Prologue

Bulging under-eye fat and a deeply hollowed groove beneath the eyes cause dark circles, giving a dark, tired, older impression. APEX transconjunctival fat repositioning works through the conjunctiva to move excess protruding fat into the hollow area or to remove it, resolving the bulge under the eyes while helping to improve the hollowing and shadowing at the same time. Because the surgery is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid, no scar shows on the outside, which eases the burden, and the eyes and overall impression can become brighter and livelier.

Cause

Why under-eye fat protrudes

Learn what causes the fat under the eyes to bulge.

Under-eye fat originally serves to cushion the eyeball,
It is the fat around the eyeball. The reason under-eye fat protrudes severely is

  • First,

    When the bone is congenitally depressed, there is no bony support under the fat, so
    This is when the fat protrudes downward.

  • Second,

    With age the fat pockets weaken, letting fat slip forward and bulge
    This is the case at onset. When under-eye fat protrudes severely,
    Skin sagging and fine lines may occur along with it.
