The key is a natural, vibrant, and youthful look
"Simply removing under-eye fat is not the answer. The key is creating a natural under-eye area through fat repositioning and orbital septum strengthening."
— Dr. Choi Dong-il, Chief Surgeon
Brightening and smoothing dark, dull under-eyes — the method to create youthful eyes.
This method corrects bulging or sagging under-eyes caused by fat, creating bright and youthful eyes. The fat located under the eyes is repositionedto not only smooth out bulging and sunken areas, but also resolve dark circlessimultaneously, completing a youthful, clean eye shape and a bright, radiant impression.

A common concern during under-eye surgery is post-operative loss of love bandresulting in flat under-eyes, and excessive fat removal causing decreased elasticity. Gangnam Seoyeon accurately diagnoses the patient's eye condition before surgery to preserve the love bandwhile creating three-dimensional under-eyes, and to prevent recurrence through orbital septum strengtheningto maintain smooth and bright eyes for a long time.
If previous results were unsatisfactory, we accurately diagnose the cause and provide a personalized solution.
Minimizes scarring and prevents recurrence through orbital septum strengthening for long-lasting results.
The surgical method must vary depending on the type of under-eye fat. Two approaches tailored to the patient's condition.
Inner conjunctival approach with no visible external scarring
By operating on the under-eye fat through the inner conjunctiva, scars are not visible on the outside. However, the surgical method must vary depending on the type of under-eye fat to achieve accurate results.
Surgery is performed on the under-eye fat through the inner conjunctiva, leaving no visible external scars.
