Treatment Overview
Fat Grafting Lower Blepharoplasty is a specialized eye rejuvenation surgery that combines lower eyelid correction with fat transfer. Instead of simply removing under-eye fat, Korean surgeons redistribute or graft fat to smooth hollows, reduce puffiness, and restore youthful volume. This advanced approach prevents a “hollowed-out” look and creates a natural, refreshed appearance. Korea is globally recognized for refining this method, ensuring results that are harmonious, long-lasting, and scar-minimized.
Purpose & Benefits
- Corrects under-eye bags and puffiness
- Fills tear trough hollows for a youthful look
- Restores lost volume under the eyes
- Prevents a tired or sunken appearance
- Enhances facial harmony and smooth under-eye contour
- Long-lasting improvement compared to filler-only treatments
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with under-eye bags and dark shadows
- Those with volume loss or hollowness under the eyes
- Individuals with early to moderate lower eyelid aging
- Patients seeking a natural, permanent solution instead of fillers
- Adults in their 30s–50s who want to look younger and refreshed
Possible Risks & Complications
While generally safe, risks may include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Uneven fat absorption (rare)
- Over- or under-correction requiring touch-up
- Temporary numbness or tightness under the eyes
- Rare risk of infection or prolonged edema
Surgical Techniques Used
- Transconjunctival or Subciliary Approach: Incisions inside the eyelid or under lash line to access fat
- Fat Redistribution: Existing under-eye fat is repositioned for smoother contours
- Autologous Fat Grafting: Patient’s own fat (from thigh/abdomen) is purified and injected under the eyes
- Combination Technique: Sometimes paired with skin tightening or laser treatments
- Micro-fat & Nano-fat Injections: Used for fine hollow correction and skin quality improvement
Recovery & Aftercare
- Initial swelling and bruising last 7–10 days
- Most patients return to daily life in 1–2 weeks
- Cold compresses help reduce swelling in the first few days
- Avoid heavy exercise and eye rubbing for at least 2 weeks
- Full results visible after 1–3 months once swelling subsides
- Proper skincare and sun protection recommended for longevity
Results & Longevity
- Creates a smooth, youthful under-eye contour
- Restores volume and brightness to the midface
- Long-lasting results as grafted fat integrates with natural tissue
- Some fat resorption may occur, but typically 60–80% survives permanently
- Results last for years, often longer than dermal fillers
