FAQ

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

What is under-eye fat repositioning?

Under-eye fat repositioning moves bulging fat into hollow areas to make the under-eye contour flatter and smoother, improving dark circles and a shadowed appearance.

When might under-eye fat repositioning 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 repositioning performed?

The extent and shape of the bulging fat are assessed to plan the surgery. A minimal laser incision is then made in the conjunctiva inside the eyelid. Through this incision, excess fat is removed and fat is redistributed into hollow areas, then secured with internal or external fixation.

Does under-eye fat repositioning leave scars?

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

Can under-eye fat repositioning improve dark circles?

For dark circles caused by shadows from bulging fat and hollows, moving protruding fat into hollow areas can smooth the under-eye contour and help improve the dark appearance.

How is the fat secured during under-eye fat repositioning?

The two methods are internal and external fixation. Internal fixation secures the fat to the periosteum beneath the tissues without bringing sutures through the skin. External fixation ties sutures to the fat and brings them out through the skin for external anchoring.

Will internal or external fixation be used?

JAYJUN Plastic Surgery offers both methods. After assessing your under-eye condition and surgical requirements, a suitable fixation method is selected through consultation with a plastic surgery specialist.

Can under-eye fat repositioning make the under-eye area look brighter?

Improving bulging fat and hollows can reduce shadows caused by uneven under-eye contours. Improving dark circles and fine lines can help make a dark, tired appearance look brighter.

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

The surgery takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour under sedation or local anesthesia. Hospitalization is not required, and patients can go home on the day of surgery.

How long is recovery after under-eye fat repositioning?

Recovery generally takes approximately 5–7 days. Internal fixation does not require stitch removal. Bleeding or bruising may occur depending on your condition, and recovery time can vary.

JAYJUN Plastic Surgery's under-eye fat repositioning redistributes bulging fat into hollow areas to improve uneven under-eye contours and dark circles, creating a smoother, brighter under-eye area. Small incisions through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid leave almost no noticeable scars on the outer skin. This surgery may be considered when bulging under-eye fat casts shadows, dark circles make the face look dull and tired, or uneven fat bulges create an older appearance. A minimal laser incision is made in the conjunctiva, excess protruding fat is removed, and fat is redistributed into hollow areas. The repositioned fat is secured with internal or external fixation according to the patient's under-eye condition. Surgery takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour under sedation or local anesthesia. Hospitalization is not required, and patients can go home the same day. Recovery generally takes approximately 5–7 days. Internal fixation does not require stitch removal. Bruising or bleeding may occur depending on individual condition, and recovery time can vary.
