Love band procedure is designed to mimic the youthfulness that
occurs naturally in skin just below the lower lashes.

Alloderm is artificial dermis extracted by
dermis layer from human's skin through
immunization.

unlike filler injection, Alloderm does not
get absorbed into skin.
Desired size and shape can be easily
customized.

outer lower eyelids.

love band would be created.

Love Band Procedure using Filler Injection - Filler is a substance injected to either skin or underneath subcutaneous
tissue to create volume. Injection with natural substance such as hyaluronic acid can create love band beneath eyes
enhancing youthful appearance.

■ Autologous Fat Graft

Love Band using Autologous Fat Grafting - Grafting excess fat from own thighs, hips, and abdomen is another
method to create love band, and also known for body contouring effect since the procedure grafts unnecessary
fat from your own body. BK Plastic Surgery Hospital has developed to increase survival rate of grafted fat cells to
enhance lasting period and results of the procedure.

procedure that it might cause lumps or over-absorption of fat due to misinjection, the procedure must be performed
by a specialist.

with IV sedation.
