What Method Helps Maintain Volume Longer Than Eyelid Fat Grafting?

As people get older, the overall volume of the face, including the temples and cheeks, decreases, often creating a hollow and tired appearance. In particular, the eye area, where the skin is the thinnest on the face, is especially prone to loss of fat. For that reason, it is one of the areas many people worry about.

  The fat around the eyes surrounds the eyeball like a filler and is fixed to a membrane called the orbital septum.

When aging causes the orbital septum to loosen, the fat can sag, or

when the orbital septum is pushed inward and the bone line becomes visible,

it can create a tired, older-looking impression,

and it may even change the double eyelid line.

In addition, excessive dieting, genetic factors, and poor habits such as rubbing the eyes

can also cause the eyes to become hollow.

 

When the eyes become hollow, the strength used to open the eyes weakens, which can lead not only to eye fatigue

but also to dry eye syndrome and ptosis.

In the past, many people considered eyelid fat grafting to maintain and improve volume. In the case of eyelid fat grafting, fat was taken from areas with abundant fat such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks, then separated and injected into the hollow eyelids.

However, in this case, the survival rate was low, so more than 50% could settle within 1 to 2 months, and depending on the case, there was a high chance of adhesion. Because of this, additional eyelid fat grafting may be needed, adhesions may cause unevenness, ptosis correction may be required separately, and in some cases, ptosis may become more severe, which may have been a concern.

For those people, today I’d like to introduce Eyelid Volume Up, a method that helps maintain volume longer than eyelid fat grafting.

Eyelid Volume Up is another name for orbital fat repositioning of the eyelid. It refers to a method that pulls down the fat hidden behind the eyebrow and repositions it into the sunken eyelid area.

You may be wondering how Eyelid Volume Up helps maintain volume longer than eyelid fat grafting.

Eyelid Volume Up removes the cause of hollow eyes, and uses the fat tissue around the orbit as much as possible for repositioning, so it can be improved in one procedure without additional treatment, and the surface tends to be smooth without unevenness. It can also improve ptosis through eye-opening correction.

  Since the degree of hollowness differs from case to case,

it is important to proceed according to the degree.

If the degree of hollowness is not severe,

volume in the eyelid can be restored and a brighter eye shape can be achieved

by correcting ptosis and advancing and repositioning the orbital fat.

If the degree of hollowness is severe,

ptosis correction, orbital fat repositioning, fat grafting, and fat injection are needed.

In addition, depending on the condition, micro fat grafting and dermal fat may be used to add volume.

Eyelid Volume Up is based on a simple principle, but for the process of cleanly separating and repositioning the fat to go smoothly, it is advisable to receive treatment from an experienced medical team.
