A common concern during under-eye surgery is post-operative loss of love bandresulting in flat under-eyes, and excessive fat removal causing decreased elasticity. Gangnam Seoyeon accurately diagnoses the patient's eye condition before surgery to preserve the love bandwhile creating three-dimensional under-eyes, and to prevent recurrence through orbital septum strengtheningto maintain smooth and bright eyes for a long time.
If previous results were unsatisfactory, we accurately diagnose the cause and provide a personalized solution.
Minimizes scarring and prevents recurrence through orbital septum strengthening for long-lasting results.
The surgical method must vary depending on the type of under-eye fat. Two approaches tailored to the patient's condition.
Inner conjunctival approach with no visible external scarring
By operating on the under-eye fat through the inner conjunctiva, scars are not visible on the outside. However, the surgical method must vary depending on the type of under-eye fat to achieve accurate results.
Surgery is performed on the under-eye fat through the inner conjunctiva, leaving no visible external scars.
