Most Frequently Asked Question!
What’s the difference between Aegyo-sal and under-eye fat?
The main difference between Aegyo-sal and under-eye fat is their location.
Aegyo-sal is the small bulge right below the iris, while under-eye fat is the puffiness beneath that area.
Protruding under-eye fat causes shadows and a tired look, so correcting it results in a brighter and younger appearance.

Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
We have compiled some frequently asked questions about lower eyelid fat repositioning.
Q. Does under-eye fat repositioning help with dark circles?
Since the surgery is done through the inner conjunctiva, it doesn't affect the skin, but smoothing out the under-eye area can improve the appearance of dark circles.
Q. Will my Aegyo-sal disappear after fat repositioning?
The surgery has no direct effect on Aegyo-sal.
However, in people with little to no natural Aegyo-sal, the under-eye area may appear smoother after surgery, making it seem like Aegyo-sal has disappeared.
In such cases, Aegyo-sal fillers are recommended together with the fat repositioning procedure.
Q. When is the best time to get under-eye surgery?
It varies by individual, but if you have puffiness or sagging under the eyes even at a young age, surgery can be more effective thanks to better skin elasticity.
After Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Precautions and Aftercare Tips
- Swelling or bruising may occur during the first two days after surgery, but it will gradually subside thereafter.
- Apply a small amount of ointment to the incision area twice a day using a cotton swab, just enough to keep the stitches from drying out.
- Cold compresses are recommended for the first 2–3 days after surgery. Place a thin towel or handkerchief over your eyes first, then place the hospital-provided ice pack on top for the compress.
- You can wash your face and apply makeup starting the day after your stitches are removed.
- Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on your eyes until the double eyelid crease fully settles.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses for about three weeks; if needed, use glasses or sunglasses during this period.
- Avoid aerobics, weight training, or intense workouts for at least 4 weeks, except for light walking.
- Avoid bending over or lying face down. Sleep with your head elevated on a soft pillow to help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Only take the painkillers and antibiotics prescribed by the clinic.
- Alcohol and smoking must be avoided for at least 4 weeks after surgery. Alcohol can trigger inflammation, and smoking constricts blood vessels, which can lead to skin damage, necrosis, or delayed wound healing at the surgical site.
- If you have an under-eye patch, remove it five days after surgery.
- Shake the prescribed eye drops (Tarivid) before use to prevent conjunctival swelling. Apply four times a day for up to two weeks — in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and before bed.
