What is the difference between fat removal and fat repositioning

Traditional fat removal reduces the bulging under-eye fat, but if too much is removed, it may contribute to a hollow appearance over time — especially as the mid-face loses volume with age. Fat repositioning preserves and redistributes part of the protruding fat into the tear trough, addressing both puffiness and hollowness in a single procedure. In some cases, partial removal combined with repositioning may be the best approach. Your surgeon will determine the right balance based on your anatomy.
