Eye Bag Removalis a surgical procedure that addresses the bulging of fat under the eyes, which can create wrinkles or shadows, making a person appear older and tired.
During lower eyelid fat repositioning, the bulging fat pads beneath the eyes are removed through the conjunctiva below the lower eyelid. Some of the fat is then strategically repositioned to fill in the hollow areas under the eyes, resulting in a smoother and flatter lower eyelid contour.

Who needs Eye Bag Removal Surgery?
If there is an excess of fat or sunken area under the eyes, it can result in a bulging appearance or the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles, making a person look older.
Lower eyelid fat repositioning is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat and repositioning some of the orbital fat to the sunken area, creating a more uniform volume under the eyes.
Since each person's aging condition is different, it is important to determine the appropriate surgical method based on the diagnosis of an expert. If there are symptoms of sagging eyelids due to aging, concurrent lower blepharoplasty may also be performed.

In the case of bulging fat under the eyes

When there is bulging fat under the eyes, a surgical procedure can be performed to remove excess orbital fat through the conjunctiva, and in some cases, fat can be repositioned or transplanted to create a flatter appearance.
In the case of a sunken under-eye hollow

If there is bulging fat under the eyes and the tear trough area below appears relatively sunken and shadowed, removing the under-eye fat while transferring some fat to the sunken area can create a flatter under-eye contour.
In the case of sagging lower eyelids and fat

If the lower eyelids have sagged due to aging and lack elasticity, they can be corrected through lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty).
If there is bulging fat under the eyes, combining lower eyelid fat repositioning or fat grafting can comprehensively improve the aging of the under-eye area.

- When aging started the quick change in under eyes
- Genetic factors, lack of sleep, stress, exposure to UV rays can cause symptoms of aging as the age passes by. However, because the symptoms happened under the eyes it correspondent with As time passes, aging progresses due to various factors such as genetic predisposition, lack of sleep, stress, and UV exposure.
  The area under the eyes particularly exhibits multiple aging symptoms that can make a person appear older.
  Common signs of aging under the eyes include decreased skin elasticity, wrinkles, under-eye bags, fat loss, hyperpigmentation, dark circles, and drooping lower eyelid. Since these symptoms are difficult to improve naturally, it is important to do the prevention through skincare and UV rays protection to maintain a more youthful appearance. In cases where more significant improvement is needed, it is advised to consult with a professional who can provide a proper diagnosis and recommend suitable surgical or non-surgical procedure methods.

- Under-eye fat repositioning to address multiple signs of aging.
- In cases of under-eye aging, an imbalance in fat distribution can make the area appear more pronounced.
  Excessive under-eye fat bulging can lead to compromised blood flow in the infraorbital region, resulting in a darkened appearance.
  Additionally, the presence of bulging under-eye fat can create shadows that contribute to the appearance of severe dark circles.
  
  Moreover, the tear trough, which extends from the inner corner of the eye downwards, forms a border between areas of excess and insufficient fat.
  Along this border, the under-eye fat appears more pronounced, and the area along the tear trough can appear hollowed and shadowed.
  
  Under-eye fat repositioning aims to remove excessive bulging fat under the eyes and redistribute it to the hollowed area, creating a smoother and flatter contour.
  
  During the surgery, a certain amount of fat is removed through the conjunctiva on the lower eyelid, and if necessary, the ligament supporting the fat pad below the front of the eye is released to allow for the repositioning of the fat pad downward. In cases where there is insufficient fat in the infraorbital region, under-eye fat grafting may be performed simultaneously.
  
  Furthermore, to prevent the recurrence of bulging under-eye fat after the surgery, measures may be taken to reinforce the laxity of the orbital septum and prevent it from loosening.

Septum strengthening and fat repositioning under the eye
Most cases of under-eye fat protrusion are attributed to the laxity of the orbital septum or a narrow tear trough, preventing the fat from being evenly distributed.
Neglecting this issue can lead to a recurrence of the problem after surgery.
Therefore, during the process of fat repositioning, it is important to ensure good vascularization and spread the fat tissue evenly, while reinforcing the orbital septum using surrounding supportive structures.

The surgical procedure involves making an incision on the inner conjunctiva of the eye to remove excessive fat and then repositioning some of the fat below the ligament of the tear trough to correct the hollowed appearance.
The procedure concludes by reinforcing the orbital septum to prevent recurrence.
The incision marks are minimal and not visible externally, which allows for easy daily activities and faster recovery.
This surgery requires a thorough understanding of the anatomical structure beneath the eyes and experience with various surgical techniques.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Is under-eye fat reposition and under-eye liposuction a different surgery?

A. From a broader perspective, both surgeries aim to address the imbalance in the distribution of under-eye orbital fat.
The difference lies in the fact that under-eye fat repositioning involves not only the removal of excessive orbital fat but also the concept of redistributing some fat to the hollowed areas along the tear trough.
As the incision site for both procedures is the same, if deemed necessary during diagnosis, they can be selectively performed.

Q.Does it leave a lot of scars?

A. Because the incision is inside the lower part of the eye, there is no visible scar left after the surgery.
However, when the aging symptoms are severe and undergo a simultaneous surgery with lower blepharoplasty to cut out the drooping skin, the scar can be seen from a period of time since the incision was done from outside.

Q.Are there any side effects?

A. All surgeries have the potential to cause any unexpected discomfort or side effects.
The best way to minimize side effects is to consult with an experienced specialist and carefully follow post surgery instructions for proper management.
However, if you experience significant discomfort or have symptoms such as excessive bleeding, heat sensation, or intense inflammation, it is important to contact the hospital to receive appropriate care.

Q.Will it hurt a lot?

A.It may be a little uncomfortable after surgery, but it is not a surgery that involves a lot of pain. Thus, if you take good care of it over the recovery period, it will help relieve the pain.

Q.When can I start to go back to my daily activities?

A. Usually there will be swelling and bruising around the surgery area and it takes around 2 to 3 weeks for it to get better.
If you want to use lens or eye make up for your daily look, it is recommended to do it after this period.
After that, around 3 to 6 months the damaged tissue will be recovered and will show a natural result. You can expect a stable surgery result if you take care of it following the precaution that the hospital gives after the surgery.

Q.What is the precaution after the surgery?

A. Prior to the surgery, the hospital will provide you with explanations and consent forms, as well as post surgery instructions.
Some important precautions include prohibition from alcohol and smoking for about a month to prevent bleeding and infection.
If you experience itching, swelling, or allergic reactions around the eyes while taking antibiotics after the surgery, stop the medication and visit the hospital. It is advisable to avoid getting water on or around the eyes for about a week.
To reduce bruising, swelling, and bleeding, cold compresses can be applied for approximately 2 to 3 days after the surgery, followed by a combination of warm and cold compresses after one week.
It is important to avoid positions that increase blood pressure around the eye area, such as bending over.
