APEX Transconjunctival Fat Repositioning Repositioning excessively bulging under-eye fat creates a clean, refined and youthful-looking face. Clean, bright under-eyes with no shadows! Bulging under-eye fat and deeply hollowed tear troughs cause dark circles, giving a dark, tired and aged impression. APEX's transconjunctival fat repositioning moves excessively protruding fat through the conjunctiva into the hollow areas, repositioning or removing it to resolve bulging under-eyes while helping improve hollowness and shadowing at the same time. Because it is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eye, no scar shows on the outside, which eases concerns, and the eyes and overall impression become brighter and livelier. Smooth under-eyes without bulges for bright, radiant eyes! For under-eyes that look radiant and smooth, with no bulging! APEX's transconjunctival fat repositioning repositions bulging under-eye fat and then secures the fat and reinforces the septum to prevent recurrence, so the improvement lasts. Performed through the conjunctiva inside the eye, it also eases concerns about visible scarring.

Prologue

Bulging under-eye fat and a deeply hollowed groove beneath the eyes cause dark circles, giving a dark, tired, older impression. APEX transconjunctival fat repositioning works through the conjunctiva to move excess protruding fat into the hollow area or to remove it, resolving the bulge under the eyes while helping to improve the hollowing and shadowing at the same time. Because the surgery is performed through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid, no scar shows on the outside, which eases the burden, and the eyes and overall impression can become brighter and livelier.

Cause

Why under-eye fat protrudes

Learn what causes the fat under the eyes to bulge.

Under-eye fat originally serves to cushion the eyeball,
It is the fat around the eyeball. The reason under-eye fat protrudes severely is

  • First,

    When the bone is congenitally depressed, there is no bony support under the fat, so
    This is when the fat protrudes downward.

  • Second,

    With age the fat pockets weaken, letting fat slip forward and bulge
    This is the case at onset. When under-eye fat protrudes severely,
    Skin sagging and fine lines may occur along with it.

Symptom

  • Eye illustration in the 20s — slight fullness under the eye
  • Eye illustration, 30s — orbital fat protrudes further and a tear trough begins to form
  • Illustration of eyes in the 40s — sagging orbital fat and a pronounced tear trough
  • Illustration of eyes in the 50s - the tear trough skin is darkened and the under-eye area sags the most
  • 20s

    Puffy under-eyes

  • 30s

    Tear troughs look hollow

  • 40s

    Orbital fat sags and
    Tear trough becomes pronounced

  • 50s

    The skin over the tear trough becomes discolored
    Looks severely tired
