come in for my follow-up check!Eye+2I hardly have any reason to go outside..... so I wasn’t able to take a photo with makeup onㅠㅠ This time, I went out for an outing and took a photo after putting on makeup, and oh my goodness... so neat.....ㅠㅠ I’m so touched..... Since my eyes had some pigmentation, the dark circles may be a little visible before makeup!! Still, I look at least 5 years younger!! Since people don’t seem to know I had surgery, they only say that my face looks better~~ hehe Thank you, doctor!Eye+2I had a consultation and scheduled the date right away! I am very satisfied with the surgery. In less than a week, the swelling went down completely and my eyes came back to life. After having the stitches removed, I felt great because it seems to have turned out very well. ㅎEye+2As I entered my late 40s, my double eyelids started folding inward and my eyes began to droop, making me look older. A friend recommended Afternoon Plastic Surgery, so I went in for a consultation. Since it was my first surgery, I was worried my appearance might change too much or look obviously done. But the consultant and surgeon explained everything kindly, which gave me confidence, so I booked the surgery right away. They only scheduled my surgery and my niece’s on Saturday, so they didn’t rush through it. They carefully designed the line, and I even thought they were like a designer. The swelling and bruising were significant for the first week, but I recovered quickly after that. It’s been one month since my surgery. I’m very happy with how naturally it’s settling in. People around me say it turned out well and often ask which clinic I went to. Thank you~!Eye+1Hello, Doctor! It has already been a week...! At first, my eyes felt somewhat dry and uncomfortable, but now there is nothing like that at all!! My mother said that from the outside, I just look like someone who bumped into something, and that if I just tell people I bumped into something, they would not know I had surgery, ㅋㅋ she said the world has become so advanced and found it amazing ㅋㅋㅋ You told me that applying warm compresses would actually be good for the bruising, but since I am an office worker, when I get home after work, I feel too lazy, so I have not done it even once.. Still.. it seems to be improving well.. I am not recovering slowly right now, am I..? Haha I will do it tomorrow since it is the weekend..! While posting a review, may I also ask a question? It is not urgent, so rather than calling or messaging on KakaoTalk, I am posting it here I think it would be fine if you could reply whenever it is convenient for you, Doctor!!! For under-eye fat repositioning, about how long does it usually take to settle properly? Would it be fair to think of them as my own eyes after about a month?? Right now, I am trying as much as possible not to rub my eyes or do anything like that!! I am also trying not to put any strain on my eyes as much as possible! When is the season when it is usually considered fully complete and there are no more changes? Actually, on the day of the surgery, I was so nervous that my soul had practically left my body..ㅎ Oh, and I will also upload review photos! If anyone is 고민ing about under-eye fat repositioning, I think you may refer to mine.Eye+1Hello I finally had the eye surgery I had been considering since I was 20, now that I am almost in my late 30s. This is the place I found after doing extensive research both online and in person! I visited several times for exosome treatments (Please be sure to try the skin booster too it is really wonderful) and then I had a consultation for double eyelid surgery! While receiving the consultation, I became determined that I had to have the procedure done by the director. Now I am so happy with my eyes that I offer my thanks every day in the direction of Sinnonhyeon Station where the director is! I am truly writing this review because I personally wanted to (I also found out about this cafe on my own) Because I tend to swell easily, the swelling from the under-eye fat repositioning lasted quite a while. For about 2 to 3 weeks, my face was swollen like the Na'vi from Avatar. To describe my eyes before the surgery, - long eyes from front to back with an inner double eyelid and a slightly fierce eye shape - dark circles plus under-eyes that were hollow and unevenly protruding - under-eyes that were deeply sunken and shadowed, so they looked dark no matter what concealer I used Currently - my eyes look bigger and brighter, and my overall impression no longer looks fierce - the area under my eyes is firm and brighter, so I do not need to cover it with concealer Thank you, doctor! I am also grateful to your wife for helping me learn about this hospital. I will visit again for the skin booster~^^Eye+1I learned about Afternoon Plastic Surgery through a strong recommendation from an acquaintance. One side of my Double Eyelid Surgery had come undone, and it stressed me out every time I looked at it, but I didn’t have the courage to get surgery. After hearing my acquaintance’s review, though, I felt encouraged. The acquaintance who had surgery with Dr. Kim Garam looked completely natural, not awkward at all, so I asked for the information, and they strongly recommended that I see Dr. Kim Garam for Revision surgery. I trusted my acquaintance and came in for a consultation, and before I even said anything, he told me that my existing double-eyelid line suited my Face best and said he would recreate my original double-eyelid line. This was also why I chose Dr. Kim Garam right away without hesitation or comparing other places. I was worried that a new line might look awkward or too obvious. Even on the day of surgery, he was very careful with the design, and I loved it from the moment we checked the line during surgery. He must have done the surgery very meticulously because I didn’t bruise much, and since it was Revision surgery using my existing line, as the swelling started to go down, it looked completely natural and not awkward at all, so I’m very satisfied. I decided to have Revision surgery because I was stressed about the two lines overlapping, and I’m so happy with the result that I wish I’d done it sooner. Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning was because I looked tired and my Dark Circle Correction looked more pronounced, but everything was cleaned up nicely, and the fat repositioning also looks completely natural, so I’m very satisfied. My family has responded positively, saying it looks so natural that no one can tell, so I think I can confidently recommend Afternoon Plastic Surgery to others as well. Thank you so much, Doctor.Eye+1Before surgery: I had severe asymmetry, and I felt self-conscious because the space between my eyes felt too narrow and wide. The multiple eyelid creases didn’t bother me that much, but one eyelid kept coming undone, which really bothered me, so I came in. After surgery: My eyes didn’t change dramatically, but I don’t have to worry about one eyelid coming undone anymore. The multiple creases were neatly corrected into a single line, and I really like that people around me say my eyes look bigger thanks to the natural Epicanthoplasty. My detailed review of Suture method + Ptosis Correction + Epicanthoplasty + fat repositioning Post-op day 1: Once the anesthesia wore off, I felt really out of it and groggy. Since the pharmacy was about to close, I had to go there right after surgery without any time to rest. I recommend having surgery in the morning. The swelling didn’t look that noticeable, but it was a little hard to open my eyes. They felt like they had been bitten by mosquitoes, so they didn’t open well. Post-op day 5: The Epicanthoplasty stitches were pretty bothersome. The swelling had gone down compared to days 1 and 2, so I went around without a hat or glasses, but I was mistaken. I was less swollen than on days 1 and 2, not completely un-swollen lol. I was desperate to be free of it all soon. Post-op day 10: The swelling had gone down a lot, but the bruising lasted quite a while. It was manageable when covered with light base makeup. I was so happy because it seemed like everything was gradually settling into place. The Epicanthoplasty stitches were removed too, so I looked somewhat normal again. I’m still washing my face with pads and not wearing any eye makeup at all. (I’m scared the stitches might come undone..) One month after surgery: For the first time, I tried mascara, eyeliner, and glitter. My eyes looked quite open and pretty. I still have a tingling sensation under my eyes, but my doctor said it would gradually go away with time, so I felt reassured.Eye+1I originally had an In-Line Crease, but it wasn’t very visible on the outside, so my eyes looked like monolids. My eyelid-opening strength wasn’t weak, but people often told me I always looked sleepy. My eyes also looked dull in photos, which was always disappointing. The Under Eye area was also a problem. There was a part that looked like bulging fat rather than Under-eye fullness, which made the Dark Circle Correction stand out more and made me look tired. So this time, I had the Incisional method + Ptosis Correction + Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning all at once. Before surgery Above the eyes: In-Line Crease, not very visible, looked heavy and sleepy when expressionless Under the eyes: Bulging fat + shadow Dark Circle Correction, making my overall look appear dull Surgical approach Created a new crease line with the Incisional method Adjusted eyelid-opening strength with Ptosis Correction Improved shadows by redistributing the fat with Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning Recovery process There was quite a bit of bruising and swelling early on after surgery. The Under Eye bruising stayed yellow for a long time. I had my stitches removed about a week later, and the swelling gradually started going down after that. From weeks 2–3, I started getting a lot of comments from people around me. I heard often that my eyes looked much clearer. After about a month, it started looking natural, and the Under Eye shadows were definitely improved. Results My eyes look much more open than before, and makeup applies really well. The double-eyelid crease is defined but not overdone, and it has settled in to suit my Face well. The Under Eye fat is also evenly distributed, so I don’t look tired. If you have monolids or an In-Line Crease that makes your eyes look heavy, and Under Eye fat that makes your overall appearance look dull, I think it’s worth considering both procedures together. Since they improve things from multiple angles, the results are definitely noticeable. It’s only been a month so far, so I’m waiting for more swelling to go down..! Thank you so much!!

Why Afternoon Plastic Surgery specializes exclusively in eye surgery

At Afternoon Plastic Surgery, we believe that design is the most important aspect of ideal eye surgery. Design is so important in eye surgery that it is considered half of the procedure.

EYE SHAPE CASE Incisional Surgical Method

The double-buried suture method creates three loops and uses double fixation of the tarsal plate and levator palpebrae muscle. It is less likely to come undone than conventional buried suture techniques, and knots are made in the levator palpebrae muscle that opens and closes the eyes to create a natural-looking crease line like a natural double eyelid.
