Under-Eye Surgery

Brighten the under-eye area to create a youthful, vibrant eye appearance

YEROM Under-Eye Surgery

Bright, radiant eyes influence a person's first impression. When the eye area is dark and dull due to aging or congenital causes, one may appear tired or older.

Through under-eye surgery at Yerom Plastic Surgery, unnecessary under-eye fat is removed to create a bright, youthful eye appearance.

Brighten dark, dull under-eye areas! Illuminate the under-eye area for a more vibrant, youthful-looking effect

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

Under-eye surgery at Yerom Plastic Surgery combines the delicate surgical skill of a female board-certified plastic surgeon with 18 years of experience and aesthetic expertise to create bright, beautiful eye areas. Because the procedure is performed through the inner conjunctiva of the eye, scarring is minimized and recovery can be faster.

Under-Eye Fat Removal

Transforms shadowed eyes into bright, radiant eyes!

Bulging fat beneath the eyes can create a tired appearance and look like under-eye shadows, becoming a cause of dark circles and making the face appear less vibrant.

Under-eye fat removal is a procedure performed through the inner conjunctiva of the eyelid to effectively remove fat from areas where under-eye fat protrudes.

Scars are barely visible, and swelling typically subsides within 2–3 days, allowing for quick 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 removal and under-eye fat repositioning can be performed together to create brighter, more radiant, and vibrant-looking eyes.

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 at the assessed location.

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

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Correct dull under-eye areas for vibrant, bright eyes!

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

Thick fat accumulated beneath the eyes is positioned around the orbital bone, or fat that is concentrated and developed on one side is smoothly distributed around the eye area without uneven contours, making the eye area brighter and smoother. Yerom Plastic Surgery's under-eye fat repositioning procedure effectively redistributes fat around the eyes for a smooth result without indentations, reducing 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 for treatment design.

❷ Incision: The conjunctiva inside the eyelid is incised beneath the eyes according to the treatment design.

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

Under-Eye Fat Grafting

Add fullness beneath the eyes for vibrant, youthful-looking eyes!

Aegyo-sal, the naturally full area directly beneath the eyes, protrudes when smiling and can create a cute, youthful-looking effect.

When the under-eye area is deeply hollow or flat, it can create a tired and aged appearance. Adding volume with autologous fat to create under-eye aegyo-sal can provide a more youthful-looking effect. For those with flat under-eye areas, many fine lines, or a lack of 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 vibrant, youthful-looking eyes.

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

Under-Eye Fat Grafting Procedure

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

Before under-eye surgery, Yerom Plastic Surgery accurately evaluates each individual's eye condition, including under-eye fat distribution, pigmentation, skin thickness, skin elasticity, and degree of eye protrusion, to recommend a personalized under-eye surgical method.
