[Press] Choosing under-eye fat repositioning according to the surrounding skin

Many people tell us about the distress caused by under-eye fat. At GGN Plastic Surgery, patients often share how long the problem has bothered them when asking about under-eye fat repositioning.

Did you know that the condition of the skin around the eyes should guide the choice of surgical method? Read Dr. Jang Joon-Chul’s explanation below.

After the thirties, under-eye fat may begin to protrude, creating a hollow beneath it and making dark circles look more pronounced. Looking in the mirror every day may make the gradual change hard to notice; seeing the face again after some time makes it clearer. Foundation or concealer can cover dark circles but cannot fundamentally correct them. Heavy makeup can also irritate the skin under the eyes.

As a result, more people are considering under-eye fat surgery. This involves removing protruding fat or repositioning it into the hollow under-eye groove. Specialists explain that filling the hollow by repositioning fat—not simply removing a bulge—is important.

Dr. Jang Joon-Chul of GGN Plastic Surgery, pictured in the article, emphasizes reinforcing the loosened septal support associated with fat protrusion to help prevent recurrence. Aftercare is also important.

A detailed assessment is necessary because the choice between fat removal and repositioning, and the specific technique, depends on the individual and the surrounding skin condition. Dr. Jang advises seeking an individualized operation based on extensive clinical experience.
