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.
How long is recovery after under-eye fat removal?
Recovery generally takes approximately 5–7 days. Bleeding or bruising may occur depending on your condition, and recovery time can vary.
