 Get rid of the under-eye fat and dark circles through Korean under-eye fat repositioning surgery

I think the eye is the part of our face that affects a lot when other people determine our first impression. While we get older, aging starts, collagen inside our bodies and our skin elasticity will decrease, and those changes are easy to be noticed through the eyes.

That's because if you ask me to pick the part of our face that looks the oldest, I would pick the bumpy and sunken under-eye. The phenomenon in which the under-eye sticks out happens because the tarsal membrane that supports the under-eye fat, become weaker, so the fat sticks out gradually. While the under-eye fats sticking out and the dark circle stands out, the under-eye will become dented partially and look dull, so it is easy to make us look tired, older than our actual age, and create a old-looking image. Therefore, the number of people who complain that having this complex is increasing. 

In the past, these infraorbital fat and under-eye bag were considered as an aging phenomenon among middle-aged people, but these days, they also happen on young people, caused by stress, irregular lifestyles, and overwork. So, in order to improve this problem, many of the young and middle-aged people regardless of age try to do home-care like applying whitening cosmetics or doing massage. However, the reality is that it is difficult to improve the under-eye aging that has happened already. Perhaps that's why recently, interest towards under-eye repositioning surgery, increases and there have been more inquiries about the cost of under-eye fat repositioning surgery, also called lower eyelid blepharoplasty which reposition the bulging fat to the sunken infraorbital fat in a surgical way. 

The under-eye fat repositioning surgery, also known as lower eyelid blepharoplasty, is a surgery to tighten the eyes and improve the elasticity of the eyes by pulling and fixing the protruding under-eye fat and the fat inside the tarsal membrane, and then repositioning the fat to the proper position. It is gaining popularity because it can remove the under-eye fat that is sticking out, improve the under-eye fats and under-eye wrinkles by flattening the entire under- eyes, correct the dark circles and make people look younger. Since the surgery is performed through the conjunctiva inside the lower eyelid, there will be almost no scars on the appearance. Also, the surgery time is short, which is within an hour, and the recovery period also takes about one to two weeks. This surgery also has the advantage of being able to return to daily life quickly as swelling and bruising under the eyes are little after the surgery.

 It can be said that the pain after having the under-eye fat repositioning varies from person to person. In most of the cases, as the area around duct near the under-eye where the tear comes out (lacrimal duct) would swell up, rather than pain, there will be more discomfort like having a lot of tears coming out. What you should be careful about after surgery is that you should avoid acts that will increase the eye pressure, like coughing or blowing your nose, and it is good to use cold packs frequently to relieve swelling too. 

Normally, although the cost varies depending on the difficulty of the surgery, and there are differences from hospital to hospital, the cost of under-eye fat repositioning surgery starts from 1 million won, and can go up to more than 2 million won. The reason is that the price can be different depending on the individual eye shape of the patients, the position of the incision and the reposition. However, the thing that should not be overlooked here is that you should not decide to do the surgery  by looking at the low price only.

This is because the key of under-eye fat repositioning surgery is not just moving and repositioning the fat of the tear trough, but is also strengthening the tarsal membrane to prevent recurrence. The tarsal membrane is a membrane that surrounds and supports the under-eye fat tissue, and if the membrane becomes loose and loses strength, the under-eye fat may droop and become bumpy, so it is necessary to carefully check whether the medical staff has the skills to prevent sagging again. In addition, we need to examine the condition of the under-eye of the individuals, pull the sagging parts, fill up the sunken parts, and preserve the existing aegyo-sal under the eyes, so that we can change the eyes into a pair of young-looking eyes.

In addition, if you want to improve your eyes into a pair of lively eyes, don't forget the most important thing is to choose a medical institution which has medical team with a lot of anatomical knowledge about the eyes, that can help make customized plan before the surgery and even provide post-surgery management. 

If you are planning to have under-eye repositioning surgery, also called lower eyelid blepharoplasty, please carefully check if the hospital has the presence of anesthesiologists for safe surgery, and whether the hospital provides a systematic follow-up system after surgery before deciding the hospital, and do the surgery after having sufficient consultation with the medical team.
