* Basic Information

# Male, 20s

# Under-eye fat: Moderate to severe bulging

# Skin condition: Minimal skin laxity, but reddish discoloration

# Main complaint: ‘People keep asking if I’m tired, even when I’m not ㅠ’

* Consultation

# This condition is commonly referred to as 'dark circles', but the accurate term is 'tear trough deformity'.

# Since there was no significant skin laxity, skin excision was not necessary.

# The plan was to access through the conjunctiva (the red tissue inside the eye) to avoid external scarring, reposition the protruding fat, and regenerate the dermis with PRP injections to improve skin tone.

​* Post-operative progress

​# Not only was the bulging fat resolved, but the skin tone also appears brighter, doesn’t it? The results are satisfying :)

# Key points

1. The skin under the eyes is naturally thin, making blood vessels and pigmentation easily visible, which often creates a messy appearance.​

2. Under-eye fat repositioning surgery does not require stitch removal, and bruising and swelling are not severe, allowing for a quick return to daily life. If you have about 2-3 days of downtime, there will be no major disruption to your daily routine, so there's no need to hesitate, right?

3. PRP is a procedure that involves injecting concentrated plasma components from your own blood, which contain the highest amount of growth factors. It has proven excellent effects in regenerating the dermis, brightening skin tone, and refining skin texture, making it a highly sought-after treatment!

Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
