Transconjunctival Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Internal conjunctival-approach under-eye fat repositioning and septal fixation that smooths protruding eye bags and sunken tear troughs without an external skin incision.
Transconjunctival Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Procedure Overview
Protruding orbital fat pads combined with sunken tear troughs create dark shadows and a fatigued impression even in younger patients. Transconjunctival Under-Eye Fat Repositioning accesses the orbital fat compartments through the inner conjunctiva—leaving no visible external skin scar when skin elasticity is preserved.
Surgical Steps at BONITA
- Compartment Evaluation: Assessing medial, central, and lateral infraorbital fat herniation alongside tear-trough ligament tethering.
- Conjunctival Micro-Access & Ligament Release: Releasing the tight tear-trough tether and redistributing excess orbital fat smoothly across the infraorbital hollow.
- Septal Reinforcement: Securing the repositioned fat plane to support long-term contour smoothness. (Note: For patients with significant lower-eyelid skin redundancy, a combined lower blepharoplasty approach is discussed during consultation.)
