“Under-Eye Fat Repositioning”

Although surgical excision of under-eye bags is an excellent choice for removing fatty tissue and potentially reducing the size of the bags, it also causes a deeper tear trough and groove under the eyes.

At KOA Clinic, we use a technique known as ” Under-Eye Fat Repositioning” to revamp the bags under the eyes, which helps soften the lower eyelid and repair tear troughs and deep grooves under the eyes.

It’s similar to treating tear troughs and under-eye bags simultaneously. 

Why do you have to choose “Under-Eye Fat Repositioning” at KOA Clinic?

  1. Rearrange under-eye bags rather than remove them to make under eyes look more fuller and smoother than traditional technique.
  2. Both approach technique ; internal and external; are optional in every people.
  3. Aging people also undergo Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
  4. Lower eyelid tightening surgery could be addressed in people with severe laxity for better result.

2 Surgical techniques for Under-Eye Fat Repositioning at KOA Clinic

 1. Internal approach 

  • Instill topical anesthetic eyedrops
  • Flip eyelids inside-out to approach and avoid visible surgical scars
  • Reposition under-eye fat to decrease bulges and deep grooves. 
  • Use absorbable sutures to close the wound from the inside.

2.External approach

  • Inject local anesthesia to the lower eyelid.
  • Make an incision along the edge of the lower eyelid to conceal the scar.
  • Trim off some extra fat and reposition the remaining fat as appropriate.
  • Cut off extra skin
  • Close the surgical site with non-absorbable sutures.
  • Lower eyelid ligament strengthening may be necessary in cases of severe lower eyelid laxity to avoid complications.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Before/After Review

FAQ about “Under-Eye Fat Repositioning”

  • The traditional technique is to remove bags under eyes, which tends to make the under-eye area look deep and lack of fullness. At KOA Clinic, we use fat reposition technique to smoothen the under-eye area and correct deep tear trough at the same time.

  • Yes, it is possible, but we do not recommend because people over 30-35 years of age often have problems with sagging lower eyelid skin or deterioration of the ligaments under the eyes(laxity). It is more appropriate to use the external technique. However, you can consult with our doctor for further advice.

  • Absolutely and we recommend adding fat injection to volumize your lower eyelid.
