Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

Dark under-eyes may be caused by
fat bulging and shadows

Under-eye fat repositioning smooths bulging fat under the eyes
and redistributes it into hollow areas for a brighter, more even under-eye contour.

When It Helps

You may consider
under-eye fat repositioning

If your dark under-eye appearance is caused less by pigmentation and more by fat bulging, hollowness, or shadowing, repositioning the fat may help create a smoother and brighter look.

Under-Eye Bags

Bulging fat under the eyes that makes you look tired

Dark Circles

Dark-looking under-eyes caused by shadows

Tear Trough Hollowing

A hollow groove or visible transition under the eyes

Tired-Looking Eyes

A tired appearance even when you are well rested

IK Method

Not simply fat removal —
we reposition the fat where it is needed.

Under-eye fat repositioning is not simply about removing protruding fat. The bulging fat is carefully released and redistributed into the hollow tear trough area to soften the transition and reduce shadowing under the eyes.

Because the approach is made through the inner conjunctiva rather than an external skin incision, there is no visible external scar.

Even with similar under-eye concerns, the treatment plan may vary depending on fat bulging, hollowness, skin laxity, and overall under-eye structure.

FAQ

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
FAQ

Q. Will there be a visible scar?

Since the surgery is performed through the inner conjunctiva, there is no visible external skin incision scar.

Q. Can it improve dark circles?

If the dark appearance is caused by under-eye fat bulging and tear trough shadowing, improvement can be expected.

Q. Do I need stitch removal?

In most transconjunctival under-eye fat repositioning cases, dissolvable internal sutures are used to secure the repositioned fat, so external stitch removal is usually not required.

Q. Is this different from lower blepharoplasty?

If there is significant skin laxity, lower blepharoplasty may be more appropriate than fat repositioning. The most suitable option will be determined after consultation.
