If you're concerned about under-eye fat + dark circles + nasolabial folds, how to naturally rejuvenate with Vibe Plastic Surgery's signature 'Under-eye Cheek Lifting'

Hello.

I am Dr. Yu Young-moon, director of Vibe Plastic Surgery.

Which area of the face shows the first signs of aging?

Many people say it's the under-eye area.

When the under-eyes become puffy, dark circles deepen, the front cheeks hollow, and the area above the nasolabial folds begins to sag,

it makes you look much more tired and older than your actual age.

The client I'm introducing today is a woman in her late 40s,

whose biggest concerns were prominent under-eye fat,

severe dark circles,

hollowed front cheeks (apple zone),

and sagging cheek fat above the nasolabial folds, making her face look generally exhausted.

To address these issues, we performed Vibe Plastic Surgery's signature procedure,

Under-eye Cheek Lifting (under-eye fat repositioning + front cheek lifting).

Before & After

Looking at the photos, the biggest changes are in the under-eyes and midface.

✔ The puffy under-eye fat is naturally improved.

✔ The front cheeks are revitalized, creating a more three-dimensional appearance.

✔ Sagging above the nasolabial folds is improved, making the central part of the face look much younger.

✔ Furthermore, the face appears brighter and more vibrant overall.

The most significant change is not just the improvement of the under-eyes, but the entire midface being lifted, restoring a youthful facial proportion.

What is Under-eye Cheek Lifting?

Vibe Plastic Surgery's Under-eye Cheek Lifting is not just simple under-eye fat repositioning.

Under-eye Cheek Lifting = Under-eye fat repositioning + Cheek lifting + PRP skin regeneration treatment

It is Vibe Plastic Surgery's unique signature surgery that performs these procedures together.

The key is not just correcting the under-eyes, but also improving the sagging midface

to create a much more natural and youthful-looking face.

Why should the front cheeks also be lifted?

By the time people reach their 40s and 50s, the problem isn't just prominent under-eye fat.

In reality,

the front cheeks sag downwards,

the retaining ligaments loosen,

the area above the nasolabial folds hollows,

and the entire midface descends.

If only under-eye fat is repositioned in this state,

the under-eyes may improve, but the midface sagging will remain, leading to lower satisfaction.

That's why at Vibe Plastic Surgery,

we lift the front cheeks upwards along with the under-eyes to

✔ naturally connect the boundary between the under-eyes and cheeks,

✔ alleviate nasolabial folds, and

✔ create a more three-dimensional central face,

resulting in a more youthful appearance.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

As we age, the fat under the eyes tends to push forward.

If this fat is simply removed, the under-eyes may appear hollow over time.

Therefore, at Vibe Plastic Surgery, instead of simply removing the protruding fat,

we reposition it to the hollow tear trough area to naturally balance the height of the under-eyes.

This results in:

✔ Flattened under-eyes,

✔ Alleviated dark circles, and

✔ An improved tired impression.

What is PRP?

This client also underwent PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment along with the surgery.

PRP is a regenerative treatment that involves collecting a small amount of your own blood, then separating and using only the platelet-rich plasma through centrifugation.

Platelets contain various growth factors, and injecting them into the skin helps promote tissue regeneration.

Representative growth factors include PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF,

which play important roles in skin recovery and regeneration processes.

What are the effects of PRP?

PRP can help make the skin itself thicker and healthier.

Key effects include:

✔ Promoting collagen production in the dermis

✔ Improving skin elasticity

✔ Improving skin texture

✔ Regenerating thin under-eye skin

✔ Alleviating dark circles caused by visible blood vessels

✔ Promoting tissue recovery after surgery

It can be particularly helpful for those with thin under-eye skin where blood vessels are visible, causing bluish or purplish dark circles.

PRP is recommended for these individuals

Those with thin under-eye skin and severe dark circles

Those concerned about many fine wrinkles

Those who want to improve skin elasticity

Those who want to accelerate skin recovery after surgery

Those who desire natural skin regeneration effects

Those who prefer regenerative treatment using their own blood

Under-eye Cheek Lifting is recommended for these individuals

Under-eye Cheek Lifting yields higher satisfaction for those experiencing complex aging, rather than just under-eye fat.

Specifically, you might consider Under-eye Cheek Lifting if you:

✔ Have prominent under-eye fat

✔ Always look tired due to dark circles

✔ Have hollowed front cheeks and deep nasolabial folds

✔ Have a sagging midface that makes your face look long

✔ Are in your 40s-60s and desire a youthful face

✔ Have been diagnosed that under-eye fat repositioning alone would be insufficient

✔ Desire a naturally youthful appearance

Why Vibe Plastic Surgery's Under-eye Cheek Lifting is special

Aging is not just an under-eye problem.

Under-eyes, front cheeks, nasolabial folds, and skin elasticity are interconnected, so treating only one area often makes it difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

Vibe Plastic Surgery's Under-eye Cheek Lifting combines under-eye fat repositioning, front cheek lifting, and PRP-based skin regeneration

to restore youthfulness not only to the under-eyes but to the entire midface.

In this actual case, not only was the puffiness under the eyes improved, but the front cheeks were naturally revitalized, and the nasolabial folds were alleviated,

resulting in an overall brighter and more vibrant facial impression.

Under-eye aging progresses further over time.

Treatment that considers not just fat removal but also the overall facial balance and the causes of aging

is key to creating more natural and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Under-eye Cheek Lifting?

Under-eye Cheek Lifting is Vibe Plastic Surgery's signature procedure, combining under-eye fat repositioning, front cheek lifting, and PRP skin regeneration treatment. The core idea is not just to correct the under-eyes but also to improve the sagging midface, creating a natural and youthful-looking face.

Why is front cheek lifting performed simultaneously?

By the age of 40-50, not only does under-eye fat protrude, but the front cheeks sag, and the area above the nasolabial folds hollows, causing the entire midface to descend. If only under-eye fat is repositioned, midface sagging may remain, leading to lower satisfaction. Therefore, lifting the front cheeks simultaneously naturally connects the boundary between the under-eyes and cheeks and alleviates nasolabial folds.

How is under-eye fat repositioning performed?

Under-eye fat repositioning involves repositioning the protruding fat to the hollow tear trough area instead of simply removing it, thereby naturally balancing the height of the under-eyes. This can lead to flattened under-eyes, alleviated dark circles, and an improved tired impression.

What are the effects of PRP skin regeneration treatment?

PRP is a regenerative treatment using platelet-rich plasma separated from your own blood. It can promote collagen production in the dermis, improve skin elasticity and texture, regenerate thin under-eye skin, alleviate dark circles caused by visible blood vessels, and accelerate tissue recovery after surgery.

Who is Under-eye Cheek Lifting recommended for?

It is especially recommended for individuals experiencing complex aging, such as those with prominent under-eye fat, severe dark circles, hollowed front cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, a sagging midface that makes the face look long, and those in their 40s-60s who desire a youthful face.
