1. What is Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning?

Fat repositioning is a surgical procedure that involves relocating the preaponeurotic fat (the deeper layer of eyelid fat) to a new position. The ophthalmic surgeon carefully designs the surgery to reposition and contour the fat layer according to each patient’s unique eyelid structure, ensuring the most aesthetically pleasing and natural result.

2. Why is it Necessary?

Many people may believe that eyelid issues are solely related to uneven eyelid folds, hidden creases, or drooping eyelids. However, the eyelid area may also have fat-related concerns. In some cases, individuals may have protruding fat at the inner corner of the eye, while the outer corner lacks fat, resulting in a sunken appearance. Fat repositioning can be used to move fat from the inner corner of the eye to fill in the outer corner, creating a more balanced and youthful appearance. For individuals with deeply sunken eyes, repositioning deeper layers of fat to the more superficial areas of the eyelid can help create a fuller, more natural eyelid fold. Additionally, fat repositioning can give the eyelid a smoother, more naturally curved shape, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

 

3. How Long Will the Results Last?

Since the fat used in this procedure is from the eyelid area itself, rather than being taken from other parts of the body, the results will be long-lasting. There is no risk of the fat shrinking or disappearing over time, ensuring that the outcome remains stable and durable.

4. Is the Recovery Time Longer than Usual?

The recovery time is similar to that of a standard double eyelid surgery. However, the eyelid crease will appear more naturally curved and aesthetically pleasing after the procedure.
