FAQ
How much does under eye fat repositioning cost in Korea?
The cost of under eye fat repositioning surgery in Korea can vary depending on the clinic and the price ranges from ₩2,500,000 to ₩4,000,000.
How long does the result of under eye fat repositioning surgery last?
The results of under eye fat repositioning surgery are long-lasting. The fat that is repositioned tends to stay in place, and because the procedure addresses the underlying structural issues, the results can last many years. However, the natural aging process will continue and may result in additional procedures in the future.
Will there be a visible scar after under eye fat repositioning?
Under eye fat repositioning is typically done through the conjunctiva, the inner surface of the lower eyelids, avoiding visible scars. In some cases where an external incision is necessary, the incision will be along the lower eyelid lash line resulting in very minimal and easily concealable scars.
How does under eye fat repositioning differ from lower blepharoplasty?
Under eye fat repositioning focuses on redistributing the fat in the lower eyelid to smooth the bulging eye bags, resulting in a more youthful appearance. It addresses eye bags, hollows, and dark circles which give a tired and dark appearance. Lower blepharoplasty involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the lower eyelids. While they both address similar aesthetic concerns, lower blepharoplasty addresses the wrinkles and sagging skin, while fat repositioning surgery is more focused on contouring the under eye.
What is the recovery for under eye fat repositioning?
Initial recovery generally takes about 5 to 7 days. During the first few days, swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the eyes are normal. Most patients fully recover after several weeks.
