Sunken Eye Correction, April 31 Eyelid Volume Up: Bring Sunken Eyes Back to Life

  Sunken eyes can make you look tired and older.

That is why people with sunken eyelids often worry a lot

because of the stress this causes.

Sunken-eye symptoms usually begin with changes such as

the area above the eyes appearing hollow or

the eyes looking sleepy, with double eyelids forming in two layers.

From around that point, you may start to have a tired-looking impression.

  There are many reasons why the eyelids become sunken.

Two representative reasons can be noted.

First, as people age, the body's structure and function decline,

and they go through aging, a phenomenon in which susceptibility to disease and death increases and the body weakens.

When looking at a person, we first look at the face,

so facial aging becomes noticeable.

One of the signs that signal the start of facial aging is

the sunken-eye phenomenon.

The skin around the eyes is about 0.04 mm thick,

making it one of the thinnest and most delicate areas of the face.

In addition, because sebaceous glands and sweat glands are less developed than in other areas,

it is the area where aging starts first on the face.

As people age and aging progresses, the skin sags and the fat layer decreases,

reducing volume and causing the eyelids to become sunken.

The second reason is excessive dieting.

As the saying goes, too much of a good thing is bad;

excessive dieting can bring about signs of aging in the body before creating a pretty body line,

and along with reduced skin elasticity, sagging, and changes in facial contours,

it can lead to sunken eyelids.

In addition, this can also occur in younger people

due to poor habits such as fatigue or rubbing the eyes,

as well as genetic factors.

  In the case of upper eyelid hollowness,

it is often caused by a lack of fat tissue,

but it can also be caused by contraction of the forehead muscles.

As a result, it becomes difficult to open the eyes,

and when sunken eyelids occur,

ptosis may be triggered.

Here, ptosis refers to a condition in which the upper eyelid droops and the eye opening becomes smaller,

that is, the eyes appear smaller because the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid up and down,

the levator muscle, becomes weak.

It means the upper eyelid is lowered, making it difficult to open the eyes normally.

Usually, people with ptosis tend to raise their forehead so that wrinkles form in order to lift the eyelids upward,

and when looking straight ahead, they tend to lift their chin upward.

Ptosis may not cause immediate discomfort,

but if left untreated for a long time,

there is a risk of amblyopia or astigmatism,

so it is best to treat it.

  Then how should sunken-eye correction be done?

In the past, many people used fat grafting or fillers to correct sunken eyes,

but with fat grafting, the retention rate is low, so it cannot be maintained for long,

and there is a possibility of becoming uneven due to adhesion,

and additional fat grafting may be needed or ptosis symptoms may become more severe.

If fat grafting or filler is injected and becomes uneven due to adhesion,

it must be removed,

but fat grafting and non-dissolving fillers can only be removed through surgery.

Even when hyaluronic acid fillers are used,

they must be removed with a dissolving injection,

so you may have had a lot of 고민 about where to get treatment.

For those of you who have been worrying like that,

I would definitely like to introduce the Eyelid Volume Up procedure we offer at our clinic.

  Eyelid Volume Up is one method of sunken-eye correction.

Unlike conventional fat grafting, in which fat is collected from another area of the body,

separated, and used to correct sunken eyes,

this method pulls fat down from a part called the orbit behind the eyebrow

and redistributes it to the hollow eyelid area.

It can also help improve ptosis that commonly occurs in sunken eyes

through eye shape correction.

Also, because no separate fat harvesting is required,

there is no issue with retention rate, and the maintenance period is relatively long.

  That is not the only reason Eyelid Volume Up is special.

Without additional surgery, improvement is possible with a single operation,

and because the surface is relatively smooth without unevenness,

you can be quite satisfied aesthetically as well.

  The degree of hollowness can vary from person to person.

At our clinic, we provide customized treatment according to the degree.

If the degree of hollowness is not severe,

we perform ptosis correction and surgery to advance and reposition the orbital fat.

If the degree of hollowness is severe,

we correct sunken eyes using ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, microfat grafting, and dermal fat grafting.

  At our clinic, Dr. Oh Won-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon dedicated to eye surgery,

personally handles every step one-on-one.

After identifying the current condition and structure of the eyes through imaging,

after consultation with the doctor to determine how Eyelid Volume Up will be performed,

he plans a suitable customized surgical plan

and takes charge of everything from surgery to recovery management.

  Among sunken-eye corrections, Eyelid Volume Up is a simple principle,

but if you want the process of cleanly separating and repositioning fat to go smoothly,

it is advisable to receive the procedure from an experienced medical team.

With Dr. Oh Won-seok's many years of clinical experience and various know-how from academic presentations,

you may be able to expect the results you want.
