Under-eye fat repositioning is a surgical procedure designed to improve a tired and shadowed appearance caused by bulging under-eye fat. To address under-eye puffiness and laxity, excess fat can be removed and repositioned through the conjunctiva, helping create a smoother, more youthful-looking under-eye contour.
At NANA Plastic Surgery, our eye surgery specialists provide an accurate assessment of each patient’s individual condition and apply NANA’s specialized surgical techniques to help achieve a more balanced and natural-looking result.

Q & A answered by NANA Plastic Surgery
How do I tell the difference between aegyo-sal and sagging under-eye fat?
The area directly beneath the eyes that becomes more prominent when smiling is known as aegyo-sal, or natural under-eye fullness. In contrast, sagging or bulging tissue located below this area is commonly referred to as under-eye fat.
Unlike aegyo-sal, which can give the eyes a youthful and charming appearance, excess or bulging under-eye fat may accentuate dark circles and create a tired, shadowed, or aged appearance.

NANA's guide to
precautions after eye surgery
01
Washing, showering & makeup
Washing your hair and showering are possible from the day after surgery, but be careful not to let water touch the wound.Please be careful, as straining your eyes may cause pooled blood to come out. Eye makeup and contact lenses are possible after 4 weeks. To prevent the double eyelid from loosening or changing shape, avoid eye makeup for one month, and contact lenses, which can irritate the conjunctiva, can be worn after one month.
02
Recovery
Conjunctival swelling or redness may occur after surgery.Conjunctival swelling (the conjunctiva appears white and swollen) or redness may occur after surgery. These symptoms resolve naturally within 2–4 weeks and are common after surgery, so there is no need to worry. A temporary increase in tearing or eye discharge is also a common reaction after surgery and improves over time.
03
Swelling care
Swelling subsides over 3–6 months after surgery.It is normal for swelling to appear asymmetrical, as the two sides may swell or subside differently. Any visible asymmetry from swelling improves over time until the swelling has fully subsided.
Apply warm/cold compresses at the appropriate times after surgery.Cold compresses are recommended for the first 3 days after surgery while the face is swollen. They help prevent bleeding and reduce swelling. From day 4 after surgery, warm compresses are recommended for effective management of swelling and bruising.
04
Wound care
Care for the area with eye ointment and eye drops.Apply a thin layer of eye ointment to the surgical site morning and evening using a clean cotton swab. If you were prescribed eye drops, apply them to the conjunctiva 2–3 times a day. Milia may form along the incision line after surgery. Small white milia the size of millet grains may form along the incision line after surgery, but they disappear naturally over time. However, if they have not disappeared after 3 months, they can be simply removed at the clinic depending on their condition.
05
Alcohol & smoking
Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking for 1 month after surgery.Alcohol and smoking adversely affect bleeding, wound healing, and infection, so we recommend avoiding them for 1 month after surgery.
06
Sleeping position
Please check the recommended sleeping positions for 3 months after surgery.For the first week after surgery, avoid bending your neck while sleeping and keep your upper body elevated so your head is higher than your heart, which helps swelling subside faster. Also, do not sleep on your side or on your stomach; sleep facing the ceiling.
