Hello, this is Face Plastic Surgery Clinic in Daejeon.
Today we will review a surgical case involving Korean eye fat repositioning performed on a middle-aged male patient.
As individuals age, the appearance of under-eye bulging fat becomes a common concern and is often associated with tiredness or a worn-out look even when one is healthy and well-rested.
In men, this concern may be more pronounced as subtle facial changes can impact social and professional interactions.
This patient was a male in his early 50s who visited our clinic with a specific concern.He expressed frustration over the puffiness under his eyes, explaining that it gave him a dark and dull impression. He was frequently told by others that he looked fatigued even when he felt perfectly fine physically. Due to his job requiring frequent interpersonal interactions, he felt the need to address this issue to restore a more balanced and approachable appearance.
After a detailed examination and consultation, we determined that Korean eye fat repositioning would be an appropriate surgical option. This procedure differs from simple fat removal as it focuses on redistributing existing fat rather than extracting it entirely. The patient also showed deep tear troughs beneath the bulging fat, which added to the fatigued look by creating a shadowed effect.
The surgical plan was made to relocate the excess fat into the hollow areas to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek. We used a transconjunctival approach, making an incision inside the lower eyelid to avoid visible scarring. This method is frequently preferred by male patients as it preserves the external appearance and maintains a natural look.
The surgery was performed under sedation and took approximately one hour. The patient was able to return home on the same day. At the two-day post-operative follow-up, we observed only minimal bruising and swelling. By the end of the first week, the swelling had noticeably subsided. The contour of the under-eye area appeared more refined and the overall facial expression became brighter. The patient mentioned that even in natural lighting.
his face no longer appeared as dark or tired as before. Friends and colleagues commented on his more alert and refreshed appearance, which contributed positively to his self-confidence. Korean eye fat repositioning offers advantages for individuals with both protruding fat and sunken grooves in the under-eye region.
The combination of these features often exaggerates signs of aging or fatigue. This procedure can help balance the contours of the lower eyelid by repositioning fat to where volume is deficient. In this patient’s case, we were able to restore a smoother transition and reduce harsh shadows without drastically altering his natural features.
It is crucial to approach this type of surgery with precision as the under-eye area contains complex anatomical layers.
Simply removing fat can sometimes lead to overcorrection resulting in a hollow or aged look.
The goal of Korean eye fat repositioning is to redistribute fat appropriately to maintain youthful volume while reducing bulges. After approximately three weeks, the patient reported a high level of comfort in daily life with no sensation of pulling or tightness in the surgical area.
In photographs, the midface appeared brighter and his eye area looked smoother and more lifted. This case underscores how much impact the under-eye area has on one’s facial expression and why personalized surgical planning is important. Those considering Korean eye fat repositioning should take into account that the most natural and lasting results are achieved through a tailored approach rather than a uniform technique.
It is also important to monitor post-operative healing with regular follow-ups to ensure that fat repositioning remains stable as swelling subsides. This procedure is not merely cosmetic but contributes significantly to restoring balance and vitality to the face. By respecting the patient’s unique facial structure and tissue condition, we were able to guide him toward a more refreshed and natural look without visible signs of surgical intervention.
If you are considering Korean eye fat repositioning, we recommend beginning with a consultation to discuss your specific anatomy, aesthetic goals, and recovery expectations. A successful outcome begins with clear communication and individualized planning. All surgeries may involve swelling bruising or other side effects.
