I was worried because no one around me had done it, but after thinking about it for a really long time, I finally went through with it. Since I was young, the fat under my eyes protruded noticeably, so I was always told that I looked like I had dark circles and looked tired. As I got older, it felt like it was getting worse, so I thought this couldn’t be fixed with skincare or maintenance alone.
There weren’t many reviews of under-eye fat repositioning for men, so it wasn’t easy to find information, but after looking into various options, I had a consultation with Director Hwang In-seok at ID Hospital. During the consultation, he looked at the condition under my eyes and explained that rather than removing the fat, repositioning it would give a more natural result. He said he would plan it so the area would be smoothed out without a hollowed look, and after hearing that explanation, I understood right away haha
I did already have a double eyelid line, but it was vague, so I had it defined with an incision at the same time. That was more of a secondary procedure, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it; the main thing was definitely under-eye fat repositioning.
The surgery was done under sedation, and in the early recovery period there was some bruising and swelling. Since I’m a guy, I couldn’t cover it with makeup, so I just stayed home and got through it lololol As the days passed, it definitely started to go down, and now I can really feel that the area under my eyes has been cleaned up nicely. Once the look of dark circles disappeared, people stopped saying I looked tired, and when I first heard that my eyes looked youthful, I felt pretty proud lolololol
