Eye surgery

Under-eye fat repositioning

Performed through the conjunctiva, so there is no external scar and no stitches to remove. Bulging fat is redistributed into the tear trough; the procedure takes about 30 minutes with 2–3 days of recovery.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my aegyo-sal?

No. The approach passes behind the orbicularis muscle through the conjunctiva, so the roll is preserved — and often looks clearer once the bulging fat beneath it is redistributed.

How is it different from lower blepharoplasty?

Fat repositioning removes no skin, so there is no external wound and recovery is fast. Lower blepharoplasty incises under the lash line to remove lax skin as well, which suits people with clear skin sagging.
