Choi Eun-kyung, 53, Shows a Dramatically Different Face After Under-Eye Fat Repositioning... "I Don't Hear People Saying I Look Tired Anymore"
TV personality Choi Eun-kyung (53) revealed her transformed face following a lower eyelid fat repositioning procedure and expressed her satisfaction with the results.
On the 5th, a video titled "Real Review of Lower Eyelid Fat Repositioning! How Satisfied Am I?" was posted on her YouTube channel, "Choi Eun-kyung's Management Office."
In the video, Choi Eun-kyung confessed, “Even before, my under-eye area would get dark and sunken when I was tired. But it would go away if I ate well and rested,” adding, “When I was tired, I found it impossible to cover it up with makeup.” She revealed the dark circles under her eyes and explained, “After struggling for four months, the area under my eyes started to sink in, making the dark circles even more noticeable,” which led her to decide to consult a plastic surgeon.
After visiting the clinic for a consultation, Choi Eun-kyung shared her concerns: “I really hate how my under-eye area sinks in when I smile. Because the area under my eyes is sunken, it looks dark, and combined with my age spots, it’s a real mess,” she shared her concerns. In response, the attending specialist explained, “Laser-assisted lower eyelid fat repositioning can neatly resolve this,” and provided a detailed explanation of the procedure.
After the consultation, Choi Eun-kyung reviewed before-and-after photos and ultimately decided to proceed with the surgery.
On the first day after the procedure, Choi Eun-kyung revealed her slightly swollen face and explained, “Because my eyes were numbed, I saw double and the ceiling looked slanted—it was really tough,” adding, “It returned to normal as time passed.”
The recovery process wasn’t entirely smooth. On the sixth day after the procedure, Choi Eun-kyung visited a filming set and confessed, “It still doesn’t feel like my own eyes; it’s awkward. The swelling had spread down to my jaw, and it didn’t look like my face. It was so awkward that I wondered why I even did it.”
However, as time passed, Choi Eun-kyung revealed a much more natural appearance about three weeks after the procedure and expressed her satisfaction. She said, “The best part is that I definitely hear fewer comments about looking tired,” adding, “Since the dark hollows under my eyes are gone, my eyes look much clearer.” She continued, “I’m also satisfied that I didn’t get a single bruise,” adding, “It definitely looks better now.”
However, she emphasized that she does not unconditionally recommend plastic surgery. Choi Eun-kyung stated, “This is merely a personal choice; I’m not encouraging plastic surgery,” and noted, “Everyone’s situation is different.”
