Under-Eye Fat Repositioning & Eyelid Fat Grafting: Double the Swelling? Before and After 1 Week

As we age, there are two common eye-area concerns. Under the eyes, fat can bulge outward and easily create dark circles and a tired appearance. The upper eyelids can become sunken, causing the double-eyelid line to collapse and making the face look older. That is why the surgeries needed are under-eye fat repositioning and upper-eyelid fat grafting.

Under-eye fat repositioning

• This is a method that does not simply remove protruding fat, but naturally corrects the area by evenly repositioning it to sunken areas.

• It is effective for reducing dark circles and creating a more youthful impression.

Upper-eyelid fat grafting

• This is a procedure that injects a small amount of fat into a sunken upper eyelid to create a more lively eye area.

• The key is to fill it naturally without overfilling.

Before & After

Why is hollow-eye fat grafting necessary?

If the eyelids look sunken, it is not just a matter of lacking volume. The double-eyelid line can collapse, and the eyes can appear tired or older. The procedure commonly called hollow-eye fat grafting is the process of smoothly filling these sunken areas to create a clear, lively eye area. Even younger people often have naturally sunken upper eyelids, so hollow-eye fat grafting may be necessary. If the area is not properly filled with fat, the double-eyelid line may not form well, making the eyes look heavy, almost like ptosis.

Procedure process and customized planning

• Fat collection: Harvest uniform fat particles from the thighs, abdomen, etc., and extract only pure fat

• Customized plan: Plan after checking the hollow area, shape, muscles, and skin

• Grafting process: Inject only an appropriate amount into the sunken hollow eye area

How many rounds of upper-eyelid fat grafting are needed? In most cases, one grafting session is enough to achieve a satisfying result. However, if fat retention is low or the hollowness is severe, a second grafting session may be performed. What matters most is accurately diagnosing your hollow-eye condition and having the skill to inject the right amount in the right place. As for side effects and precautions, hollow-eye fat grafting is a relatively safe procedure, but like other treatments, side effects such as swelling and asymmetry can occur. Rarely, excessive fat injection may create unnecessary fullness. That is why a careful diagnosis and procedure by an experienced specialist are most important. Based on decades of clinical experience, Director Choi Moon-seop pursues natural hollow-eye design that considers not just volume filling, but also the structure and individuality of the eyes. In addition, the goal is to help restore eye function as well, so that patients can return to a comfortable daily life.
