My eyes are usually dry, so I tend to use artificial tears often.
I want to get lower eyelid fat repositioning, but since it is surgery around the eyes, I am worried that my existing dry eye condition might get worse.
Has anyone had surgery for dry eye syndrome? I am curious if you received an ophthalmological checkup or consultation before the surgery.

- 01CommentsSince lower eyelid fat repositioning is often performed through the conjunctiva, you may experience temporary dryness or stiffness immediately after surgery. In most cases, this sensation gradually subsides as swelling goes down and recovery occurs; however, if you have a history of dry eyes, it is advisable to inform your surgeon of your eye condition beforehand. If necessary, it is also a safe approach to consult an ophthalmologist beforehand. Please feel free to consult with us without any pressure.141026.11.09
- 02CommentsUnder-eye fat repositioning has the advantage of leaving no visible scars or stitches on the outside because the incision is made inside the conjunctiva. Although individual differences exist, significant swelling and bruising usually begin to fade gradually after about 3 to 5 days. If you rest for about 3 days, including the weekend, you can resume your daily activities while covering the area with glasses or light makeup. Applying a cold compress consistently immediately after the procedure will further aid in your recovery. I hope you have great results!231026.11.08
- 03CommentsUsually, if the incision is made inside the conjunctiva, there are no external stitches, so you can apply light makeup and return to work starting 3 to 4 days after surgery. However, some yellow bruising or residual swelling around the eyes may remain for about a week, so lightly covering it with concealer will make it look completely natural.260026.11.05
- 01CommentsThe recommended treatment for under-eye issues varies depending on whether the problem is due to hollowness, shadows caused by protruding fat, or hyperpigmentation. If under-eye fat repositioning is too daunting, it would be beneficial to first accurately identify the cause and explore other options. If you are concerned about hollowness under your eyes, it is important to consider the thickness of the skin and the amount of fat before making a decision, rather than simply choosing lifting or fillers. Under-eye fillers can also cause bruising, swelling, or unevenness, so they are not necessarily the safest option. If hyperpigmentation is the primary cause, other treatments such as laser therapy may be considered. Since treatment varies depending on the cause, please consult a specialist with extensive experience in treating under-eye conditions.550026.10.28
- 02CommentsIt seems you are under a lot of stress due to concerns about your under-eye area. As you mentioned, the solution for under-eye shadows varies completely depending on whether the issue is caused by fat or skin hollowness. If the fat is bulging, fat redistribution is effective, but if hollowness is the problem, fillers or micro-fat grafting may be necessary. First and foremost, it is most important to consult with a plastic surgeon to get an accurate diagnosis of the cause. Please don't worry too much, and I hope you seek help from a professional.643026.10.28
- 03CommentsUnder-eye fat repositioning generally takes about 30 minutes to an hour, but this can vary depending on whether fat is removed, the degree of skin sagging, and the surgical method used. If you are in your 60s, it is important to also check the skin elasticity, wrinkles, and fat condition under your eyes. Since this is your first surgery, you may be concerned, so please make your decision after receiving a thorough consultation regarding the anesthesia method, recovery period, and estimated surgery time.1181126.11.03
- 01CommentsUnder-eye fat repositioning is a surgical procedure that improves the contours of the under-eye area by redistributing protruding fat to sunken areas. Swelling and bruising typically last for about 1 to 2 weeks, and patients often return to their daily activities within a few days to 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their condition. Fat grafting can be considered when volume is lacking not only under the eyes but also in the surrounding areas, but it is not necessary for everyone. If you frequently rub your eye area due to contact dermatitis, it is advisable to treat the inflammation and itching first, and to have your skin condition and fine wrinkles diagnosed as well. Since fat repositioning alone cannot resolve skin wrinkles or pigmentation, it is best to make a decision after a thorough consultation.1611026.10.10
- 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.744326.10.23
- 03CommentsSince under-eye fat repositioning involves redistributing fat and fixing the membrane, the results typically last for about 5 to 10 years, although individual differences exist. Changes can occur due to the aging process or habits like rubbing your eyes, so regular care is important. If you are currently under significant stress due to sagging under your eyes, I recommend consulting a specialist first rather than delaying the procedure. I hope you achieve satisfactory results.2071026.10.10
