Under Eye Fat Repositioning in Seoul, Korea

  What Is Under Eye Fat Repositioning?

Under Eye Fat Repositioning is a cosmetic surgical procedure that redistributes existing under-eye fat to smooth hollows, reduce puffiness, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Instead of removing fat entirely, the surgeon repositions it to blend the tear trough area seamlessly with the lower eyelid and upper cheek.

In Seoul, this procedure is highly refined and extremely popular for natural-looking eye rejuvenation.

Why Seoul Is a Top Destination for Under Eye Fat Repositioning

  Seoul is known for excellence in under-eye cosmetic surgery because:

• Surgeons specialize in delicate periorbital anatomy
• Techniques prioritize natural, non-overdone results
• Advanced micro-cannula and scar-minimizing methods
• High experience with Asian eyelid structures
• Fast recovery protocols for international patients
• Enhanced outcomes with combined treatments (laser, stem cell fat grafting, fillers)

Who Benefits From Under Eye Fat Repositioning?

  This procedure is ideal if you have:

• Under-eye bags or puffiness
• Tear trough hollows creating a tired look
• Shadowing under the eyes
• Uneven fat pockets
• Early to moderate aging in the lower lids
• Desire for long-lasting results without fillers

  This surgery improves contour, not just wrinkles.

How the Procedure Works

1. Consultation & Eye Analysis

Assessment of fat pocket size, skin elasticity, and tear trough depth.

2. Incision (Usually Inside the Lower Eyelid)

Most Korean surgeons use a transconjunctival approach—meaning no visible external scar.

3. Fat Redistribution

Fat pads are gently released and repositioned to fill the tear trough and smooth the lid-cheek junction.

4. Optional Add-Ons

• Ligament release
• Laser resurfacing
• PRP or stem cell fat graft (for deeper hollows)

5. Closure & Recovery

Incision closed with dissolvable sutures; minimal external signs.

Procedure time: 45–90 minutes.

• No external scars with transconjunctival approach
• Longer-lasting than fillers
• Very natural and subtle when done well

Downtime & Recovery

• Swelling: 5–10 days
• Bruising: mild to moderate, fades within a week

  Avoid heavy exercise, alcohol, and rubbing the eyes during early recovery.

How Long Do Results Last?
