What Matters More Than ‘How Many cc’ in Eye Hole Fat Grafting?

Because of hollowing in the upper eyelid area, many people who look older or tired consider eye hole fat grafting to improve the volume above the eyes.

One of the most common questions at this time is, “How many cc do you usually graft?” However, what matters in fat grafting is not simply the volume (cc), but where, how, and how precisely it is grafted. The upper eyelid is a thin and delicate structure, so simply filling it with volume does not produce a natural result. When grafting fat above the eyes, the key is visible naturalness and stable survival over time without unevenness.

Why is the ‘layer’ more important than ‘how many cc’ in fat grafting?

At Grace Plastic Surgery, when fat is grafted above the eyes, a small amount of less than 1 cc is usually used. But even more important than that is the technique of placing the fat deep in the orbital fat layer rather than in the superficial layer (just under the skin).

• When fat is placed in the superficial layer

→ Over time, it can feel uneven or unnatural

→ The reabsorption rate is also high, so longevity is reduced

• When fat is grafted into the orbital fat layer

→ It settles naturally according to the skeletal and anatomical structure

→ It remains stable for a long time without unevenness

A “detail grafting” approach for the eye hole area. Dr. Choi Moon-seop of Grace Plastic Surgery does not approach eye hole fat grafting simply as a procedure to “fill hollow areas.” Based on anatomical structure, he performs precise dispersed injections in 0.1 cc units centered on the orbital fat layer, and designs the overall impression by considering the eye structure as well as the forehead and glabella lines.

In eye hole fat grafting, the ‘method’ matters more than the ‘amount.’

When improving upper-eye volume naturally and for a long time, the most important thing is not “how many cc were injected.” The real key is how finely and harmoniously the graft was placed in the anatomically correct layer. In particular, because the technique and experience required to stably graft into the orbital fat layer can vary greatly from one medical professional to another, it is best to choose your provider carefully.

Eye hole fat grafting is not a simple procedure, but a process of fine sculpting that changes the impression of the face. Understanding depth, designing the structure, and leaving a natural result behind—that is true skill.
