What Is a More Effective Way to Improve Volume Than Eyelid Fat Grafting?

As human beings are social animals, we live alongside other people. Because of that, we inevitably think about the image we present to others. One of the biggest things people pay attention to is appearance. When we first meet someone, the first thing we notice is their appearance, and because it is difficult to know their inner qualities at first glance, we tend to think about this even more.

Among the external features that shape our image, many people want a youthful appearance that makes them look younger than their actual age. There are many elements that can make someone look youthful. Plump cheeks, a full forehead, and various other features can all contribute, but among them, one easily overlooked factor that has a major impact is eyelid volume.

When the volume of the eyelids decreases, it can create a tired and aged impression, so many people look into eyelid fat grafting to improve it.

So, what exactly causes the upper eyelid area to become sunken? First, it is due to the aging process. As people get older, the skin sags and the fat layer decreases, and during this process, the subcutaneous fat around the eyes, where the skin on the face is thinnest, becomes reduced. In addition, even at a relatively young age, causes of sunken eyelids can include excessive dieting and bad habits such as rubbing the eyes.

As mentioned, sunken eyelids not only make you look tired and older, but can also functionally weaken the force used to open the eyes, which may cause eye fatigue, dry eye syndrome, and ptosis, so improvement is necessary.

For people like this, today we would like to introduce 4.31’s Eyelid Volume Up.

Eyelid Volume Up is a method that pulls down the fat hidden behind the eyebrows and repositions it into the sunken eyelid area.

You may wonder how volume can be added without harvesting and injecting fat into an eyelid that is sunken because it lacks fat.

When you pinch the area above and below the eyebrows with two fingers, you can feel the hidden fat.

You may be wondering why, even though eyelid fat grafting comes to mind, we recommend Eyelid Volume Up as a way to improve volume.

Traditional eyelid fat grafting involved harvesting 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.

Eyelid fat grafting had a low survival rate, so more than 50% could decrease within 1 to 2 months, and depending on the case, it was also a method with a high possibility of adhesion.

Eyelid fat grafting may require additional fat grafting, and it can become uneven due to adhesions.

In addition, in some cases, ptosis symptoms could become more severe, or ptosis correction might be needed separately.

For these reasons, you may have been considering this option carefully.

Eyelid Volume Up removes the cause of sunken eyes and makes the most of the fatty tissue around the orbit by repositioning it.

Because Eyelid Volume Up does not involve harvesting and injecting fat, there is no need to worry about volume loss due to survival rate issues, and improvement is possible with just one surgery without additional procedures.

It is also a method that can improve ptosis through eye-opening correction while keeping the surface smooth and free of unevenness.

At our clinic, we improve each case according to the degree of eyelid hollowness with a customized approach, creating a precise and natural-looking eyelid line.

If the degree of hollowness is not severe, ptosis correction and simple advancement and repositioning of the orbital fat alone can restore eyelid volume and create a refreshed eye shape.

If the hollowness is severe, ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, fat grafting, and fat injection may be needed.

Depending on the condition, we also provide volume using micro fat grafting and dermal fat grafting.

Eyelid Volume Up is a simple concept, but for the process of cleanly separating and repositioning the fat to proceed smoothly, it is advisable to visit an experienced medical team with a wealth of accumulated know-how.
