As we age naturally,

the skin and fat under our eyes tend to stretch and sag.

These changes can make

the entire face look tired

and give a strong impression of aging.

The eyes, in particular, are the first area people look at

when meeting others,

making them an even greater concern.

Today, for those who are bothered by dark under-eyes

and a tired impression,

let's explore some helpful information together.

Reasons for Under-Eye Fat Accumulation

These can largely be divided into two factors:

First, changes in skin and muscles due to aging.

As we get older, skin elasticity decreases,

and the muscles and ligaments that support the eye area weaken,

failing to hold the fat in place properly.

As a result,

fat pushes forward,

making the under-eye area appear puffy,

and the shadows created beneath it

can make dark circles more prominent.

The second factor is genetic.

If there's a history of severe under-eye fat in your family,

due to genetic structure or fat distribution,

the under-eye area can become puffy

even at a young age.

Many people try non-surgical methods like fillers or lasers to improve these symptoms,

but for issues related to fat position,

it's often difficult to achieve satisfactory results

with non-surgical methods alone.

In such cases, a more fundamental solution to consider

is Seomyeon under-eye fat removal surgery.

What is Under-Eye Fat Removal?

It refers to a surgical procedure that improves the appearance by removing or repositioning

some of the sagging fat under the eyes, which is the main cause of

bulging under-eye fat or hollow tear troughs that resemble dark circles.

This Seomyeon under-eye fat removal

helps to sharpen the eye contour and improve dark circles.

Undergoing Seomyeon under-eye fat removal can lead to

removal of bulging under-eye fat,

improvement of sagging under-eye skin,

a brighter and more vibrant image,

and a youthful eye-shaping effect,

allowing for an overall image transformation.

So, in which cases

should one consider Seomyeon under-eye fat removal?

If the skin around the eyes is very thin or lacks elasticity,

if under-eye fat and dark circles are severe,

if the amount of under-eye fat is congenitally large,

if severe under-eye skin sagging makes one look older,

or if tear troughs appear deeply hollow, among other reasons,

Seomyeon under-eye fat removal can be considered.

At Four Seasons,

we perform Seomyeon under-eye fat removal

not just as simple fat removal,

but as a triple-composite treatment combining

fat removal + fat repositioning + septal reinforcement.

This method not only addresses aesthetic aspects

but also improves the structural stability of the under-eye area,

leading to more natural and long-lasting results.

First, unnecessary fat is delicately removed

to smooth out the puffiness under the eyes.

Second, remaining autologous fat is repositioned

to naturally fill in hollow areas.

Third, the septum (diaphragm) that encloses the under-eye fat

is strengthened after surgery to prevent the fat from pushing out again,

and the under-eye area is firmly secured to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

This triple-composite treatment

is a method that improves not only visible problems

but also fundamental issues within the internal structure.

Four Seasons performs surgery using only autologous fat,

removing unnecessary fat and repositioning remaining fat

to fill in hollow areas.

Since the surgery is customized according to the individual's eye shape and tissue condition,

it is crucial to have a thorough consultation with medical staff

to choose the most suitable surgical method for you.

The effects of procedures and surgeries

can vary depending on individual skin condition, age, tissue structure, etc.,

so please make sure to determine the appropriate method for you

through accurate diagnosis and consultation.

Especially since the under-eye area has thin and sensitive skin,

a thorough consultation with professional medical staff is essential,

and understanding potential side effects during the recovery period after surgery is also important.

Furthermore, it is advisable to make a careful choice

considering not only short-term results but also long-term effects and satisfaction.
