How Under-Eye Fat Repositioning in Gangnam Transformed a Tired-Looking Expression

​

When the under-eye area appears dark orhollow,

treatments such as brightening skincare

and laser procedures may be the firstoptions that come to mind.

However, these approaches may eventuallyreach

a point where the improvement feelslimited.

​

This is because dark circles are not

always caused by pigmentation alone.​

“Can Shadows Cause Dark Circles?”

There are several reasons the under-eyearea may appear dark,

including melanin, visible blood vessels,and thin skin.​

In many cases, however,

the underlying facial structure alsoplays a significant role.

When the area above the tear troughprotrudes

while the area below appears hollow, ashadow

can form around the tear troughligament,

making the under-eye area look darker.

When dark circles are primarily causedby this structural difference,

under-eye fat repositioning may beconsidered to create a smoother transition.

Under-eye fat repositioning near SinsaStation

in Gangnam is designed to address thisuneven contour.

At LUHO Plastic Surgery, TTL under-eyefat repositioning

begins with an ultrasound assessment toidentify

the position of the tear trough ligamentand surrounding structures.

The tear trough ligament is carefullyreleased,

and the existing under-eye fat isredistributed evenly into the hollow area.

“What Did the Under-Eye Area

Look Like Before Surgery?”

​

1) Thin under-eye skin made theunderlying 

blood vessels and structures more visible

2) A subtle shadow beneath the eyes made

the dark circles appear more pronounced

Although the under-eye fat did not protrudesignificantly,

the thin skin revealed the boundary of theunder-eye area

and emphasized the structural shadow.​

The surgical plan focused on 

softeningthe visible shadow beneath the skin

and improving the balance of theunder-eye contour

without creating excessive fullness.​

“What Changed After Surgery?”

​

1) A smoother under-eye transition withless visible shadowing

2) A more even contour that created anaturally refreshed appearance

In this case, the structural shadow

that had made the dark circles appearmore noticeable was reduced,

creating a cleaner and more refreshedexpression.
