Under-eye fat repositioning
A procedure that assesses and redistributes lower-eyelid fat where bulging and hollow areas affect the under-eye contour. The cause of a dark-looking under-eye area must be assessed individually.

How the approach works.
The official page describes access through the inner eyelid to adjust fat and the supporting septum. Excess skin or substantial tissue sagging may call for a different lower-eyelid approach.

Assessing the under-eye area
The consultation assesses the distribution of lower-eyelid fat and the causes of a dark-looking under-eye area.
Access through the inner eyelid
The official page describes inner-eyelid access and removal of selected excess fat.
Fat repositioning and septum support
The remaining fat is repositioned, with the supporting septum addressed as part of the plan.

Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Swelling, bruising, discomfort and scarring can occur.
Dryness, difficulty closing the eyes, asymmetry or a need for revision should be discussed.
Bleeding, infection and rare serious changes in vision require specific discussion with the surgeon.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.

A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.
Your questions, answered.
Does it treat every type of dark circle?
No. Fat position and shadowing are only part of the assessment. Pigmentation, skin quality and other causes require a separate discussion.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
