Quick Overview

• Concerns treated: Tear-trough and palpebromalar hollows, shadowing/dark circles, “tired” look, post-surgery or age-related volume loss
• Approaches: HA fillers (reversible), micro/nanofat grafting, fat repositioning with lower blepharoplasty (if eye bags present), skin-quality boosters (PRP, fractional/CO₂ or RF microneedling)
• Anesthesia: Topical ± local (non-surgical); local with sedation for surgery
• Time: 20–40 min (filler/PRP); 60–120 min (surgical)
• Downtime: 0–3 days non-surgical; ~7–10 days social downtime for surgery
• Goal: Smooth, natural lid–cheek transition—no puffiness and no overfill

Why Choose Sinsa L

• Periorbital specialists: We plan the eyelids, corners, and midface as one unit so corrections look balanced and believable.
• Safety-first technique: Cannula-first, micro-dosed deep placement to minimize Tyndall/lumps; immediate access to hyaluronidase for HA reversal.
• Honest triage: If a bulging eye bag causes the hollow, we’ll recommend fat repositioning instead of masking with filler.
• International-friendly: English guidance, photo consults, clear quotes, and travel-aware scheduling near Sinsa Station (Exit 3).

What Causes Hollow Under Eyes?

• Volume loss at the tear trough/palpebromalar groove
• Shadowing from a step-off between the lower lid and cheek
• After filler dissolution or prior surgery, the groove can look deeper
• Skin quality (thin/crepey) makes hollows appear darker

Who Is a Good Candidate?

• Visible groove causing shadows, with minimal or no bulging fat
• Healthy eyelid tone (no significant laxity)
• Realistic goals: brighter, smoother under-eyes that still look natural

Treatment Options (Customized Plan)

1) Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Tear-Trough Filler — Reversible

• Method: Cannula, deep-plane micro-aliquots to support the groove and reduce shadowing.
• Pros: Adjustable, quick, minimal downtime.
• Notes: We under-correct initially and stage if needed to avoid puffiness.

2) Micro/Nanofat Grafting — Autologous Volume

• Method: Your own fat is processed and placed to soften hollows; nanofat can also enhance skin quality.
• Pros: Natural feel, often longer-lasting than HA.
• Considerations: A bit more swelling and variability in volume take.

3) Surgical When Bags Cause the Hollow

• Transconjunctival or Subciliary Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Repositioning
  Moves protruding fat to fill the groove (often with septal reset) for a long-lasting smooth lid–cheek junction.

4) Skin Quality Add-Ons

• PRP / Skin boosters for glow and elasticity
• Fractional/CO₂ laser or RF microneedling for crepe lines (parameters tailored to your skin type)

Your Treatment Journey

1. Consultation & Imaging – Assess groove depth, bags, lid tone, skin quality, and midface support.
2. Plan & Quote – HA vs. fat vs. surgical correction; whether to add PRP/energy devices.
3. Treatment Day – Precise micro-dosing (non-surgical) or fat repositioning (surgical); same-day discharge in most cases.
4. Aftercare & Checks – Brief instructions; follow-up for fine-tuning (filler) or stitch removal/review (surgery).

Recovery Timeline (Typical)

• Filler/PRP: Mild swelling or pinpoint bruises 0–72 hrs; results settle by 1–2 weeks
• Surgery: Stitches out (if any) 5–7 days; social downtime ~7–10 days; refinement 3–6 months

Aftercare Tips

• Sleep with head elevated first 1–2 nights
• Avoid heavy exercise, saunas, alcohol for 24–48 hrs after injections; ~2 weeks after surgery
• No rubbing/pressure on treated areas for 48 hrs
• UV protection; follow ointment/silicone protocols exactly as directed

Risks & Considerations

• Filler: Swelling/bruising, transient asymmetry, Tyndall effect if superficial (we place deep), rare vascular occlusion (we mitigate with cannula, gentle technique, and on-hand hyaluronidase).
• Fat grafting: Variable take, longer swelling, rare nodules.
• Surgery: Swelling/bruising, contour irregularity, asymmetry, visible scarring (skin-incision cases), rare lid malposition—reduced with proper canthopexy support when needed.

FAQs

Will filler make me look puffy?
We avoid overfilling by using micro-doses placed deep, and we stage touch-ups rather than doing too much at once.

Does filler fix dark circles?
It helps shadow from a groove. Pigment/vascular darkness may also need skincare, PRP, or laser.

Is HA safer than fat grafting?
HA is reversible and great for first-timers. Fat can last longer but isn’t instantly reversible—both are safe in expert hands.

What if I have eye bags and hollows?
Surgery with fat repositioning usually gives the most smooth, durable result.

How soon can I fly?
Many visitors fly 3–7 days after filler; surgical patients commonly plan 7–10 days in Seoul for checks/stitch removal.
