Is Love Band Surgery Performed in the US (Popular in South Korea)? (photo)

April 9, 2013
Asked By:Juliabars in Seattle, WA

I have lost the fat padding directly underneath my eyes, which I would like back. In Korea, they call these fat pads "love bands" and promote surgery to enhance that area via fat transfer in order to make the eyes appear bigger. Do they offer "love band surgery" in the US as well (not just fat grafting for hollows)? Attached below are pictures of examples of love bands. Thanks so much.
