Say goodbye to dark under-eyes.
Under-eye Fat Repositioning in Korea
RINE Plastic Surgery Clinic
What is Under-eye Fat Repositioning at RINE Plastic Surgery?
Excess fat buildup under the eyes can cause a protruding appearance, making the face look older and tired.
In such cases, under-eye fat repositioning surgery moves the fat to a different position to reduce puffiness and create a smoother under-eye area, resulting in a cleaner and brighter appearance.
The procedure is performed through the inner conjunctiva of the eye, so there are no visible external scars.
The “aegyo-sal” (natural under-eye fullness) is preserved, helping achieve a brighter and more youthful look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is under-eye fat repositioning?
It is a procedure that moves under-eye fat to a different position to reduce puffiness, smooth the under-eye area, and create a cleaner, brighter look.
How is the surgery performed?
The procedure is done through the inner conjunctiva of the eye, so there is no visible external scar.
Will my aegyo-sal be removed?
No. The aegyo-sal is preserved, and repositioning the under-eye fat can make it look more visible for a livelier, brighter appearance.
How long does the surgery take?
The surgery time is about 1 hour.
Do I need stitches removed afterward?
No. Stitch removal is not needed.
What kind of anesthesia is used?
Sedation is used for this procedure.
How long is the recovery period?
Recovery takes about 2 weeks.
Who is this procedure recommended for?
It is recommended for people with bulging under-eye fat, dark circles and a tired appearance, sunken under-eyes from lack of fat, or anyone who wants a more youthful-looking eye area and enhanced aegyo-sal.
How is under-eye fat repositioning different from lower blepharoplasty?
Under-eye fat repositioning is aimed at people in their 20s to 30s with good skin elasticity. It uses an internal conjunctival incision, focuses on fat repositioning, and does not remove skin. Lower blepharoplasty is aimed at people in their 40s to 60s with reduced skin elasticity, uses an external incision under the eyes, and can address sagging and remove excess skin.
What happens during the procedure?
The process includes examining the eye condition, making a small incision through the inner conjunctiva, releasing the tear trough ligament, redistributing the fat evenly, reinforcing the septum, securing the fat, and completing the correction for a brighter, smoother under-eye appearance.
Can this help improve dark circles?
Yes. By smoothing the under-eye area and filling sunken areas, it can improve the shadowing caused by hollowness and fat irregularities, which helps reduce the appearance of dark circles.
What results can I expect?
You can expect a smoother under-eye area, softer and clearer-looking eyes, a more youthful look through improvement of wrinkles and puffiness, reduced dark circles, minimal scarring and swelling through the conjunctival incision, and a more balanced appearance.
