Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Transconjunctival Orbital Fat Repositioning and Septal Tightening to Smooth Tear Troughs and Dark Circles Without External Scars
Overview of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Protruding orbital fat pads combined with a depressed tear trough create dark shadows and a fatigued impression even in younger patients. At Soul Plastic Surgery, Under-Eye Fat Repositioning is performed through a hidden transconjunctival incision inside the lower eyelid—leaving no external skin scar.
Surgical Principles
- Transconjunctival Micro-Incision: Accesses the medial, central, and lateral lower orbital fat compartments through the inner conjunctiva.
- Tear Trough Ligament Release & Fat Repositioning: Releases the tight tear trough ligament and transposes excess orbital fat smoothly over the infraorbital rim to fill hollow grooves.
- Orbital Septum Reinforcement: Tightens the weakened orbital septum to minimize long-term recurrence while preserving the natural pretarsal roll (aegyo-sal).
For patients with significant lower eyelid skin laxity and wrinkles, please also review our Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty program, or book a consultation on our Online Consultation page.
Clinical Risk & Side-Effect Notice: Individual outcomes vary by anatomy and healing response. Potential side effects such as bleeding, infection, inflammation, swelling, or asymmetry may occur; please consult directly with a board-certified specialist prior to treatment.
