Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

How precisely
the repositioned fat is secured
determines the outcome

Many clinics perform under-eye fat repositioning.
Pleasure secures the repositioned fat at two points — internally and externally — simultaneously.
Using our proprietary suture, dual internal and external fixation is applied to design long-lasting results with a lower chance of recurrence.

Why Pleasure

Why Pleasure
Is Different

Three pillars — fixation strength, suture quality, and recovery —
define the excellence of our Under-Eye Fat Repositioning.

POINT 01

Dual Internal & External Fixation

Holding power from two points

The repositioned fat is secured simultaneously at two points. Compared to single-point fixation, there is less room for the fat to shift, keeping results more stable.

POINT 02

Pleasure Proprietary Suture

Dedicated suture for stronger fixation

We use a proprietary suture developed based on sutures used in university hospital surgeries. The structure and binding strength of the thread itself increases fixation and enhances durability.

POINT 03

Designed for Fast Recovery

Return to daily life in 2-3 days

Dissection is minimized and hemostasis is precisely performed to reduce bruising and swelling. Post-operative clinic visits are kept to a minimum, easing the recovery burden for busy patients.

+ Septal Reinforcement Included

One of the root causes of under-eye fat protrusion is weakening of the orbital septum surrounding the fat. Pleasure reinforces the septum alongside fat repositioning to reduce the chance of recurrence and maintain results longer. The septal reinforcement approach is fine-tuned case by case as a key step in achieving a complete result.

Dual Fixation System

Secured at Two Points —
Internally and Externally, Simultaneously

Fixation strength is the key to keeping repositioned fat in place.
Pleasure applies both internal and external fixation simultaneously, stabilizing the fat from two directions.

Internal

Internal Fixation

Fat secured to internal ocular tissue

Using Pleasure proprietary suture, repositioned fat is stably secured to firm internal tissue. Fat position is held without any visible external scar.

No external scar · No follow-up visit required

External

External Fixation

Additional securing from outside the skin

Movement in directions difficult to control with internal fixation alone is supplemented by external securing. One follow-up visit for suture removal is required, but this method provides the strongest hold.

1 follow-up visit for suture removal

By securing both internally and externally simultaneously, you can expect more stable results and a lower chance of recurrence compared to single-point fixation.

Proprietary Suture

The Difference in Fixation
Starts With the Suture

Even with the same fixation method, fixation strength and durability vary depending on the suture used.

Custom Cases

Surgical Approach Varies
by Under-Eye Condition

The amount of fat, tear trough depth, and degree of skin laxity —
different conditions require different approaches.

Case 01
Case 01 Before BEFORE
Case 01 After AFTER

Excessive under-eye fat causing visible puffiness

Protrusion and tear trough hollowing often appear together.

Surgical Approach

After releasing the tear trough ligament, fat is redistributed evenly; excess fat is partially removed. Results are stabilized with septal reinforcement and dual internal & external fixation.

Case 02
Case 02 Before BEFORE
Case 02 After AFTER

Adequate fat volume, but protrusion caused by weakened tear trough ligament

Preserving the fat while repositioning it is the key.

Surgical Approach

Tear trough ligament is released and fat is redistributed evenly. Septal reinforcement and customized fixation help maintain stable results and prevent recurrence.

Case 03
Case 03 Before BEFORE
Case 03 After AFTER

Insufficient under-eye fat or deep tear troughs causing a hollow, sunken appearance

Repositioning alone may not be enough to restore volume.

Surgical Approach

After Under-Eye Fat Repositioning, micro Fat Grafting is added to deficient areas to balance volume. Preventive septal reinforcement may also be considered.

Case 04
Case 04 Before BEFORE
Case 04 After AFTER

Protruding fat with skin laxity — a combined Lower Blepharoplasty case

If loose skin remains after fat repositioning alone, results may be incomplete.

Surgical Approach

Fat repositioning after tear trough ligament release, combined with Lower Blepharoplasty to address skin laxity. Septal reinforcement and dual fixation prevent recurrence.

Case 05
Case 05 Before BEFORE
Case 05 After AFTER

Tear trough hollowing creating shadowing with accompanying skin pigmentation

Both structural and skin-related causes must be addressed together.

Surgical Approach

Tear trough improvement and micro Fat Grafting for volume restoration. When skin pigmentation is present, toning laser treatment is combined for ongoing management.

Fast Recovery

Back to Daily Life
in 2-3 Days After Surgery

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning is often thought to require a long recovery, but this varies greatly depending on the surgical approach.
Pleasure follows these principles to shorten recovery time and accelerate your return to daily life.

PRINCIPLE 01

Minimized Dissection Range

Only the necessary area is dissected to minimize tissue damage, reducing bruising and swelling for a faster recovery.

PRINCIPLE 02

Precise Hemostasis

Meticulous hemostasis during surgery minimizes bleeding, reducing bruising and helping swelling subside more quickly.

PRINCIPLE 03

Minimized Clinic Visits

Post-operative care is completed with just one visit for external suture removal, minimizing recovery burden even for busy patients.

FAQ

Before Under-Eye Fat Repositioning —
Frequently Asked Questions

Q How does dual internal & external fixation differ from standard fixation?
Standard Under-Eye Fat Repositioning typically uses internal fixation only. Pleasure also secures the fat externally at the same time, holding the fat position from two directions. This leaves less room for the fat to shift, maintaining more stable results and reducing the chance of recurrence. One clinic visit for external suture removal is required.
Q How is the proprietary suture different from a standard suture?
Pleasure proprietary suture is a dedicated suture developed based on sutures used in university hospital surgeries. Its structure and binding strength are superior to standard sutures, providing higher fixation durability. It is used with a needle optimized for Under-Eye Fat Repositioning to securely anchor to firm tissue.
Q I had a recurrence at another clinic — can I have revision surgery?
Yes, revision surgery is possible. However, revision cases are more complex due to altered tissue conditions, making them more demanding than primary surgery. We will first thoroughly assess your current under-eye condition and previous surgical method before advising on revision options.
Q When can I return to daily life after surgery?
With dual internal & external fixation, most patients return to daily life within 2-3 days after external suture removal. Full swelling resolution and final results are typically achieved around 1-3 months. Individual results may vary.
Q Will the surgical scar be visible?
Access is made through the inner conjunctiva (mucous membrane), so there is no visible external incision scar. External fixation sutures are placed on the skin surface, but leave virtually no trace after removal. When combined with Lower Blepharoplasty, an incision is made along the lower lash line, which naturally fades with time.
