Fat repositioning, also known as orbital fat transposition, is an advanced lower eyelid procedure designed to treat both under-eye bags and hollow tear troughs—using your body’s own natural fat. Instead of removing fat (which may create a sunken look), this technique repositions existing fat to restore a smooth, youthful contour.
💡 What Is Fat Repositioning?
With aging, fat under the eyes may bulge forward, creating eye bags, while the area below appears hollow. Fat repositioning addresses both concerns by:
- Preserving the orbital fat
- Gently redistributing it into the tear trough area
- Creating a seamless transition between the lower eyelid and cheek
This results in a natural, refreshed appearance without the need for synthetic fillers.
🔬 How the Procedure Is Performed
1. Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case.
2. Hidden Incision
A small incision is made inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), leaving no visible external scar.
3. Fat Preservation & Release
The surgeon carefully releases the orbital fat pads and supporting structures to allow proper repositioning.
4. Fat Transposition
The fat is gently moved downward into the hollow tear trough area to restore volume naturally.
5. Contouring & Fixation
The fat is shaped and secured to ensure:
- Smooth contour
- Balanced appearance
- Natural-looking results
💎 Benefits of Fat Repositioning
