Cheongdam Plastic Surgery: Under-eye Fat Repositioning Surgery – Pain and Effects
Learn about under-eye fat repositioning surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery, including pain management, recovery, and aesthetic benefits for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Hello.
I am Song Sang-hoon,
Chief Director of Goldendiamant Cheongdam Plastic Surgery.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon for many years,
performing various plastic surgeries,
under-eye fat repositioning surgery
was primarily a procedure
performed on middle-aged and older individuals in the past.
However, recently,
it has become a popular surgery among young people in their 20s and 30s who seek a smooth line extending from the under-eye area to the anterior cheek.

Under-eye fat repositioning surgery,
as its name suggests,
removes unnecessarily protruding fat from under the eyes and smoothly repositions the fat
to improve conditions such as sagging due to aging, under-eye hollowness, and dark circles.
Today, at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery,
we will delve into the pain and effects of under-eye fat repositioning surgery.

The under-eye area is one of the thinnest and most sensitive parts of the face.
At Cheongdam Plastic Surgery, during this
under-eye fat repositioning surgery,
we perform either conscious sedation or local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure.
After the surgery, as the anesthesia wears off,
you might experience a slight foreign body sensation or throbbing,
but taking the prescribed painkillers will reduce the pain.
Discomfort that does not significantly interfere with daily life after surgery
can last for about 3-7 days.

Since under-eye fat repositioning surgery involves incision and
fat repositioning,
bruising and swelling may occur after the surgery.
Typically, bruising can last for about 3-7 days,
and swelling for about 7-10 days.
The recovery period may vary depending on the individual's skin condition and healing speed.
For patients who visit Cheongdam Plastic Surgery for under-eye fat repositioning surgery,

we explain that significant swelling subsides after 2 weeks,
allowing for natural recovery to the extent that there are no restrictions on external engagements.
If you desire faster recovery for an important event,
you can quickly alleviate pain and swelling through the post-care program operated by Goldendiamant.
The biggest advantage of under-eye fat repositioning surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery
is not simply removing the bulging fat under the eyes, but rather
naturally filling in the hollow areas,
which can create a smooth facial line.

In particular, we recommend under-eye fat repositioning surgery at Cheongdam Plastic Surgery to those who have the following concerns:
Those with dark circles that make their impression look dark
Those with severe under-eye hollowness and wrinkles that make them look older than their age
Those with a strong shadowed look around the eyes that makes their impression seem harsh
Those whose under-eye puffiness makes their makeup look messy
Under-eye fat repositioning surgery is not only for functional improvement due to aging,
but especially recently, among young people in their 20s and 30s,
to compensate for under-eye fat bulges or genetic dark circles,
it is also frequently performed for cosmetic purposes.

Through fat repositioning,
the smoothed under-eye line
can soften the impression and fill the anterior cheek, creating a more youthful face.
Under-eye surgery at Cheongdam Goldendiamant Plastic Surgery is performed by
a board-certified plastic surgeon with 20 years of experience, from consultation and design to the surgery itself,
on a one-on-one basis,
incorporating the expert's years of know-how into the client's needs,
providing customized plastic surgery.

In particular, under-eye surgery has relatively less burden of pain
and a fast recovery period,
making it one of the surgeries that many people find highly satisfying.
If your under-eyes always look tired, or if you've always been bothered by wrinkles and hollowness around the eyes, or the inappropriate position of fat,
we recommend consulting a plastic surgeon about under-eye surgery.
