Why Does Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting Look Bumpy When You Close Your Eyes?

Q. In what cases is eyelid fat grafting needed? As the upper eyelid area becomes more sunken, the overall impression can look tired and older. In particular, from the late 30s onward, the volume of the tissue above the eyes decreases rapidly, and in many cases the double eyelid fold does not form properly or the eye shape looks severe. By restoring volume to the upper eyelid naturally through fat grafting, the overall impression becomes much softer and more defined. In fact, in a case of a woman in her late 30s with significant hollowing, the impression before and after surgery changed completely.

Q. Where and how is the fat injected? Usually, a small amount of fat is collected from the thigh or abdomen, refined, and then directly grafted deep into the eye’s orbital fat layer. This area is much more stable for engraftment than simply filling the surface, and the transplanted fat spreads naturally without showing through. At Grace, this area is measured precisely and the procedure is performed according to each person’s eye anatomy.

Q. Is upper eyelid fat grafting a difficult procedure? It is not a procedure that works simply by adding fat. Only with technical skill that accurately understands the eye structure and allows adjustment at a micro level can it settle naturally without looking uneven. At Grace, under a safe system with a medical team that has worked together for more than 10 years, we have systematically prepared specialized instruments for fat grafting and settings that increase the engraftment rate.

Q. If the fat engrafts well, how long does it last? The engraftment rate varies from person to person, but if it is properly grafted into the correct layer, it often lasts semi-permanently. The important thing is not how long it lasts, but how naturally it is maintained, and I believe our clinic’s skill is well reflected in this.

Because the fat has engrafted evenly and naturally even when the eyes are closed, the grafted area does not look bumpy or swollen, and a natural upper eyelid line is maintained. At Grace, we do not place the fat superficially; instead, we graft it deeply and precisely according to the eye’s anatomy, completing a smooth and comfortable impression even when the eyes are closed.

True skill shows when the eyes are closed.

This is a case where the transplanted fat settled naturally without looking out of place. It is not just pretty on the surface; even when the eyes are closed, it is smooth and finished without unevenness. Grace Plastic Surgery aims for upper eyelid fat grafting that completes not only volume but also the details.
