The key is a natural, vibrant, and youthful look
"Simply removing under-eye fat is not the answer. The key is creating a natural under-eye area through fat repositioning and orbital septum strengthening."
— Dr. Choi Dong-il, Chief Surgeon

4 cases suitable for Gangnam Seoyon's incisional under-eye surgery.
Under-eye fat
that is bulging
Impression from dark circles
looking dark and tired
Sunken under-eyes
with shadows
Fine under-eye wrinkles
causing an aged appearance
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 Seoyon 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.

4 changes created by Gangnam Seoyon's under-eye surgery.
We explain key points to know before surgery through a video.
Ask anything about Under Eye Surgery.
Simple removal has a high possibility of hollowing out again or losing elasticity over time. Gangnam Seoyon believes that repositioning an appropriate amount of fat to create a three-dimensional under-eye is more natural and long-lasting.
Gangnam Seoyon completes a three-dimensional under-eye while preserving the aegyo-sal. We accurately identify the boundary between the aegyo-sal and fat through precise diagnosis.
If there is almost no skin sagging and only fat needs to be arranged, the transconjunctival method is suitable. If there is skin sagging that needs to be addressed together, the skin incision (middle-aged lower blepharoplasty) method is appropriate.
If protruding under-eye fat creates a shadow that looks like dark circles, fat repositioning alone will greatly improve it. Pigmented dark circles may require separate care.
Gangnam Seoyon minimizes the possibility of recurrence by performing orbital septum reinforcement together. However, natural changes due to aging may occur over time.
