[Diva Plastic Surgery] Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning, Removal Surgery... Helps Create Bright, Youthful Eyes Without Dark Circles

Hello!

We are Diva Plastic Surgery,

‘bringing back your prime’.

Today, for those who wish to turn back the clock,

we can't stop time, but we can offer a youthful solution

to help you regain your former appearance!

At our clinic, we perform lower blepharoplasty, which not only addresses under-eye fat

but also tightens sagging under-eye skin. We meticulously remove excess skin

and lift lax muscles, considering the degree of sagging under-eye ligaments,

to complete a bright and youthful eye appearance!

As our clinic's excellent techniques gained recognition through word-of-mouth,

we had an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, a media outlet.

Let's review the interview with Dr. Kim Jong-myung, the representative director of Diva Plastic Surgery,

and learn about solutions for skin aging!

Dark circles, which appear dark or bluish under the eyes, often give others an impression of fatigue and exhaustion, making their improvement highly necessary. Furthermore, as they can make one appear unmotivated or older than their actual age, many people make various efforts to conceal dark circles.

However, if dark circles are not simply due to temporary fatigue but are caused by sagging skin or protruding under-eye fat due to aging, it is not easy to cover them with makeup. If done incorrectly, it can even backfire, making the makeup appear thicker and more unnatural.

So, what are the effective anti-aging cosmetic methods to improve dark circles? These can be broadly divided into non-surgical and surgical methods.

Non-surgical solutions for dark circles?

Non-surgical methods include under-eye toning, under-eye fillers, under-eye regenerative injections, and under-eye laser lifting. Under-eye toning is a method that can achieve satisfactory results for dark circles caused by hyperpigmentation, effectively helping to remove active melanin pigments under the eyes, as well as improving pigmentation in the upper dermis and deep under-eye pigmentation.

Under-eye filler is an effective method for dark circles caused by hollowness under the eyes. It is an injection procedure where filler is injected into the thin skin layer under the eyes, considering the delicate nature of the skin. It simply improves the causes of aging under the eyes without surgery and adds volume to the under-eye 'aegyo-sal' (cute fat pockets) that have disappeared due to aging, improving the three-dimensionality of the eye area and fine wrinkles, completing a youthful eye appearance.

Under-eye regenerative injections are suitable for cases where the under-eye area is puffy due to under-eye fat. Growth factors contained in platelets extracted from one's own blood are separated using a centrifuge and then reinjected into the dermal layer to regenerate the skin. Finally, under-eye lifting laser improves under-eye wrinkles caused by sagging skin due to aging through non-surgical means, by contracting the sagging under-eye skin tissue to lift the skin.

Surgical treatments for dark circles?

Surgical treatments for dark circles primarily include under-eye fat removal, under-eye fat repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty. In particular, under-eye fat repositioning is widely known as a procedure sought by many celebrities at plastic surgery clinics. When there is excessive or insufficient under-eye fat, or when under-eye fat sags due to aging, under-eye fat and dark circles occur. In such cases, repositioning the under-eye fat can brighten and revitalize the dark and dull under-eye area.

Under-eye fat removal improves dark and dull under-eyes by removing under-eye fat. It is usually suitable for cases where there is excessively abundant under-eye fat or when under-eye fat sags due to aging. It also helps improve both bulging under-eye fat and dark circles.

Lower blepharoplasty is a surgery that removes or repositions sagging fat and lifts and fixes sagging skin and muscles. It can appropriately restore under-eye volume and remove wrinkles, simultaneously creating bright and youthful-looking eyes. Additionally, by lifting and fixing the sagging skin and muscles around the eyes upwards, it can also create a younger-looking eye appearance.

Regarding this, Dr. Kim Jong-myung, director of Diva Plastic Surgery at Sinsa Station, stated, ‘Dark circles don't just make the under-eye area dull; they can make the entire impression dark and dull, so improvement is necessary.’ He added, ‘While improvement is possible through surgical or non-surgical methods depending on the case and individual needs, the results can vary depending on relevant experience and know-how, so it's advisable to review these in advance.’
