Nano Smooth™ Fat to the Under Eyes
Delicate under-eye skin is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, fatigue, and volume loss. At his Philadelphia practice, board-certified Plastic Surgeon Louis P. Bucky, MD, FACS, offers his proprietary Nano Smooth™ Micronized Fat Grafting technique specifically refined for the under-eye area. This advanced approach uses ultra-processed nanofat to improve skin quality, soften hollowness, and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Dr. Bucky’s expertise in micronized fat grafting allows him to treat this highly sensitive area with exceptional precision. Nano Smooth for under eyes can be performed on its own or in combination with procedures such as lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or facial rejuvenation treatments for comprehensive, natural-looking results.

What Is Nano Smooth™ Fat to the Under Eyes?
Nano Smooth under eye treatment is a minimally invasive, regenerative procedure designed to improve the appearance and health of the lower eyelid skin. Using your body’s own fat—refined into a highly purified, nano-sized consistency—Dr. Bucky injects this smooth, cell-rich solution into the under-eye area.
Because the fat is processed into an ultra-fine consistency, it integrates seamlessly into thin under-eye skin without lumpiness or irregularities. In addition to subtle volume restoration, the treatment supports improved skin texture, tone, and resilience through regenerative cellular activity.
This technique is especially beneficial for addressing under-eye hollowness, crepey skin, and early signs of aging that may not be fully corrected with fillers or surgery alone.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Nano Smooth under eye fat grafting is typically performed using local anesthesia, though treatment plans may vary. The procedure includes:
- Fat Harvesting: Fat is gently removed from areas such as the abdomen or thighs
- Micronization Process: The fat is carefully purified and processed into ultra-fine nanofat
- Precision Injection: Dr. Bucky strategically places the nanofat beneath the under-eye skin using meticulous technique
Because the material is exceptionally refined, it allows for smooth placement in this delicate area with a high level of control and accuracy.
Recovery & Results
Following the Nano Smooth under eye treatment, patients may experience mild swelling or bruising around the eyes and donor site. These effects typically improve within several days to a week.
Thanks to the fine consistency of nanofat, the treatment is generally well tolerated, and recovery is often shorter and more comfortable than traditional fat grafting methods.
Early improvements may be visible as swelling resolves, with continued enhancement over time as the regenerative properties of the fat support healthier, more resilient skin. The result is a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, with a refreshed, well-rested appearance.
