01 — Overview

Fat Repositioning

Fat repositioning moves protruding under-eye bag fat down into the hollow tear-trough — smoothing the transition for a rested, natural under-eye in one step.

Instead of simply removing eye-bag fat, repositioning relocates it to fill the hollow below, correcting both the bulge and the shadowed tear-trough together. Usually done through the inner lid with no external scar, it gives a smooth, natural under-eye and avoids the hollowed look that removal alone can cause.

02 — Approaches

Approaches we offer

The right approach depends on your structure and goals. At consultation, the surgeon determines which fits your case.

  • Transconjunctival Approach — Done through the inner lid — no external scar.
  • Fat Relocation — Bag fat is moved into the tear-trough to fill the hollow.
  • With Skin Tightening — Added for patients with loose lower-lid skin.
  • With Fat Grafting — Extra volume where the hollow is deep.

07 — FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from removing the fat?
Repositioning relocates the fat to fill the hollow below, correcting the bag and the tear-trough together — and avoiding the hollowed look removal alone can cause.
Is there a scar?
Usually done through the inner lid, leaving no external scar.
Who is it best for?
Patients with under-eye bags plus a hollow or shadowed tear-trough beneath.
How long is recovery?
Plan about a week; swelling and bruising settle over 1–3 weeks.
