Under-Eye Fat Repositioning in Korea

01 — Overview

Fat Repositioning

Fat repositioning moves protruding under-eye bag fat down into the hollow tear-trough — smoothing the transition for a rested, natural under-eye in one step.

Instead of simply removing eye-bag fat, repositioning relocates it to fill the hollow below, correcting both the bulge and the shadowed tear-trough together. Usually done through the inner lid with no external scar, it gives a smooth, natural under-eye and avoids the hollowed look that removal alone can cause.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The most suitable approach depends on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will recommend the best option for you.

  • Transconjunctival Approach — Done through the inner lid — no external scar.
  • Fat Relocation — Bag fat is moved into the tear-trough to fill the hollow.
  • Fat Redistribution — The amount and placement of fat are tailored to your anatomy for balanced, natural-looking results.
  • With Fat Grafting — Extra volume where the hollow is deep.
