How to Safely Correct Sunken Eyes with Fat Grafting: Eyelid Volume Up!!

Because external appearance is the first factor people use to judge someone when they meet them for the first time, more and more people are making an effort to care for their appearance in order to leave a good impression. Having a neat and likable impression requires considering many different factors, so many people worry about this.

Among them, the eyes are especially important because people look at the eyes while talking, to the extent that they are called the windows to the soul. A person’s image is largely determined by the eyes, and sunken eyes in particular can give an impression of being tired and older than one actually is, so many people are looking for ways to correct sunken eyes.

  For those looking for how to safely correct sunken eyes with fat grafting,

there are various reasons people experience hollowing around the eyes.

First of all, the most common reason people worry about this is that subcutaneous fat decreases due to aging.

As people get older, fat throughout the body is lost, so even unwanted areas lose volume, which reduces fullness.  Because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest skin on the face, it is especially prone to hollowing, so many people inquire about corrective methods for age-related sunken eyes.

When relatively young people want to correct sunken eyes, many experience this after excessive dieting in an effort to create a slim body.

In addition, sunken areas around the eyes can occur due to genetic factors, or due to the habit of repeatedly rubbing the eyes.

 

Sunken eyes not only make a person look tired and older, but may also cause eye fatigue, dry eye, and ptosis. Among these, ptosis refers to the condition in which the upper eyelid droops because the muscle that lifts and lowers the eyelid becomes weak.

When the eyelid droops, the upper field of vision is covered, so you have to make an effort to open your eyes when looking at things, which quickly makes you feel tired. It can also lead to complications such as sleeping with the eyes open or a difference in eye level when looking downward, so correction is necessary.

  The most commonly used methods for correcting sunken eyes were fat grafting or fillers for hollow eyes.

Among them, if you were considering how to safely correct sunken eyes with fat grafting, you may have looked into fat grafting extensively.

First, although filler for hollow eyes is simple in terms of procedure, it has a short duration, may cause adhesion, and if you need another treatment later, you had to dissolve or remove it before undergoing the procedure again, so many people likely considered fat grafting instead.

In the case of fat grafting for sunken eye correction, fat is taken from areas with abundant fat such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, separated, and injected into the sunken eyelid area. Because it is harvested from another area and injected, the fat survival rate had a major effect on how long the results lasted.

Since the eyelids are a highly mobile area, the survival rate is low, so more than 50% may sink again within 1 to 2 months, and in some cases there is a high possibility of adhesion, additional fat grafting may be needed, and ptosis symptoms may become more severe. Because of this, many people likely wanted to learn about how to safely perform fat grafting or how to safely correct sunken eyes, and today we would like to introduce Eyelid Volume Up to those people.

Eyelid Volume Up refers to a method that removes the cause of sunken eyes and uses the fat tissue around the orbit as much as possible by repositioning it.

You may then wonder what the fat tissue around the orbit is. The fat tissue around the orbit refers to the fat hidden behind the eyebrow. You can feel it when you pinch your eyebrow with two fingers.

Because this method pulls down the fat hidden behind the eyebrow and repositions it in the sunken eyelid area, you do not need to worry about reduction from fat survival rate, and the recovery period is relatively short. In addition, improvement is possible with just one surgery without any additional procedures, and the surface is relatively even without bumps.

Traditional fat grafting or fillers also required additional correction for ptosis, but Eyelid Volume Up can improve ptosis through eye shape correction as well.

  Correcting sunken eyes with the appropriate method according to the condition of the eyes is one of the key points in creating the atmosphere you want.

At our clinic, we provide customized surgery depending on the degree of hollowing.

First, when the degree of hollowing is not severe, we restore volume to the eyelid and create a refreshed eye shape through ptosis correction and orbital fat advancement.

When the degree of hollowing is severe, ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, fat grafting, and fat injection are needed. Depending on the condition, we provide volume using micro fat grafting and dermal fat grafting.

  In addition, the skill of a trustworthy medical team is also an important point in obtaining the desired results later on.

At our clinic, Director Oh Won-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon dedicated to eye surgery, can help you look forward to the results you want based on accumulated know-how from extensive clinical experience and presentations at academic conferences.
