Complete escape from dull under-eye dark circles! A detailed and honest review after 3 months.
1. Reason for the procedure and concerns
At some point, whenever I looked in the mirror, the fat under my eyes bulged out, and deep hollows and dark circles formed beneath it, making my overall impression look tired and dull. Since it was difficult to conceal even with makeup, I was troubled and decided to undergo 'under-eye fat repositioning' surgery, which involves flattening the under-eye fat through the conjunctiva.
2. Procedure Information and Specific Items
Date of procedure and elapsed time: The surgery was performed on [June 12], and it has been about [3 months] since then.
Cost: Approximately 880,000 won [event price] was spent.
(Consultation fees and medication costs are separate)
Frequency and Dosage: 1 session of under-eye fat repositioning
(Concurrent septal reinforcement and micro-fat grafting as needed)
3. Day of Surgery and Recovery Process
The surgery was performed painlessly using a combination of local and sedation anesthesia.
I had tape applied under my eyes immediately after the surgery, and some swelling and bruising appeared until the 2nd or 3rd day.
Week 1 After removing the tape, the bruising and swelling began to subside rapidly.
Since it was a conjunctival incision method that leaves no visible incision line on the skin, I had absolutely no worries about scarring.
After the first month As the significant swelling subsided and the under-eye line settled, a smooth and natural eye shape was achieved.
4. Effects of the procedure and impressions (presence of side effects)
The most satisfying part is that the puffiness and shadows under my eyes have disappeared, changing my tired-looking appearance into a much brighter and more lively one.
There were no specific side effects or symptoms (such as bleeding or flap abnormalities) after the surgery, and the patient recovered safely through regular follow-up checkups.
I am so satisfied that the time I spent deliberating feels like a waste,
People around me also say that I look much younger.
I am listening.
5. Pre- and Post-Surgery Advice and Tips
(Advice for those considering surgery)
Hospital Selection Rather than making a decision based solely on price promotions, be sure to check whether a board-certified plastic surgeon personally oversees everything from the consultation to the surgery, and whether the medical team is experienced and well-versed in the structure of the under-eye area.
Pre-consultation Since the necessary surgical method may vary depending not only on the amount of fat under the eyes but also on skin thickness and the cause of dark circles (pigmented, vascular, or sunken), I recommend visiting at least two or three clinics to consult in person.
Post-operative care Applying cold compresses diligently for 2 to 3 days after surgery is very helpful in reducing swelling and bruising. Additionally, for one month, you must strictly avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously, bending your head downward, excessive exercise, drinking alcohol, and smoking to aid in your recovery.
Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure with a relatively quick recovery and high satisfaction rate, but as it is undeniably plastic surgery, please make your decision carefully to ensure a safe and beautiful result!

- 01CommentsUnder-eye fat repositioning is a surgery that smooths the under-eye area by redistributing fat rather than simply removing it, so it is said that the area may become puffy or sunken again over time due to aging. Since the duration of results and outcomes can vary from person to person, it is advisable to thoroughly check the possibility of recurrence, the need for revision surgery, and long-term changes during the consultation.261026.10.23
- 02CommentsSince swelling occurs for about four weeks after lower eyelid fat repositioning, your eyes may feel different than usual when you smile. It is best not to judge the results too early, as the area under your eyes may appear puffy or look asymmetrical when you smile. During the consultation, please show photos of yourself smiling broadly as well as photos of yourself with a neutral expression, and make sure to confirm whether the fat can be removed without excess and the connection to the tear trough can be natural.180026.10.23
- 03CommentsSince facial fat can be lost along with body fat during weight loss, potentially making under-eye hollowness appear more prominent, you can receive a consultation beforehand; however, it would be best to decide on surgery after reaching your target weight and stabilizing for about two to three months. As further facial weight loss can make under-eye hollowness more noticeable, I recommend consulting with a clinic that addresses both under-eye protrusion and hollowness.140026.10.23
- 01CommentsAfter lower eyelid fat repositioning, bruising and swelling may be noticeable for about 1 to 2 weeks, and yellow bruising may remain or the swelling may appear uneven on the left and right sides. What is important is not whether the swelling can be covered with makeup, but how long the under-eye area appears swollen. If possible, rather than having the procedure right before the weekend, allow at least 1 to 2 weeks for the appointment, and check the surgical method and estimated recovery period during the consultation.450026.10.20
- 02CommentsFor the first week after lower eyelid fat repositioning, please be especially careful to avoid keeping your head bowed for extended periods and straining your eyes. Do not rub the area under your eyes when washing your face, and it is advisable to consult with your doctor regarding when to resume wearing contact lenses or exercising. Do not rush to judge if your eyes look different while the swelling subsides; instead, take photos to compare the changes. If you experience sudden changes in vision or severe pain, do not wait and seek medical attention immediately.270026.10.20
- 03CommentsI had similar concerns, so I looked into it, and I heard that under-eye fat repositioning actually helps improve dark circles!! They say it is definitely good for eyes that have shadows caused by protruding under-eye fat~~^^460026.10.19
- 01CommentsUnder-eye fat repositioning is a procedure that flattens protruding fat, rather than altering the internal structure of the eye. Therefore, rather than drastically changing your eye shape or overall impression, it is most effective in improving a tired appearance. If you desire a natural change, we recommend consulting thoroughly with a skilled specialist. We hope you achieve great results.872026.09.30
- 02CommentsI totally relate to the stress of those unevenness that even concealer can't cover 🥹 Since there is no skin incision under the eyes (conjunctiva incision), my under-eye bags haven't disappeared at all; in fact, my under-eye area looks smoother and much more vibrant! If you rest well over the weekend after the surgery on Friday, you'll be able to lightly cover it up with makeup for work on Monday haha. I hope you get a thorough consultation and that everything goes beautifully for you!1803226.10.06
- 03CommentsIt must be very stressful for you to be worried about your under-eye area. Fat redistribution is surgery, so it can be burdensome, and Botox has the disadvantage of having a short duration of effect. First, it is essential to visit a plastic surgery or dermatology clinic to get an accurate diagnosis of your current under-eye condition. Recovery periods and effectiveness vary greatly from person to person, so I hope you find the method that suits you best through a consultation.752026.09.29
