Review of 1cc Eyelid Fat Grafting for Sunken Upper Eyelids (Mid-30s, 4 Months Post-op Swelling and Scarring)

Mid-30s | Eyelid Fat Grafting (1cc·1cc)

Non-incisional Ptosis Correction | 4-Month Review

This patient in her mid-30s also started hearing comments like, “Why do you look so tired?” so often that she became deeply concerned about her eye appearance. Her upper eyelids were gradually becoming sunken, her double eyelids were becoming faint and loosening, and her eyes looked smaller... The solution to that feeling that couldn’t be covered even with makeup was a combination of eyelid fat grafting (1cc·1cc) and non-incisional ptosis correction.

Eyelid fat grafting is a procedure where survival of the graft is the most important factor. At Grace Plastic Surgery, frozen fat is not used. They follow the principle of using only fresh fat. That is because, in fat grafting, how much survives is far more important than how much is injected. In this case, even though only 1cc was used on each side of the upper eyelids, by 4 months the hollowness had been softly filled in, the shadowing of the upper eyelids had improved, and the line that used to subtly collapse when applying makeup became more defined. Especially for a patient in her mid-30s like this one, whose skin is thin and has just started to show signs of aging, a subtle amount of volume creates a much more refined result.

This is the change that happens when non-incisional ptosis correction is added. If there is ptosis, simply filling the upper eyelids is not the whole answer. If the eyes are hollow, adding only fat can make them look heavy, so for this patient, doing it together with ptosis correction was the most harmonious approach. With non-incisional ptosis correction, the force used to open the eyes becomes stable, the natural double eyelid becomes clearer, the post-grafting shadow line appears more defined without heaviness, and that “sleepy-looking impression” quite literally disappears. A natural and defined eye line is one of Grace’s strongest points. What the patient wanted most during the consultation was eyes that looked effortlessly pretty. She did not want the obvious look of having had surgery, but rather wanted to look like someone whose eyes had always been naturally beautiful. The result at 4 months is as follows.

Grace’s eyelid fat grafting does not stop at the simple goal of “filling hollowness.” The final goal is a line that looks more natural as time passes, an eye contour that appears tasteful rather than excessive when light hits it, and a feeling that blends in naturally with facial expressions, like the eyes were always meant to look that way. The upper eyelid area is thinner and more delicate than other areas, so even small differences can change the entire impression. That is why it is important not to inject “a lot” of fat, but to place only what is needed, in the correct location, so it spreads gently. Experience that ties the overall balance of the eyes together as one design determines the quality of the result.

When these steps come together naturally, the result is not a look that says “I had surgery,” but a natural beauty that makes the eyes look like they were pretty from the beginning. This is why the result does not collapse over time and does not become unnaturally protruding even as time passes. The one thing Grace Plastic Surgery can confidently say is this: we do not create eyes that become pretty quickly; we create eye shapes that remain comfortable over time. That is the principle Grace has upheld, and true skill proven through countless before-and-after cases.
