Correcting the dark circles under the eye

Surgery Editor Nick Posting update : 2021.02.09



One of the reasons why some people look tired and old is because of the dark circles under the eyes.


Different factors are contributing to the appearance of dark circles. Among them, the thick amount of fat makes the under-eye area look more shady and gloomy.


You would like to improve this condition, and you are looking for a fast, effective, and timesaving method, do you not?


Then, under-eye fat repositioning surgery would be the best option for those who are busy and do not have much free time at their disposal.





Under-eye fat repositioning surgery is a surgery through which a doctor redistributes the excess amount of fat to the areas with little fat. This surgery works best when there is an excessive amount of fat, and that fat protrudes through the lower eyelids.


Fat repositioning is not a one-size-fits-all approach to improve dark circles because the cause of dark circles might be different.


Depending on the amount of fat, it is better to reposition fat simultaneously conducting under eye fat removal or eye fat grafting surgeries.





The treatment period is only one day after the surgery. There might be swelling and redness to some degree on the operation site. However, that should go away with 1~2 weeks. We prescribe eye drops to prevent any sorts of potential inflammation.


You should apply eye drops 3~4 times per day. Since the doctor makes an incision in the conjunctiva (inside the eyelids), there will not be any incision scars or surgical marks left.
