Crushing Dark Circles with Under-Eye Fat Repositioning!
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a brighter, refreshed look through under-eye fat repositioning and PRP injections.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Under-eye fat: Moderate to severe bulging
# Skin condition: Minimal sagging, but reddish discoloration present
# Primary complaint: ‘People keep asking if I’m tired even when I’m not.’
* Consultation
# While this condition is commonly referred to as ‘dark circles,’ the accurate medical term is ‘tear trough deformity.’
# Since there is no significant skin sagging, skin excision is not required.
# The plan is to approach through the conjunctiva (the red tissue inside the eyelid) to avoid visible scarring, reposition the protruding fat, and use PRP injections to regenerate the dermis and improve skin tone.

Before/After Selfies
* Post-operative Progress
# Not only has the bulging fat been resolved, but the skin tone also looks much brighter, doesn’t it? The results are very satisfying :)
# Key Points
1. The skin under the eyes is very thin, making blood vessels and pigments easily visible, which often creates a dull appearance.
2. Under-eye fat repositioning requires no suture removal, and since bruising and swelling are minimal, recovery is fast. With just 2–3 days of downtime, it doesn’t interfere much with daily life, so there’s no need to hesitate.
3. PRP is a procedure where plasma components with the highest concentration of growth factors are extracted from your own blood and injected. It is highly sought after for its proven effectiveness in regenerating the dermis, clearing skin tone, and refining skin texture!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
