“Even if you try to cover it with concealer,

the shadow under my eyes doesn’t go away.”

The center of the face is the area where people’s gaze

rests the longest.

​

Especially under the eyes, it conveys fatigue, age, and impression

all at once.

​

The customer who visited our clinic

wanted to reduce the shadow under the eyes that could not be hidden,

and considered lower eyelid dark circle surgery.

"Why does the under-eye area look dull?"

As causes of a dull under-eye area,

people think of pigmentation or vascular issues.

​

However, in many cases, changes in fat position create shadows,

making them look like dark circles.

​

In other words, it may not just be a color issue,

but a structural one.

"Preoperative structural analysis before lower eyelid surgery"

✔️ Fat bulging: a typical under-eye type with bulging centered on the inner side

✔️ Tear trough: fat and hollowing occur at the same time,

making the shadow look deeper structurally
 

Although it was not a case of severe sagging,

it was a mixed structure showing both bulging and hollowing,

rather than simple excess fat.

​

Through repositioning, we aimed to organize the inner fat

and soften the boundary of the tear trough.

"Sinsa Station lower eyelid surgery,

what process should come first before proceeding?"

The under-eye structure varies in fat distribution, thickness, and depth of hollowing,

so a detailed plan considering the direction of movement and left-right balance

must be made.

​

At our clinic, after an ultrasound examination, we perform an objective analysis

of the under-eye fat and surrounding tissues, then

carefully set the scope of repositioning.

​

In addition, as an eye-specialized clinic,

we provide accurate diagnosis and planning based on extensive clinical experience.

"The key to the changed under-eye area is"

✨Reduced fat bulging: the inner puffiness is organized, reducing the overly hollow look

✨Tear trough: the boundary of the inner shadow softens, making the fat-cheek line more natural

With a correction plan centered on the inner side through repositioning,

we eased the bulging areas and filled the hollow ones.

​

The shadowed under-eye area was smoothed out,

creating a brighter eye area without looking obvious.
