After lower-under-eye fat repositioning, my aegyo-sal became uneven. + My abdomen became lumpy after liposuction

First, the reason I decided to write this is that recently, on Instagram and plastic surgery apps, post-op reviews about lower-under-eye fat repositioning tend to be shown mainly as promotional posts saying it went well, so I felt that it is relatively hard to come across enough information about side effects or discomfort. I hope this review can serve as a reference for people who do not necessarily need this surgery to make a more careful decision, and I am writing it in the hope that it will reduce even a little the number of people who go through regrets similar to mine. This is not intended to slander a specific hospital or spread false information, and I am sharing only my own personal experience and subjective feelings. I did not have protruding under-eye fat; recently I started to feel that the area under my eyes looked sunken, so I first got filler treatment. However, I did not feel much improvement, possibly because it was not injected into the exact correct place, and after that I looked into lower-under-eye fat repositioning surgery. The hospital I visited for a consultation was located roughly between Sinsa Station and Apgujeong Station, so it was a bit of a walk by public transportation, and there were almost no people waiting when I visited. The reason I chose that hospital was that I had watched the surgeon's explanation of the procedure on YouTube, and I thought he had relatively long experience. At that hospital, they said lower-under-eye fat repositioning fixes the under-eye wrinkle band in 5 places so it will not recur, and that by transplanting a thin layer of microfat it would also improve dark circles, like applying concealer. In my case, the under-eye fat was not protruding; the area under my eyes was slightly sunken, so they said fat grafting would be needed, and the fat would be taken from the abdomen and transplanted, with the option to decide on a second graft six months later. However, I have very little body fat in my abdomen, so I was worried that liposuction might leave it lumpy afterward, but the doctor said he had enough experience and showed confidence in his hand technique, which made me trust him. Also, the manager who handled the consultation said she had worked at that hospital for about 8 years, and she was kind during the consultation; the doctor also gave off a confident impression. I concluded that if there were many complications, it would not be easy for the manager to keep working there that long, so I decided to have the surgery. To start with the result, one side's aegyo-sal almost disappeared, so the aegyo-sal became uneven. Smiling broadly became uncomfortable and strange. Also, the abdomen where the fat was harvested became completely lumpy, which I had been worried about. A pencil-lead-like? unusual scar appeared near the navel. And the most disappointing thing is how the hospital responded afterward. My eyes were not perfectly symmetrical, of course, but both sides did have clearly visible aegyo-sal. When my face was expressionless, it did not stand out much, but even the slightest expression made the aegyo-sal lift clearly. In photos 1 and 2, if you look at the left eye (actual right eye), you can estimate the size of the existing aegyo-sal based on the spot of pigmentation. You can see that when the pigmented area folds, it gets covered. In other words, up to that pigmented point was the aegyo-sal, but now it is like the former aegyo-sal area has deflated, as if the air went out of a balloon? The original aegyo-sal area on one side has sunken and disappeared. Only on one side... The other side is fine. From my own sense, I think the fat may have been redistributed all the way into the former aegyo-sal area, removing the fat from the aegyo-sal region. When I touch both eyes, the normal eye's aegyo area feels a bit plump, whereas the eye where the aegyo-sal disappeared has a slightly sunken under-eye and feels flat to the touch, as if the fat that was there was removed. The feeling that my under-eye area was sunken before has indeed improved. But the discomfort has increased far more. If you are a woman, you probably know very well how much aegyo-sal affects the face. One side's aegyo-sal has almost disappeared, so my face looks uneven and very unattractive. My expression also became very unnatural when I smile. My eyes do not seem to smile well, and when I smile, the cheekbone area is pulled, so it does not move well, making my overall expression awkward and strange. Also, when I try to smile broadly, it does not work well and my eyes turn over a little, almost like a three-white-eye look? That is a functional side effect. I personally suspect this is not because the surgery was done badly, but because during the lower-under-eye fat repositioning procedure, the muscles had to be cut and reattached, so this may be the influence of that, but I do not know the exact cause. It is improving, but even now, about 5 months after surgery, the symptom remains. Also, the abdomen where the fat was taken from looks visibly lumpy. I have worked as a model, so I often had to show my body and always felt confident about my abdominal line... Because of this, I can only wear clothes that cover me, and looking in a full-length mirror has become difficult. And there is a pencil-lead-like green scar left beside my navel... I have never seen scars like this from people who had liposuction before, so does anyone know about scars like this? I informed the hospital about my condition starting one month after the surgery, and when they told me to wait longer, I went back around the second month for a follow-up. I met with the manager for consultation, and the manager said that when fat is repositioned, the under-eye area becomes flat by default. She said that the part I am calling aegyo-sal is actually just the protruding under-eye groove that I am mistaking for aegyo-sal;; so if that disappeared, it means the under-eye fat repositioning went well. But my type was sunken under the eyes, not the kind with a protruding groove at all, so I asked what she meant, and if that was the case, didn't that mean the other eye had not had the procedure done? Because that side still has aegyo-sal clearly present. Then she said it was because my eyes had always been uneven. Even in the photos taken at the hospital, the changed appearance of the aegyo-sal was clearly visible compared with before, but they insisted that it was the same as before and that my eyes had always been uneven. I was truly stunned. The manager and I kept arguing back and forth over whether that was true or not, and since no conclusion came of it, I had a consultation with the doctor. As soon as the doctor came in, without ever looking closely at my eyes even once, he said, as if lecturing and scolding me, that aegyo-sal is made of the tarsal plate and muscle, and that it could not disappear. When I said I had come to talk about how to improve the actual changes rather than that kind of logic, he said there was nothing he could do because he had performed the surgery perfectly, and told me to leave or he would call the police. He also said my abdomen was fine and asked why I was making an issue of it, and told me to go before he called the police. Since there was no longer any communication, I went home like that, and in case I would end up writing a rash review, I waited longer and am now writing this review at the current point, 5 months after the surgery. I have recorded everything that was said at the hospital. The hospital says that my eyes have always been like this and are the same as before the surgery, and that my abdomen has no problem at all, but do you all really think that is true..? I am also confused about how they will handle the second graft given that attitude. I am not looking for a refund or anything like that; I just wanted the hospital to seriously think together with me about how to improve one side's aegyo-sal at the second procedure and how to improve my abdomen... It is frustrating. If you try to frown hard, it still seems like the little smile pouch? is there, but maybe because the fat is gone, or because the muscle there was disturbed..? Have any of you experienced something like this..? If so, has anyone solved the abdominal issue too? T_T I would really appreciate your help and advice on how you improved and resolved it. And for those planning to get lower-under-eye fat repositioning, I hope you do not view it as too simple a surgery, and I hope you consider these side effects again and make a good choice.
