The Korean secret to looking 10 years younger.
Eye bags are not just about age; they are about **structural displacement**. The orbital fat that cushions the eye protrudes forward, creating a bulge, while the "tear trough" below it deepens, creating a shadow (dark circle).
Simply removing the fat is an outdated method that leads to hollow, sunken eyes. **Korean Under-Eye Fat Repositioning** solves two problems at once: it flattens the bulge and fills the hollow groove using your own living tissue.
Whether you need a scarless internal approach or a skin-tightening lift, we customize the plan to restore smooth, bright under-eyes.
We strictly separate the bulging fat from the muscle roll under the lashes (Aegyo-sal) to maintain a youthful, smiling expression.
We strengthen the orbital septum (the wall holding the fat) to prevent the bags from bulging out again in the future.
By leveling the "peaks and valleys" under the eye, shadows disappear naturally without the need for thick makeup.
Diagnosis determines the incision method.
Dark circles make you look older than you are.

Advanced techniques for long-lasting smoothness.
The incision is made inside the lower eyelid (conjunctiva). There is absolutely no scar visible on the face. We unlock the herniated fat and spread it evenly over the tear trough bone.
An incision is made just below the lower lashes. We remove loose, wrinkly skin and lift the drooping muscle (SOOF lift) while repositioning the fat.
| Feature | Transconjunctival (Repositioning) | Lower Blepharoplasty (Lift) |
|---|---|---|
| Incision Site | Inside Eyelid (Pink area) | Subciliary (Below lashes) |
| Skin Removal | No | Yes (Tightens skin) |
| Scar Visibility | None | Fades under lash line (3-6 mo) |
| Primary Goal | Fat Bulge & Dark Circles | Sagging Skin & Deep Wrinkles |
| Estimated Cost | $1,500 ~ $2,500 | $2,500 ~ $4,000 |
* Prices may vary based on the complexity of fat rearrangement and anesthesia type.
A quick return to daily life.
Small tapes are applied under the eyes to compress swelling. Vision is not obstructed.
For Lower Blepharoplasty, stitches are removed. (Transconjunctival has no stitches to remove).
Bruising (yellowish) disappears completely. Makeup can cover any remaining signs.
The tissues integrate fully. The under-eye area looks natural, bright, and flat.
Preventing complications is as important as the result.
Removing too much skin can cause the eyelid to flip outward. We calculate the safe excision amount precisely and perform "Canthopexy" (muscle anchoring) if needed.
We do not just throw away the fat. We reuse it to fill the tear trough, preventing the "skeletal" look often seen after aggressive removal.
The dark shadow is often caused by a tight ligament pulling the skin. We release this ligament to ensure the under-eye area becomes truly flat.
