Hello~

your beauty universe! This is Dr. Shim Jeong-hwan, Head Director of Wevers Plastic Surgery :)

Today, I would like to review the case of a male patient who was concerned about

sunken under-eyes and dark circles.

​

Before Surgery

He is a male in his late 20s who had almost no bulging under-eye fat but severe hollowness.

With sunken under-eyes and severe pigmentation, he had a tired and depressed-looking impression,

which caused him a lot of stress, and he wanted to improve his sunken under-eyes.

​

​

Consultation and Surgical Method

Through under-eye fat repositioning, we released the strong adhesion in the tear trough area,

and then planned to fill the volume through fat grafting so that the area wouldn't look hollow.

​

​

1 Week After Surgery

Since it's only the 7th day, there is still some swelling,

and for fat grafting, the approximate shape can be confirmed after 2 weeks.

It looks slightly bulging now, but it will subside appropriately,

and even though the skin tone itself hasn't directly changed, it gives a much brighter feeling.

​

In this post, we reviewed a case of under-eye fat repositioning and under-eye fat grafting.

We will continue to provide more detailed information through various case reviews in the future.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we will answer them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are under-eye hollows and dark circles surgically treated?

Under-eye hollows and dark circles are improved by performing under-eye fat repositioning and fat grafting together. First, under-eye fat repositioning is used to release strong adhesions in the tear trough area, and then fat grafting fills the lacking volume to prevent a hollow appearance.

When does the swelling subside after surgery?

It takes approximately 2 weeks to confirm the overall shape. In the first week after surgery, there may still be some swelling, making the under-eye area appear slightly convex, but over time, it will naturally reduce to an appropriate size.

Does under-eye fat grafting brighten the skin tone?

Yes, it gives the effect of making the skin tone appear much brighter. While the surgery does not directly change the skin tone itself, filling the hollow volume under the eyes and improving dark circles can make the overall impression appear brighter.

Is surgery necessary even if there is no bulging fat under the eyes?

Yes, even without bulging fat, surgery may be necessary if the hollowness is severe. As in the case of the 20-year-old male in the main text, if there is almost no under-eye fat but the hollowness and pigmentation make the impression look tired and gloomy, fat grafting and repositioning can be helpful.
