What does this combination correct?
This case shows revision surgery, under-eye fat repositioning and under-eye micro-fat grafting at Sinsa L Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul. Combining these procedures in one session treats several problems — unsatisfactory previous eyelid surgery; eye bags with a shadowed tear-trough groove; under-eye hollowness beyond what repositioned fat can cover — with a single recovery period. Here a previous under-eye operation had left residual bulging or hollowness, corrected by repositioning and grafting. All photos are standardised, shared with patient consent, and every case was operated by Dr. Lee himself. Individual results vary.
What was done in this case
- Revision surgery — Problems from a previous eyelid operation were diagnosed and corrected.
- Under-eye fat repositioning — Bulging under-eye fat was released and moved into the tear-trough groove through the inside of the lid.
- Under-eye micro-fat grafting — The patient's own micro-fat was added to remaining hollows for a smooth lid–cheek transition.
