What is Under-Eye Fat Repositioning?
The reason the under-eye area appears puffy or hollow is that the fat is
not properly positioned and is unevenly distributed.
At Retmus, under-eye fat repositioning is not simply about removing fat.
Instead, fat is carefully repositioned to reduce puffiness and fill hollow areas.
This unique Retmus technique helps improve dark circles and
a tired-looking appearance, creating a youthful and natural under-eye look.

Retmus Under-Eye Fat Repositioning Procedure
Retmus under-eye fat repositioning involves relocating protruding under-eye fat, reinforcing the orbital septum, and brightening the overall under-eye appearance.
- Method 01
- Specialist Consultation
A detailed evaluation is conducted to precisely identify puffy and hollow areas.
- Method 02
- Conjunctival Incision
A minimal incision is made through the inner eyelid(conjunctiva) to avoid visible scarring.
- Method 03
- Fat Redistribution and Repositioning
Unnecessary fat is partially removed, and the remaining fat is evenly redistributed and repositioned into hollow areas.
- Method 04
- Orbital Septum Reinforcement and Restoration
Repositioned fat is secured, and the stretched orbital septum is reinforced to restore support.
- Method 05
- Achieving Bright Under-Eyes
This method minimizes the chance of recurrence, creating a bright and refreshed under-eye appearance.
Lower Blepharoplasty vs Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Is under-eye fat repositioning enough on its own, or is lower blepharoplasty necessary?
At Retmus, we clearly explain the differences between these two procedures to help you make an informed choice.
| Under-Eye Fat Repositioning | Lower Blepharoplasty |
|---|---|
|
|
| Smooth, Scar-Free Results | Improve Puffy and Wrinkled Under-Eyes |
| This procedure is suitable when the under-eye skin is not sagging but the fat pads are protruding. By making an incision through the inner eyelid(conjunctiva), the fat is evenly repositioned without leaving a visible scar. The orbital septum is reinforced to smooth the skin, while preserving the aegyosal(orbicularis oculi) for a natural, three-dimensional under-eye contour. | This procedure is ideal when both sagging under-eye skin and protruding fat are present. Excess skin is removed and muscles are lifted and secured. The under-eye fat is repositioned, and the hollow tear trough is filled. The aegyosal(orbicularis oculi) is preserved to create a natural, youthful, and three-dimensional under-eye appearance. |
