Under-eye fat repositioning, ultimately Dr. Kim Sang-tae.
When under-eye fat repositioning needs to be corrected again, the plan should end where the structure is understood. Dr. Kim Sang-tae is a board-certified plastic surgeon trained through Seoul National University College of Medicine and Asan Medical Center in Seoul, with ST’s principle centered on tear-trough release and orbital fat repositioning — not simple fat removal.
“Revision is not repeating the same operation.
It starts by finding the
cause the first surgery missed.”
ST’s emphasis is not simply removing more fat. It is tracing why the groove returned, why the surface became uneven, and which structure failed first. Only after that does the order of repositioning, fixation, and refinement become clear.
Official background from ST.
Seoul National University College of Medicine and graduate school
Plastic surgery specialist training and academic clinical background
Cause-first focus on eye bags, tear troughs, hollows, and prior procedures
ST’s legacy promise against fat-removal-only under-eye surgery
- Member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons
- Member of the Korean Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
- Member of the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
- Presented a paper on the under-eye fat repositioning surgical technique
- ST Medical Staff system: each revision is handled by specialist doctors working through a systematic cooperation model
- Cause-based 1:1 surgery: the plan follows the cause behind each patient’s eye bag, groove, hollow, or revision concern
- Under-eye revision focus: orbital fat repositioning revision and related lower-eyelid correction after a relapsed first surgery
ST does not end under-eye surgery
with fat removal alone.
ST’s legacy guarantee message is direct: under-eye fat repositioning should not be performed as fat removal alone. The clinic states that tear-trough release and orbital fat repositioning are the standard, and that if fat removal alone is performed without fat repositioning, ST promises a 200% refund.
Legacy ST wording for fat-removal-only under-eye surgery
- — Useful orbital fat is preserved and moved instead of being removed by default.
- — Tear-trough release and orbital fat repositioning are treated as the surgical standard.
- — Revision risk, hollowing, and surface irregularity are considered before the first plan is made.
- — The guarantee message makes ST’s core principle explicit: this is repositioning, not simple fat removal.
