A More Effective Way to Restore Sunken Eyes Than Finding the Best Place for Eye Fat Grafting!!

 

As the end of the year approaches, you may feel even more strongly that another year is passing.

When we are young, we often think we want to grow up quickly, but now aging can feel frightening.

Although we cannot stop our age from increasing, we can prevent the signs of aging from appearing.

Many people are making efforts to do exactly that.

As signs of aging begin to appear, the most noticeable changes are inevitably external,

especially those that show on the face.

Not only does the skin sag, but wrinkles appear and teeth become less healthy, among other problems,

but because we look at people’s eyes when speaking with them, the area that shows the biggest difference is the eyes.

As aging progresses, the eyes can become sunken,

and more and more people are looking for the best place for eye fat grafting to improve this.

So why does this sunken-eye condition, which makes you look older than you are, happen?

  The main reason most people look for the best place for eye fat grafting is

the sunken-eye condition caused by the aging process mentioned earlier.

As aging progresses, subcutaneous fat decreases,

causing volume loss even in areas where you do not want it.

In the face, the eye area is where the skin is thinnest,

and because it is also a highly mobile area, sunken eyes are often experienced.

In addition, some people develop sunken eyes even at a relatively young age.

In such cases, excessive weight control for a slim body can cause fat loss even in unwanted areas,

which is one reason the upper eyelid loses volume.

There are also cases where the upper eyelid becomes sunken due to habits such as rubbing the eyes,

or due to genetic factors.

 

When the upper eyelid loses volume and the eyes look deeply sunken, this is called enophthalmos.

Enophthalmos not only creates an appearance that looks tired and older than it really is,

but can also cause functional problems.

Because enophthalmos makes it difficult to open the eyes, it can lead to ptosis,

and it may also cause eye fatigue and dry eye syndrome.

For this reason, sunken eyes are an area that needs correction.

  In the past, many people who wanted to correct upper eyelid hollowness

likely searched for the best place for eye fat grafting or the best place for eye filler.

Among these, fat grafting is commonly used as a procedure to correct sunken eyes.

It involved collecting fat from areas with a lot of fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks,

then separating it and injecting it into the sunken eyelids.

As mentioned earlier, the eyelids are a highly mobile area.

Because of this, the survival rate of grafted fat is low,

so more than 50% can deflate within 1 to 2 months,

and there was a high possibility of adhesion that made the surface uneven.

In addition, ptosis that could be caused by enophthalmos had to be corrected separately,

and in some cases the ptosis symptoms could worsen,

so even if people were looking for the best place for eye fat grafting, they likely had many concerns.

Today, for those who were wandering in search of the best place for eye fat grafting,

we would like to introduce eyelid volume-up.

Eyelid volume-up is a nickname for an upgraded eyelid orbital fat repositioning surgery compared with fat grafting.

Eyelid volume-up refers to a method that pulls down the fat around the orbit

and repositions it into the sunken eyelid area.

In other words, it is a method that restores volume to the eyelid

by repositioning the fat hidden behind the brow into the sunken eyelid.

So you may be wondering why eyelid volume-up is said to be an upgraded method compared with fat grafting.

Eyelid volume-up removes the cause of the sunken eyes and makes the most of the fat tissue around the orbit by repositioning it.

Because it does not involve collecting fat from another area and injecting it, there is no deflation due to graft survival rate.

It can also improve the condition with just one surgery, without additional procedures, and the surface tends to remain even without irregular bumps.

In addition, ptosis that can occur due to sunken eyes can be improved with eye shape correction.

  Eyelid volume-up is performed as a customized surgery depending on the degree of eyelid hollowness.

First, when the degree of hollowing is not severe, the eyelid hollowness is improved

with only ptosis correction and surgery to advance and reposition the orbital fat,

completing a refreshed eye shape.

When the degree of hollowing is severe, ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, fat grafting, and fat injection are performed.

In addition, depending on the condition, volume is added using microfat grafting and dermal-fat grafting.

It is difficult to determine the degree of eyelid hollowness visually alone,

so at our clinic we assess the current condition and structure through imaging.

 

In addition, Director Oh Won-seok, a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in eye surgery,

restores volume to the upper eyelid and makes the eye area look younger through 1:1 consultations, customized surgery, and recovery care.
