When considering eyehole fat grafting, some people become anxious after hearing the explanation that “an incision is made in the eyelid area to insert fat.” However, eyehole fat grafting is performed without an incision, by injecting with a thin cannula.

Eyehole fat grafting is a procedure that fills in hollows like this, but the recovery process and level of burden can vary greatly depending on the method used. The biggest distinguishing feature of Grace Plastic Surgery’s eyehole fat grafting is that it is performed without an incision, using a cannula. In most cases, the eyehole appears sunken because the volume of the orbital fat layer deep inside the eye area, not just beneath the eyelid skin, has decreased. However, if this structure is not properly considered and fat is inserted by making an incision in the eyelid area and placing it just under the skin, several problems can arise. Because the layer directly under the skin is thin and highly mobile, the fat is difficult to settle evenly, and its outline may become visible when smiling or closing the eyes. The fat used in the procedure is selected from fat harvested from the thighs or abdomen, and only particles with a uniform size and the appropriate fat are used. By closely analyzing the structures around the eyes, a grafting plan is made after comprehensively considering the extent of the sunken eyehole, skin thickness, muscle movement, and eye shape. Rather than simply adding a large amount, where to place it, which layer to place it in, and how much to place all determine the result.

The grafting process is performed without an incision. Because fat is delicately injected only in the necessary amount into the orbital fat layer using a fine cannula, there is no need to cut the skin or suture it. As a result, there is no concern about scars, and bleeding or tissue damage is relatively minimal. The recovery period is also relatively short. Although there are individual differences, most people can return to daily life without significant swelling or bruising, and many say it hardly feels like they had surgery at all.

This is also why it places less burden on people who find it difficult to take a long recovery period in their busy daily lives. What matters in eyehole fat grafting is not simply filling the sunken area, but adjusting the overall impression of the eyes so that it looks natural. The goal is a result that is natural both when the eyes are closed and when they are open, without overdoing it but also without being insufficient. Eyehole fat grafting performed without an incision using a cannula is a choice worth considering for people who want to reduce recovery burden while gently and naturally improving the eye area to make it look more lively. If you are concerned that a sunken eyehole makes you look tired, we recommend confirming the method that suits you through a consultation that accurately understands the structure around the eyes and takes a delicate approach.

Due to the characteristics of the eye area, swelling or bruising may occur, but in most cases they gradually improve during the recovery process, with the goal of a natural improvement in the appearance of the eyes.
