Side Effects of Eyelid Fat Grafting? One-Month Engraftment Period When Eyelid Correction Is Performed

Do you think all fat grafting above the eyes is the same?

Absolutely not.

Grace Plastic Surgery’s upper eyelid fat grafting is not a simple volume-filling procedure, but a customized solution based on an accurate diagnosis and careful design. In the case of eyelid fat grafting, temporary asymmetry, swelling, and bruising may appear during the process of the transplanted fat taking hold, and if the engraftment rate is low, partial hollowness may return. In particular, when eyelid correction is performed at the same time, tissue movement and recovery occur simultaneously, so the first month is considered an engraftment period while the fat settles in. During this period, swelling or changes in the line may occur, but over time it stabilizes and settles into a natural-looking eye shape. What matters most is an accurate diagnosis before surgery, delicate design, and systematic recovery management after surgery.

It starts with a different fat harvest

• Uniformly collect fat particles from the thighs, abdomen, and other areas

• Refine it and use it for grafting

• Improve engraftment rate and minimize foreign-body sensation

A personalized plan suited to your eye condition

• Analyze the hollow upper eyelid area

• The thickness of the hollow upper eyelid skin

• The condition of the eye-area muscles, and more, in a comprehensive way

• Precise planning for preventing ptosis and refining the double-eyelid line

• Inject only the appropriate amount at the exact points, not “more”

Creating a natural, defined eye shape

• Graft only the amount needed for the hollow upper eyelid area

• Results that are not excessive and do not feel unnatural

• A soft, harmonious impression is maintained even immediately after grafting

Director of Grace Plastic Surgery

Based on many years of clinical experience

We aim for natural and functional results while considering each patient’s facial structure and individuality. We design surgery so that not only appearance, but also eye function can be restored.

Can younger people undergo it too?

Because hollow upper eyelids can also be caused by genetic factors, there are many cases of people in their 20s and 30s receiving upper eyelid fat grafting. If the hollow eyes make the double-eyelid line unclear or cause ptosis, correction through fat grafting is recommended.

How many sessions are needed?

• Usually, one surgery is enough to achieve a satisfactory result.

• However, if the fat engraftment rate is low or the hollowness is severe

•  a second grafting procedure may be recommended.

• More important than the number of grafting sessions is how precisely the necessary amount is injected into the right location.
