Treatment Overview
Fat Repositioning Lower Blepharoplasty is an advanced Korean eye surgery designed to treat under-eye bags and hollowness by redistributing existing orbital fat rather than removing it. This technique smooths out bulges, fills tear trough depressions, and prevents the hollow, aged look that often occurs with traditional fat removal. Korea is a leader in this field, offering scar-minimizing methods, advanced fat repositioning techniques, and natural results that blend seamlessly with the midface.
Purpose & Benefits
- Smooths under-eye bulges caused by fat protrusion
- Fills hollow areas such as the tear trough
- Creates a youthful, refreshed appearance
- Prevents sunken or hollowed-out results
- Enhances midface contour and facial harmony
- Long-lasting results compared to filler treatments
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with eye bags and dark under-eye shadows
- Individuals with tear trough hollowness or deep grooves
- Those experiencing early to moderate lower eyelid aging
- Patients who want natural rejuvenation without fat removal
- Adults in their 30s–50s seeking long-term under-eye correction
Possible Risks & Complications
Although safe, possible risks include:
- Temporary swelling and bruising
- Mild asymmetry or uneven fat distribution (rare)
- Temporary numbness or tightness under the eyes
- Rare risk of infection or prolonged edema
- Need for revision if repositioned fat does not settle evenly
Surgical Techniques Used
- Transconjunctival Approach: Incision inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar
- Fat Repositioning: Orbital fat pads are shifted and redistributed to hollow areas
- Tear Trough Correction: Smooths transition between lower eyelid and cheek
- Preservation Technique: Avoids excessive fat removal to maintain youthful fullness
- Combination Enhancements: May be combined with laser resurfacing or skin tightening for optimal results
Recovery & Aftercare
- Recovery time is typically 7–10 days
- Bruising and swelling peak within the first few days, then gradually subside
- Most patients return to normal routines in 1–2 weeks
- Avoid strenuous activities and eye rubbing for 2–3 weeks
- Final results become more visible after 1–3 months
- Proper skincare and sun protection help maintain results
Results & Longevity
- Produces a smooth, youthful under-eye contour
- Eliminates puffiness while preventing hollowing
- Restores facial balance and midface harmony
- Results are long-lasting, often 8–10 years or more
- Unlike fillers, repositioned fat does not dissolve and ages naturally with the patient
