Hello~

your beauty universe! I am Dr. Park Sun-hee of Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💚

Typical signs of aging include under-eye fat, under-eye wrinkles, and dark circles.

Under-eye fat bulges out as we age.

The reason the under-eye area becomes bulging is because the orbital septum supporting the fat becomes loose.

​

To improve this symptom, there is under-eye surgery.

Under-eye surgery is largely divided into under-eye fat repositioning and lower blepharoplasty.

​

Today, let's find out the difference between lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning.

​

​What is the difference between lower blepharoplasty and under-eye fat repositioning?

Both are under-eye plastic surgery methods.

​

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that makes a skin incision to remove the bulging fat of the lower eyelid and

eliminates the sunken areas of the tear trough.

Also, while removing sagging skin, it fixes the stretched muscles to the solid periosteum,

making the lower eyelid look elastic.

​

Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgical method that operates on under-eye fat through the conjunctiva.

This surgery is the same as lower blepharoplasty in that it operates on under-eye fat, but

it cannot excise sagging skin.

Therefore, it is highly effective for those who have no skin sagging and only have bulging fat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do under-eye fat bulges appear as we age?

It's because the orbital septum, which supports the under-eye fat, loosens. As aging progresses, the strength of the orbital septum weakens, causing fat to push forward, resulting in under-eye bulges accompanied by symptoms like wrinkles and dark circles.

How is lower blepharoplasty performed?

Lower blepharoplasty is performed through a skin incision. It is a surgery that removes the bulging fat from the lower eyelid, fills the tear trough, excises sagging skin, and fixes the loosened muscle to the firm periosteum to improve under-eye elasticity.

Does under-eye fat repositioning surgery involve skin incision?

No, it is performed through the conjunctiva without a skin incision. Since the under-eye fat is operated on by accessing through the inside of the conjunctiva, there are no visible scars, but it is characterized by the inability to excise sagging skin.

Who benefits most from under-eye fat repositioning?

It is effective for individuals who have no skin sagging and only have bulging under-eye fat. Because it is a surgical method that cannot involve skin excision, lower blepharoplasty may be more suitable if skin laxity is also present.
