Transconjunctival fat reposition

What you need to know

before transconjunctival fat reposition

to improve under-eye condition!

There are many people who are worried about the fat and dark circles under their eyes. From the mid-20s, our skin begins to age around the eyes, and when we reach our 30s, the aging speed increases, so we can feel it much faster. In particular, it is the fat under the eyes that is bumpy or bulging and makes you look tired and old. As the lower eyelid tissue that covers the under eye loosens, the elasticity of the skin decreases and the power to support the fat under the eyes decreases, making the fat under the eyes looks more visible.

In the case of congenital fat mass, this phenomenon also occurs in younger people. In addition, people with thin skin may have dark circles with dark blue glow as thick blood vessels are visible under their eyes.

Transconjunctival fat reposition is the method to improve the condition. It rearranges the bumpy fat to flatten it above the bone of the lower eyelids. This method is a highly preferred operation since the skin incision is not visible and the procedure is relatively simple compared to other operation.

However, it is important to know the precautions and side effects of the surgery. Occasionally, the under eye condition looks rather hollow, there’s still left bulging fat, and wrinkles become more severe even after transconjunctival fat reposition.

Transconjunctival fat reposition is a principle of filling ligaments of the tear troughs (the part that is hollowed like a furrow under the eyes) using the fat under eye eyes. If the fat under the eyes, which is used as this method, is excessive, bulging may remain after surgery. In this case, there are methods to remove the remaining fat through revision or to strengthen the orbital septum, which serves as a support so that the fat under the eyes does not come out.

Conversely, if the transconjunctival fat reposition is overcorrected, revision can be performed depending on the condition, and the hollow parts can be filled with autologous fat or filler. Above all, to prevent such side effects, whether there is a fat bag under the eye before surgery to know if it is necessary to remove or rearrange the fat, whether there is only sagging skin or muscle without the fat, whether it can be improved through an incision inside of the lower eyelids, and whether skin or tissues should be excised together as well as fat reposition should be carefully checked with a specialist.

Also, since transconjunctival fat reposition is not a surgery to remove wrinkles around the eyes, lower blepharoplasty or a more suitable procedure should be considered to improve the wrinkles.
