Having sunken upper eyelids does not mean that you should simply fill them with fat. The eyelid is not a structure made only of skin and fat; it is a very thin and complex structure connected to the force that opens the eyes. In particular, the levator aponeurosis that transmits the force of opening the eyes, along with the surrounding structures, is directly related to the double-eyelid line, the height of the eye shape, and the strength of eye opening, so the location and depth of fat placement are very important.

If fat is injected too deeply or into a location that interferes with the structures that transmit the force of opening the eyes, the double eyelids may look heavy, the eye-opening strength may seem weak, and the eyes may appear strained. That is why eyelid fat grafting is not simply a procedure to add volume; it is important to precisely distinguish the layers that do not interfere with the eye-opening structure and inject small amounts in divided portions. The reason a natural and clear eye shape is maintained after upper eyelid fat grafting depends not simply on the amount of fat, but on designing the injection site with consideration for the eye-opening force and double-eyelid structure.

In cases where the eyelids are thin, have many wrinkles, or have sunken upper eyelids, rather than injecting a large amount of fat, a method that disperses small amounts only into the necessary areas while considering the eye structure can reduce side effects and increase retention time and graft survival rate. Upper eyelid fat grafting is closer to a procedure that redesigns the eye shape than one that simply creates volume, so rather than a method that injects a large amount, understanding the eye-opening force and eyelid structure and performing the procedure accordingly can make a difference in the results.

When the upper eyelids are sunken, they may look tired or give a stronger impression than your actual age. The eyelid is not a structure made only of skin and fat; it is a very thin and complex structure connected to the force that opens the eyes, so rather than simply adding a large amount of fat, it is important to consider the eyelid structure and eye-opening force and inject small amounts into the appropriate layers. Eyelid fat grafting is closer to a procedure that improves both the structure and impression of the eye shape, so the naturalness of the result and the duration of maintenance may vary depending on the injection site and depth.

When deciding on surgery, I believe the most important thing is actual before-and-after photos, not advertisements or words. Upper eyelid fat grafting is not simply a procedure to add volume; the naturalness of the result can vary depending on the eyelid structure, the eye-opening force, and the location and depth of fat injection, so it is important to compare the result photos carefully. As you look through the before-and-after photos at your own pace, first check what direction of eye-shape change you want, and then it is best to receive an explanation during a consultation about the method that fits your eye condition. There is no need to rush. Please take enough time to look through the before-and-after photos and feel free to come in for a consultation. We will explain it through the results.
