Choi Jun-hee, daughter of the late actress Choi Jin-sil, confessed that she has undergone a new procedure.
Recently, Choi Jun-hee posted a photo on her social media with the caption, "When should I upload the video of my under-eye fat & eyelid tuning to YouTube? The video is ready." In the photo, Choi Jun-hee showcases her distinct facial features.
Choi Jun-hee stated, "Since it has happened, please refrain from leaving negative comments," and added, "Women need to manage themselves for a lifetime." Previously, she drew attention by sharing her experiences and reviews of surgeries such as eye and nose operations and facial contouring. What exactly is the under-eye fat repositioning she received this time?
What Causes Under-Eye Fat?
The under-eye fat repositioning that Choi Jun-hee underwent is a method that redistributes the fat under the eyes without removing it, making it flat. The reason why under-eye fat becomes uneven is largely due to aging. There are three fat pads surrounding the eyeball in the upper and lower eyelids.
These fat pads are supported by a thin membrane, but as aging progresses, the membrane loosens. When gravity pulls the fat down, the fat that was inside the eye pushes out the lower eyelid, causing it to bulge. The skin around the eyes loses elasticity, making it easier for wrinkles to form and can appear dark like dark circles.
The Average Effect of Under-Eye Fat Repositioning is 10 Years
To alleviate under-eye fat, one can improve their lifestyle while also seeking the help of procedures. Dark circles can also be reduced, improving the tired appearance. The recovery time to return to daily life after surgery is relatively quick. Although bruising or swelling may occur post-surgery, scarring is minimal. The fat repositioning takes about an hour.
Among similar procedures, there is also a method to remove under-eye fat. The fat removal procedure involves opening the fat pocket and eliminating the bulging fat using lasers, etc. It takes about 1 to 2 hours. However, even if it seems like a simple procedure, side effects such as bleeding or inflammation can occur post-surgery, so one should choose carefully after sufficient consideration.
Even if one undergoes under-eye fat correction surgery, the average effect is known to last about 10 years. Since aging continues, the under-eye area may bulge again over time. It is important to avoid rubbing the eye area with hands and to apply sunscreen throughout the year. Establishing a regular and sufficient sleep habit is also advisable.
