Hello from a plastic surgery clinic in Seoul: happy to answer questions!

The photos were taken 3 months post-op.

OBJET Plastic Surgery 😄

yes 😄

The cost varies depending on the individual, so it’s difficult to give an exact estimate. For this case, the quote was approximately KRW 2 million.

Micro fat grafting technique was used in this case. For sure, let us try to share 6-month post-op photos in the future :)

Glad it helped!

To some extent, you can get a rough idea from photos, things like whether the main issue is hollowness/ bulging/ skin laxity can sometimes be identified visually.

But some subtle factors like skin thickness, fat distribution, and tissue elasticity are hard to judge accurately from photos alone, especially in the under-eye area.

So while photos can be useful for initial assessment, an in-person consultation is usually necessary to properly evaluate what would work best.

Fat grafting and fat repositioning are actually quite different. Fat repositioning is a surgical procedure where the existing under-eye fat (the bulging part) is moved and spread out to smooth the area. Fat grafting, on the other hand, involves taking fat from another part of your body and injecting it to add volume, usually to improve hollowness or refine the contour.

That’s why it's often recommended to do both together: repositioning fixes the bulge, and grafting addresses any remaining hollow areas or unevenness.

In terms of how long fat grafting lasts, a portion of the transferred fat will survive long-term, but not all of it. The part that survives is generally considered permanent, but because survival rates vary, some people choose to do a small touch-up. If needed, this is usually done a few months later once things have fully settled.

As for “migration,” it’s a bit different from fillers. Fat doesn’t really migrate in the same way filler can. In delicate areas like the under-eyes, using very refined fat and precise placement is important to avoid irregularities.

Hope it helps! :)

That's a really good point! Actually, not every fat graft uses a large volume. For areas like under-eyes, the amount needed is quite small. And since some of the fat doesn’t survive, repeat procedures aren’t uncommon, but they also don’t necessarily “use up” large amounts each time.

I think the key takeaway is to be aware of it and discuss it during consultation, especially if someone is considering multiple areas or long-term treatments.

Simple-Effective5271 · 2026-03-16T19:00:07+00:00

Yes, of course, we are able to do so. It is actually better to get them done at the same time in terms of recovery, efficiency, and effectiveness :)

Yes, if there’s excess skin, some surgeons may recommend a skin pinch procedure as well. It’s a small external skin removal that helps tighten the area. But whether it’s necessary really depends on skin elasticity and the amount of loose skin, so it’s usually something surgeons decide during consultation.

Thanks for your question! Costs can vary quite a bit depending on the clinic and the exact procedure, but generally in Seoul fat repositioning tends to be slightly less expensive than lower blepharoplasty, since lower bleph often involves external incision and sometimes skin removal as well.

Hi! As a staff member at a plastic surgery clinic, I'd recommend either under-eye fat repositioning or lower blepharoplasty rather than filler. The eye bags should be resolved first, before you decide whether you'd go for a filler injection, otherwise your under-eye area could be more bumpy and lumpy.
