2-Week Swelling Progress After Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting + Incisional Ptosis Correction in Your 40s

2-Week Follow-Up Review After Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting + Incisional Ptosis Correction in Your 40s

If you were worried about swelling, scars, or side effects, please refer to the before-and-after photos today. After your 40s, eyelid drooping and hollowing often progress together, making the double eyelid line look blurred and the overall impression appear tired. This case is a real example of a client who visited us to improve an unclear eye appearance caused by hollow upper eyelids and weak eye-opening strength.

• Procedure name: Upper eyelid fat grafting + incisional ptosis correction

• Procedure method: Muscle correction for eye opening through an incision + fat grafting

• Preoperative features:

• Flat-looking eyes due to hollow upper eyelids

• Weak double eyelid line and a tired impression

• Tired-looking eyes due to weak eye-opening strength

Before & After (Before surgery vs. 2 weeks after surgery)

Even though it is only the 2-week mark, the eye shape, opening strength, and restored upper volume have noticeably improved. The double eyelid line has also settled clearly, and the recovery is progressing naturally without excessive swelling or bruising.

2-Week Recovery Points After Eyelid Surgery

Concern about swelling: Because of the nature of eye surgery, swelling is present until the first week, but it is generally common for it to subside quickly starting in the second week. In this case as well, more than 80% of the swelling has currently resolved, and the patient is managing daily life without major inconvenience.

Incisional scar: With incisional ptosis correction, many people worry about scarring, but it naturally blends into the double eyelid line and, at the 2-week point, it is fading to the point that it is almost unnoticeable even when the eyes are closed.

Fat grafting side effects: With fat grafting, the survival rate can vary depending on the individual, but if it is grafted into the correct layer, it settles into a natural and soft volume without clumping. This client is also currently recovering into a natural state without any sense of discomfort when closing the eyes.

Eye surgery after your 40s is not just a simple double eyelid procedure. It requires a customized approach that comprehensively considers drooping, hollowing, and eye-opening strength. Combining upper eyelid fat grafting with incisional ptosis correction is a method that can improve function while also making the overall impression look clearer.

Recommended for:

• Those whose eyelids feel hollow and heavy, with drooping

• People in their 40s or older whose double eyelid line has become shallow and blurry

• Those who often hear that their eyes look tired

• Those who are concerned about an incisional method but want effective improvement
