In Your Mid-20s, If You Have Ptosis Before and After Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting, Is Eye Correction Essential?

Grace Plastic Surgery Before & After

Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting Case in a Woman in Her Mid-20s

This case involved a female patient in her mid-20s who complained that her eyes looked sunken and tired due to volume loss in the upper eyelids. In particular, during the consultation, mild ptosis was observed, and she was informed that eye correction surgery could be considered together later if needed.

Eye correction was not performed, and the procedure was done with upper eyelid fat grafting alone. From immediately after surgery, as the hollow area in the upper eyelid was filled, a clearer impression was achieved and the tired appearance was noticeably improved. In particular, the fat was purified through a refinement process, using only pure fat with a high survival rate, and a natural volume and contour were achieved through even injection that considered the anatomical layer. However, the patient showed mild ptosis (reduced levator muscle function), so her ability to open her eyes was not sufficient. Therefore, for stable long-term results, if eye correction surgery is performed later, more favorable outcomes can be expected in both functional and aesthetic aspects. In this way, improvement is possible with upper eyelid fat grafting alone, but it is important to accurately evaluate each individual’s eye muscle function and consider additional eye correction when necessary.

Surgical Method

A small amount of fat was harvested from the abdomen, then impurities were removed to refine only pure fat with a high survival rate.

The appropriate depth and amount were injected according to a customized design for the sunken upper eyelid area.

Natural volume and symmetry were restored through delicate layer-by-layer injection.

Changes After Surgery

As the hollowing of the upper eyelid improved, a clearer eye contour was restored.

The tired-looking impression changed to a brighter and softer appearance.

As the natural line was brought back, overall harmony also improved.

Medical Considerations

This case was accompanied by ptosis, so eye correction surgery may be needed in the future.

Surgical results may vary depending on the individual’s condition.

Some side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, bruising, and scarring may occur.

It is recommended to proceed after sufficient consultation and a detailed diagnosis before treatment.
