Why Eyelid Hollow Correction Can Be Trusted

The eyes are a very important organ that allows us to see. In addition, when it comes to appearance, the eyes are one of the features that determine a person’s image.

Today, we would like to take a look at the eyelids, which protect the eyes. The upper eyelid is also called the eyelid hollow area, and it refers to the skin covering the front part of the eyeball. By covering the eyeball, it protects the eyes from external irritation and light,  and it also helps distribute tears so that the cornea stays moist at all times.

Normally, the upper eyelid is considered to extend to the eyebrow as its boundary, while the lower eyelid does not have a clear boundary. The eyelids are lifted by the levator palpebrae superioris and the Müller muscle. However, this important upper eyelid can become sunken, and many people worry about this.

To improve this, many people look into eyelid hollow correction. Why does eyelid hollowing happen, and how should eyelid hollow correction be done?

  The most common reason for eyelid hollowing is usually aging.

As aging begins, wrinkles appear first in areas with frequent movement, such as around the eyes and mouth,

and this happens as facial fat decreases and volume is lost.

In younger people as well, eyelid hollowing can occur due to excessive dieting,

genetic reasons, and lifestyle habits such as rubbing the eyes frequently.

 

There are likely various reasons for wanting eyelid hollow correction.

Visually, it can make you look sleepy and older than you actually are,

but when the eyelid hollows, the strength that lifts the eyelids weakens, which can cause ptosis,

and because the function of distributing tears becomes more difficult, it can cause eye fatigue,

and in severe cases, it may lead to dry eyes.

That is why eyelid hollow correction is something that is best to have done.

Today, we would like to introduce eyelid volume up as a method of eyelid hollow correction.

  In the past, when trying to correct sunken eyelids, many people attempted correction through fillers or fat grafting.

First, eyelid hollow fillers had the advantage of a simple procedure and a short recovery period,

but they had drawbacks such as the possibility of adhesion, which could make the surface uneven, and a short duration of effect,

and if surgery was later performed, a dissolving or removal procedure would be needed.

In the case of fat grafting, there were also issues such as the possibility of adhesion and a relatively long recovery period,

as well as the fact that fat must be taken from another area and injected,

and because the eyelids are areas with frequent movement, the survival rate of the transferred fat is low,

it may require additional fat grafting, and

if revision surgery is performed, the previously grafted fat must be removed.

Considering these points, eyelid volume up overcomes these shortcomings and can provide more advanced results.

First, the principle of eyelid volume up is to correct eyelid hollowing by repositioning the fat hidden behind the eyebrows.

  Eyelid volume up removes the cause of sunken eyelids

and uses the fat behind the eyebrows, that is, the tissue around the orbit, as much as possible by repositioning it,

so there is no need to worry about hollowness caused by fat survival rates.

Also, as mentioned earlier, one of the reasons eyelid hollow correction is needed is ptosis,

and it can be improved together through eye shape correction without the need for a separate ptosis correction.

In addition, it can be improved with a single surgery without the need for additional procedures.

  Because the degree of eyelid hollowness differs from person to person,

it is necessary to proceed with a different method depending on each person’s situation in order to expect the desired results.

At our clinic, we perform different surgical methods depending on the degree of hollowing.

First, when the degree of hollowing is not severe,

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

When the hollowing is severe,

we perform ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, fat grafting, and fat injection.

In addition, depending on the condition, we also perform micro fat grafting and dermal fat grafting.

To achieve the desired results, finding a trustworthy medical team is also one of the points to consider.
