Eye Fat repositioning

Eye Fat Repositioning is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the lower eyelid area by redistributing the fat pockets around the eyes. Instead of simply removing excess fat, this technique moves it to areas where volume is lacking, creating a smoother and more youthful look.

what is Eye Fat Repositioning
Purpose of Eye Fat Repositioning
- Reduce under-eye bags: It addresses bulging fat pockets that cause a tired appearance.
- Smooth hollows: By redistributing fat, it fills sunken or hollow areas under the eyes, reducing dark shadows.
- Enhance overall contour: The procedure restores a more natural transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
Benefits of Fat Repositioning vs. Traditional Fat Removal
- Natural Results: Avoids a hollowed or sunken look that may occur with fat removal alone.
- Youthful Appearance: Maintains or restores volume, which is key to a youthful look.
- Long-Lasting Results: The repositioned fat integrates into the surrounding tissue for durable results.
How the Procedure Works
- Incision: A small incision is made, typically inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival) or just below the lash line.
- Fat Redistribution: The surgeon carefully repositions fat from the bulging areas to the hollow parts under the eyes or cheek area.
- Closure: The incision is closed, often with dissolvable sutures, and healing begins.
Recovery and Risks
- Recovery Time: Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks, but full results may take several months to appear.
- Risks: While generally safe, potential risks include infection, asymmetry, or prolonged swelling.
FAQ
How is eye fat repositioning different from lower blepharoplasty?
While traditional lower blepharoplasty often removes fat, eye fat repositioning redistributes it to fill hollow areas, creating a more balanced and natural look.
Are the results permanent?
Weight loss isn’t the primary goal of a Mommy Makeover. A tummy tuck combined with liposuction may result in 2 to 8 pounds of reduction, depending on your starting weight. But remember that the real purpose of a Mommy Makeover procedure is to contour your shape and boost your confidence.
How much does eye fat repositioning cost?
The cost varies based on location and surgeon expertise. In Korea, the price can range from $2,000 to $5,000 USD, making it a popular destination for this procedure.
