FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about under-eye fat removal.

What is under-eye fat removal?

Under-eye fat removal takes away excess protruding fat to make uneven under-eye contours flatter and smoother.

When might under-eye fat removal be considered?

It may be considered when dark circles make the face look dull and tired, bulging under-eye fat creates shadows, makeup cannot conceal dark under-eye areas, or uneven fat bulges make the face look older.

How is under-eye fat removal performed?

After assessing the extent and shape of the bulging fat to plan the surgery, a minimal laser incision is made in the conjunctiva inside the eyelid. Excess protruding fat is then removed through the conjunctiva to create a smoother under-eye area.

Does under-eye fat removal leave scars?

Because the surgery is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid, it leaves almost no noticeable scars on the outer skin.

Is removing more under-eye fat always better?

Removing too much fat can make the under-eye area look excessively hollow, so it is important to remove an appropriate amount based on each patient's condition.

Can under-eye fat removal improve dark circles?

For dark circles caused by shadows from protruding under-eye fat, removing excess fat to create a flatter, more even contour can help improve dark circles and the dark appearance.

How long does under-eye fat removal take, and what anesthesia is used?

Surgery takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour and is performed under sedation or local anesthesia.

Is hospitalization needed after under-eye fat removal?

Hospitalization is not required, and you can go home on the day of surgery.

Will stitches need to be removed after under-eye fat removal?

Stitch removal is generally unnecessary because surgery is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid.

Recovery generally takes approximately 5–7 days. Bleeding or bruising may occur depending on your condition, and recovery time can vary.
