Can upper eyelid fat grafting look this natural after just one week?

Upper eyelid fat grafting for a customer in her mid-40s

It had only been one week since the procedure... so little swelling and such a clear, soft impression that you might ask, "Was surgery really done?"

What method was used?

Fat grafting performed using a cannula method

A cannula is not a needle, but a round, flexible tube, allowing fat to be injected finely with almost no tissue damage. In particular, we are injecting with a customized cannula based on know-how that is not shared with just anyone. This patient was concerned about a hollow upper eyelid, which made her look tired and older, but with the right amount of volume added, her expression changed to one that looks more lively.

How was the recovery?

It is said that from the day after surgery, she was able to go about daily life without major discomfort. Swelling was present through day 3, but after one week she could even wear makeup and go out to gatherings! In a follow-up consultation, she said, "People around me like that it doesn't look obvious."

Why might recovery have been fast, though it varies by person?

The difference at Grace Plastic Surgery!

Fine adjustments in 0.01 cc units

A design plan that accurately understands the anatomical structure of the eyes

The know-how of Chief Director Choi Moon-seop with 24 years of experience

It's not simply about "putting in" fat.

Depending on where, how much, and how it is placed,

the recovery speed and the results also change.

Why does eye surgery in your 40s and 50s feel more difficult?

If you have a vague thought like, "At this age, why have eye surgery?" maybe it's because you're worried about things like your eyes looking sharper and your impression becoming harsher, or the surgery looking too obvious, or the double eyelid line becoming too thick and making your eyes look swollen, or functional side effects such as dry eyes or reduced vision. In fact, after your 40s, skin elasticity decreases and hollowness becomes more noticeable, so appropriately filling the volume above the eyes can make your impression look softer. Rather than a simple double-eyelid procedure, fat grafting that delicately designs the hollow area according to the anatomy of the eye is more natural and effective. Grace performs the procedure using a cannula method without incisions, so it adds volume only to the necessary areas in a natural way without looking like surgery. That is why, one week after surgery, daily life can resume and makeup can be worn comfortably. (However, results may vary depending on the surgery and the individual.) The same applies to worries that the double eyelid line may become thick and make the eyes look swollen. If the design is not excessive or inaccurate, fat grafting that precisely fills the hollow upper eye area actually creates a clear yet soft impression. At Grace, the grafting amount is adjusted in 0.01 cc units to create results that feel like "my real eyes, but looking younger." Because this is a method that adjusts the fat layer rather than forcing an aggressive double-eyelid surgery, there is less concern about affecting eye function, and Chief Director Choi Moon-seop, with 24 years of experience, personally performs the procedure while carefully handling pre- and post-operative consultations and checks, which helps reduce concerns about side effects. Eye surgery after your 40s is certainly possible. The important thing is how it is done.
