Case Presentation of Transconjunctival Fat Removal

 

In cases like this monitor's, where only the orbital fat bulges without noticeable orbital hollows, fat grafting is often unnecessary.

We often get asked, "Is fat grafting necessary?" While it may be needed in some cases, it really depends on the individual's original condition.

If you have concerns, it is possible to remove only the fat first and perform fat grafting later. Rest assured that the results will be the same whether done simultaneously or separately.

 

 

 

This patient underwent transconjunctival fat removal without combining it with fat grafting.

One month after surgery, the unevenness has become less noticeable, resulting in a vibrant, lively look around the eyes.

 

The tear troughs, previously hidden beneath layers of fat, now appear plump and defined.

Since the approach is made from the underside of the lower eyelid, the scar will not be visible from the outside.

 

 

By removing excess orbital fat from the underside of the lower eyelid, the area under the eyes became noticeably more defined.

For those experiencing significant skin laxity, we recommend "skin tightening procedures." For individuals where fat removal alone might cause hollowed areas, we suggest "combining fat grafting." At Bianca Clinic, we tailor treatment plans to each patient's specific needs.

By removing the appropriate amount of orbital fat—the cause of under-eye puffiness—we achieve a refreshed, defined eye area, as you can see.

Case Presentation of Transconjunctival Fat Removal Combined with Other Procedures

 

This patient underwent a combined procedure of transconjunctival fat removal and fat grafting.

By removing an appropriate amount of orbital fat and injecting Condenrich fat harvested from the thighs, we smoothed the hollows around the eyes and along the nasolabial folds.

Your skin looks firmer and much more youthful now.

 

 

This monitor had previously received hyaluronic acid injections in their tear troughs.

Before the procedure, the hyaluronic acid caused puffiness under the eyes, making them appear swollen. The protruding orbital fat further accentuated the swelling.

First, hyaluronidase was used to break down the hyaluronic acid. Then, the appropriate amount of orbital fat that appeared under the eyes was removed. As you can see, the result is refreshed-looking eyes!

Many people who have had hyaluronic acid injections for years become so accustomed to their appearance that they fail to notice the unnaturalness, but when compared side-by-side like this, the difference is stark.
