What Is Under-Eye Fat (Fat Pads) Treatment?

Under-Eye Fat Treatment is a targeted procedure designed to reduce or reposition bulging fat pads beneath the eyes. These protruding fat pads can create puffiness, shadows, and an aged or tired appearance. Treatment options vary from nonsurgical contouring to surgical correction, depending on the severity and skin condition.

What Are the Benefits?

✔ Reduced Puffiness – Minimizes bulging fat pads for a smoother under-eye contour
✔ Improved Shadowing – Decreases the appearance of dark shadows caused by protruding fat
✔ More Youthful Look – Restores balance between the lower eyelid and cheek
✔ Smoother Skin Texture – Enhances firmness and reduces tired under-eye appearance
✔ Customizable Approach – Surgical and nonsurgical options available for different needs
