Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

From puffy, dull under-eyes to
bright, refreshed under-eyes!

Under-eye fat repositioning is a procedure that moves fat beneath the eyes to hollowed areas. It simultaneously addresses under-eye puffiness and dark circles, transforming the eye area into a bright, smooth appearance. The surgery is performed through the inner conjunctiva, leaving no visible scars.


HUGO Plastic Surgery's

At HUGO, we prioritize under-eye fat repositioning and tailor the approach to each individual's symptoms.
If there is excess fat, we remove it; if fat is insufficient, we additionally perform fat grafting.
Through personalized 1:1 treatment, we help you achieve smooth under-eyes and a brighter appearance.

    We reduce unnatural changes
    to create a natural eye shape and expression.

    Detailed 3D Design & Customized Surgery

    We perform surgery with a design that considers

Under-Eye Fat Symptoms by Age

Under-eye fat typically presents different symptoms at each age, becoming
progressively more saggy and severe with aging.
HUGO Plastic Surgery provides age- and symptom-specific
customized surgery to brighten the under-eye area.

  • 20s

    Orbital fat protrudes,
    causing puffy under-eyes

  • 30s

    Orbital fat increasingly protrudes,
    making tear troughs appear sunken

  • 40s

    Orbital fat sags and
    tear troughs become more prominent

  • 50s

    Skin along the tear trough discolors,
    causing a severely fatigued appearance

For Successful Results,
Thorough and Detailed Analysis Is Essential!

HUGO Plastic Surgery's middle-aged eye surgery accurately analyzes various symptoms including
eyelid sagging, aging-related wrinkles, and periocular fat distribution before proceeding with surgery.

  • Eyelid Sagging and Wrinkle Analysis

    We analyze age-related eyelid
    sagging and eyelid wrinkles.

  • Eyelid Hollowing (Recession) Analysis

    We analyze the degree of hollowing
    caused by insufficient eyelid fat.

  • Under-eye Fat and Wrinkle Analysis

    We analyze the degree of
    under-eye fat and wrinkles.

  • Ptosis Assessment

    We assess whether ptosis is present
    due to eyelid sagging.

  • Periocular Fat Volume and Position Analysis

    We analyze the amount and position
    of fat around the eyes.

  • Eye Muscle Analysis

    We analyze the condition of the levator
    muscle and orbicularis oculi muscle.

  • Front Cheekbone Development

    We thoroughly analyze whether the
    front cheekbone volume is adequate.

  • Skin Type and Thickness Analysis

    We precisely analyze the individual's
    skin type and thickness.

Middle-aged Eye Surgery
Requires a Different Approach
Than General Cosmetic Eye Surgery.

Satisfying results can only be achieved by analyzing the eye condition
from multiple angles and considering both aesthetics and functionality.

  1. 01

    Detailed consultation on desired eye shape and degree of impression change

  2. 02

    Surgical planning through analysis of aging-related eye changes and shape improvement

  3. 03

    Precise and efficient surgery that minimizes tissue damage

  4. 04

    Consideration of additional procedures to maximize results

The key is firmly fixing repositioned fat
and reinforcing the septum to prevent recurrence!

When under-eye wrinkles are not severe but fat causes puffiness and tear troughs
appear sunken, under-eye fat repositioning surgery is effective.
After surgery, septum reinforcement and fat fixation prevent recurrence.
If fat is excessive, additional fat removal is performed;
if fat is insufficient,
additional nano fat grafting is performed.

  • 01
    Before Surgery

    Puffy under-eyes and deeply sunken tear troughs

  • 02
    Conjunctival Incision

    Precise incision through the inner conjunctiva

  • 03
    Tear Trough Adhesion Release

    Releasing ligament adhesions in the sunken tear trough area

  • 04
    Fat Repositioning

    Protruding fat is moved to the
    sunken tear trough area (repositioned)
    (partial fat removal if fat is excessive)

  • 05
    Septum Reinforcement & Fat Fixation

    After fat repositioning, the septum is reinforced
    and fat is fixed to prevent recurrence

  • 06
    After Surgery

    Under-eye fat and tear troughs neatly corrected

If the under-eye (tear trough) still appears
sunken after fat repositioning due to
insufficient fat — additional nano fat grafting

If the effect is minimal after under-eye fat repositioning due to insufficient fat,
additional fat grafting can be performed.
Purified fat is injected in small, uniform amounts into the sunken under-eye area
to smooth the surface and enhance volume.
