Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jung-hwan, Head Director of Weavers Plastic Surgery :)💎

The eye area becomes more concerning as aging progresses!

As we age, the skin elasticity of the surrounding tissues in the eye area gradually decreases, causing sagging and wrinkles to appear,

and various problems can occur, such as the descent of under-eye fat.

Today, I would like to review a case of a patient who visited our clinic specifically for bulging under-eye fat.

​

Before Surgery

This patient is a male in his 30s

who visited us wanting to improve his tired-looking impression caused by the bulging under his eyes.

This patient had bulging under-eye fat as well as dark circles under his eyes.

​

Consultation and Surgical Method

To improve the bulging areas caused by the under-eye fat, we preserved the aegyo-sal (under-eye roll) as much as possible,

released the tear trough ligaments, and relocated the fat to the sunken tear trough area

to flatten the hollowed areas under the eyes through repositioning.

In addition, the dark circles, which were a pre-existing complex, were also improved along with the under-eye fat, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

​

​

3 Weeks After Surgery

The previously bulging under-eye area has become flat, and the contours have smoothed out.

The dullness from the dark circles has been improved, significantly reducing the tired appearance,

and giving him a much softer overall impression.

​

Today, we looked at an under-eye fat repositioning case.

I will be back next time with another case review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the aegyo-sal (under-eye fat rolls) during under-eye fat repositioning surgery?

Yes, the surgery is performed while preserving the aegyo-sal as much as possible. In the case of the 30-year-old male in the main text, natural results were achieved by maintaining the aegyo-sal, releasing the tear trough ligament, and repositioning the fat.

Can under-eye fat repositioning improve dark circles?

Yes, you can see an improvement in dark circles. By repositioning the bulging fat and sunken areas under the eyes to be flat, shadows disappear, alleviating dull dark circles and giving a more youthful appearance.

How is under-eye fat repositioning surgery performed?

It is a method of releasing the tear trough ligament and then moving the sunken fat to the tear trough area. This effectively improves the bulging part by filling the sunken area under the eyes flat.

When can I expect to see the results after surgery?

After 3 weeks post-surgery, you can see that the under-eye boundary has become smoother and flatter. In the case presented in the main text, the tired impression was significantly softened by the 3-week mark.
