[Diva Plastic Surgery] Under-eye fat removal, repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty: Customized surgical plans based on symptoms

Hello, this is Diva Plastic Surgery : )

Even if you don't feel tired yourself,

you might have heard people around you say you look tired

or that you look depressed.

The main cause of a dull and gloomy impression

is often under-eye fat and dark circles.

Due to aging or congenital factors,

dark shadows form under the eyes and fat protrudes,

making one look older and creating a sad impression.

To erase these signs of aging around the eyes,

under-eye fat removal, repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty are highly favored.

By removing unnecessary fat under the eyes and repositioning it to appropriate areas,

we can create vibrant eyes.

Since the surgery is performed after accurately analyzing each individual's eye aging

and considering overall harmony,

bright and lively eyes can be achieved without awkwardness.

It is most important to create a customized surgical plan based on the symptoms

for the treatment to be effective.

Dr. Kim Jong-myung of Diva Plastic Surgery explained the customized

under-eye fat removal, repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty just for you.

If you are not tired at all but are asked by people around you if you are tired, or if you have a gloomy impression that makes you look somewhat ill, it is necessary to pay attention to dark circles as the cause. Dark circles are a phenomenon where the area under the eyes appears dark and shadowed, and they are considered a major culprit in creating a tired or dark impression.

Dark circles often form under the eyes due to sagging or protruding under-eye fat caused by aging. Other causes include hyperpigmentation or thin skin that allows underlying muscles and blood vessels to show through.

As aging progresses, the under-eye fatty tissue thins, causing the eyelids to sag and the under-eye fat to bulge. This protruding fat often accompanies under-eye wrinkles, making the face look older. Therefore, there is a high demand for improving this with anti-aging procedures such as under-eye fat removal, under-eye fat repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty.

If there is severe skin laxity under the eyes or excessive under-eye fat, it can be corrected through under-eye fat removal. By incising the conjunctiva on the inside of the lower eyelid with a laser, excess under-eye fat can be removed to improve dark circles and under-eye wrinkles. Since the incision is made inside the conjunctiva, there is no visible scar, the recovery period is short, and the removal of bulging fat can result in smooth, youthful-looking eyes.

Under-eye fat repositioning is suitable if there is excessive or insufficient fat under the eyes, or if the under-eye fat is sagging but the skin laxity is not severe. Laser under-eye fat repositioning involves incising the inside of the eyelid with a laser, locating the fat pockets, spreading the contained fat, and fixing it. This procedure fills in sunken areas by repositioning fat, brightening and revitalizing dark and dull under-eyes. It can simultaneously improve dark circles and under-eye wrinkles, and the repositioning of fat can create 'aegyo-sal' (charming under-eye bags), making it a popular choice for middle-aged eye surgery.

Lower blepharoplasty is a representative anti-aging procedure that can improve complex symptoms that may appear due to decreased skin elasticity around the eyes with aging. Depending on symptoms such as under-eye wrinkles, under-eye sagging, and under-eye fat laxity, it can be performed in conjunction with under-eye fat repositioning and removal. Minimum incision of the inner conjunctiva is used to remove and reposition bulging fat. Not only the skin but also the muscles are pulled upwards and sutured, improving the eyes to a bright and youthful appearance. Incorporating lateral canthoplasty, which fixes the skin and muscles to the outer orbital periosteum, can reduce concerns about side effects such as ectropion and improve under-eye sagging that cannot be corrected by lower blepharoplasty alone.

Dr. Kim Jong-myung (Plastic Surgeon) of Diva Plastic Surgery explained, ‘The eye area is where aging appears fastest due to thin skin and fewer sebaceous glands. Through anti-aging procedures such as under-eye fat removal, repositioning, and lower blepharoplasty, a youthful eye appearance can be achieved.’ He added, ‘Appropriate surgical methods can be applied depending on the signs of aging, and surgical methods can be combined as needed.’

He continued, ‘Excessive fat removal and incorrect surgical methods can lead to other side effects. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively consider the skin tissue condition, degree of laxity, and amount of fat to create a personalized surgical plan.’ He further advised, ‘To do this, it is helpful to carefully review reviews, choose a reputable or skilled clinic for eye surgery, and select a hospital with a resident plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in eye surgery.’
