Under eye fat repositioning is a refined surgical technique used to correct puffiness and hollowing beneath the eyes by redistributing orbital fat rather than removing it. This procedure is highly sought after in Gangnam for its ability to restore youthful, seamless under-eye contours with a more natural and longer-lasting outcome compared to traditional fat removal methods.

🔹 What Is Under Eye Fat Repositioning?

Under eye fat repositioning, also known as fat transposition blepharoplasty, involves repositioning the bulging fat pads beneath the eyes into adjacent hollow areas—such as the tear trough or orbital rim. Rather than excising fat, this method preserves volume and smooths out the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing puffiness and sunken shadows simultaneously.

🔹 What Issues Can It Address?

This procedure is ideal for correcting:

• Puffy under-eye bags caused by fat herniation
• Tear trough depression or hollowness
• Harsh under-eye grooves or volume imbalance
• Aged or tired appearance despite good rest
• Post-surgical or natural asymmetry in the under-eye area

It offers comprehensive contour correction, especially for those experiencing both bulging and hollowing.

🔹 How Does It Work?

A small incision is made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), avoiding external scars. The orbital fat is carefully released and repositioned downward over the infraorbital rim to fill hollows and smooth contours. The repositioned fat is then secured in place, creating a more even and youthful under-eye area without removing valuable tissue.

🔹 Who Is a Good Candidate?

This procedure is best suited for individuals who:

• Have under-eye puffiness combined with tear trough depression
• Want a natural transition between the eyelid and cheek
• Are concerned about volume loss with traditional fat removal
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

It is ideal for patients in their 30s to 60s with good skin elasticity.

🔹 What Is the Procedure Like?

Surgery typically takes 60 to 90 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

• Approach: Transconjunctival (inside the eyelid) with no visible scarring
• Comfort: Minimal discomfort, mild swelling or bruising afterward
• Technique: Focus on precision placement of fat for balanced contours

Patients return home the same day and follow post-op instructions for recovery.

🔹 Recovery and Aftercare

Initial swelling and bruising subside within 7 to 10 days. Cold compresses and rest are recommended for the first few days. Most patients return to social activities within 1 to 2 weeks. No stitches are visible, and special care is taken to ensure natural healing without noticeable scarring.

🔹 When Will I See Results?

Initial improvements are visible within 1–2 weeks, with full results settling over 1 to 3 months as swelling fully resolves. The repositioned fat creates smoother contours and a refreshed under-eye appearance that lasts for years, with results often more durable than filler or traditional eyelid surgery.
