About
CLYVE Under-Eye Fat Repositioning
Delicate Design, Precise Transformation
Excessive fat accumulation under the eyes, resulting in protruding eyes, can make one look older and create a tired impression.
Under-eye surgery is a procedure that evenly repositions thick, bulging, or sagging under-eye fat
to improve uneven and dark under-eyes, making them smooth and bright.
It is recommended for those with sagging under-eye fat due to aging, or severe dark circles and pigmentation.
Cause
Causes of Under-Eye Fat
There are three fat pockets under the eyeball. As the elasticity of the fat-encasing pockets, muscles, and skin decreases, the area under the eyes protrudes, leading to under-eye fat.
When under-eye fat protrudes, it creates shadows and wrinkles under the eyes, giving a tired and aged impression.
It does not occur in everyone, and the causes of under-eye fat can largely be divided into aging and congenital factors.
Under-Eye Fat Due to Aging
- If the skin around the eyes is very thin or lacks elasticity
- Cases of Sagging Cheeks
Under-Eye Fat Due to Congenital Causes
- When there is congenitally a large amount of under-eye fat
- In cases of genetically weak cheekbone development
- In cases of protruding eyeballs

Process
Formation Process of Under-Eye Fat
It progresses from a normal state to early protrusion and then to an advanced stage.
STEP 01
Normal Under-Eye Fat
Under-eye fat is well-positioned within the orbit, with no protruding fat.
Skin, muscles, and fat maintain good elasticity to support and project under-eye fat.
STEP 02
Initial State of Under-Eye Fat Protrusion
As the elasticity of surrounding tissues decreases, under-eye fat begins to protrude.
Surrounding tissues that have lost elasticity can no longer support the under-eye fat and begin to sag downwards.
STEP 03
Advanced stage of under-eye fat protrusion
Under-eye fat continuously protrudes, leading to accompanying skin sagging.
As surrounding tissues sag, hollow tear troughs appear below the protruding under-eye fat.
Anatomy
Under-eye fat and Aegyo-sal
Under-eye fat and Aegyosal exist as anatomically different structures, locations, and shapes.
Aegyo-sal (under-eye fat rolls) are formed by the plump muscles surrounding the eyes, making the face appear bright and clear. When under-eye fat develops, aegyo-sal can become buried in the under-eye fat and disappear, or fold doubly, appearing like wrinkles. CLYVE performs surgery while preserving the original aegyo-sal without removing it.

CLYVE Septal Reinforcement to reduce recurrence rates
Using a special needle for under-eye surgery, four fixation points are created inside the skin.
Each fixation point is connected by a single line to evenly distribute stable tension,
firmly supporting the orbital septum to withstand external stimuli.
While maintaining strong fixation, the force is not concentrated in one place,
but is evenly distributed and supported across multiple fixation points.
This reduces the possibility of recurrence and enhances the longevity of the effect.

After Care
Post-Surgery Premium Aftercare
Recovery is managed with the same care as the surgery. This is CLYVE's post-operative recovery program.
Care 01
Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyHyperbaric Chamber
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a program that helps supply oxygen to tissues, enabling more systematic management of the recovery process. It is provided for a more comfortable recovery after surgery.
Care 02
HealiteSmart LUX
Utilizing specific wavelengths of energy, it aids cell activation and tissue recovery, as well as alleviating post-surgical swelling and bruising, and can help with skin regeneration and scar management.
Care 03
Scar InjectionScar Injection
If the scar at the incision site becomes firm or red after surgery, scar injections can help alleviate excessive scar tissue proliferation, promoting a smoother and more stable recovery.
Care 04
Scar Management LaserFractional CO2
After surgery, laser care is performed on the incision area to aid skin regeneration and tissue recovery, supporting stable healing.
The post-operative care program may vary depending on the scope of surgery and recovery progress, and detailed information will be provided during consultation.
Why Clyve
Why CLYVE under-eye fat repositioning is special
Natural improvement focused on repositioning, not removal
Rather than unnecessarily removing a lot of fat, we evenly reposition necessary fat to improve both hollowness and protrusion. We create a smoother, more natural under-eye line without a bumpy or artificial appearance.
Balanced under-eye design, considering even the tear trough
We don't just remove under-eye fat; we also consider the tear trough and shadows extending below the fat. By enhancing the overall connection under the eyes, we gently improve tired or aged appearances.
Restoring Aegyo-sal for Youthful Eyes
We tidy under-eye fat while maximally preserving and restoring the function of muscles and tissues that form aegyo-sal, preventing an overly flat under-eye area. We enhance natural volume and dimensionality to create more vibrant, youthful-looking eyes.
Sturdy quadruple fixation preventing recurrence
We firmly connect the under-eye fat and orbital septum with 4 fixation points to evenly distribute tension. By providing stable support to prevent force from concentrating in one area, we reduce the possibility of re-sagging and recurrence, aiming for long-lasting results.
