Sunken Eyes in Double Eyelid Surgery > Eye Plastic Surgery

Explanation of the symptoms of sunken eyes

Sunken eyes are a condition in which the upper eyelids lack fat,

making them look hollow,

and giving a more aged appearance,

while also making the eyes look smaller and tired.

Normally, the area from the eyebrows to the eyelashes is smoothly connected

and has natural volume,

but sunken eyes have many thin, deep wrinkles, which can also create a tired impression. In addition, if ptosis is present along with this condition, it can become difficult to open the eyes.

The need for surgery to address sunken eyes

Sunken eyes are not just an external issue;

they can also cause inconvenience in daily life.

When the eyes sink inward, the gaze may not look clear,

and opening the eyes can feel uncomfortable.

If these problems are left unresolved,

eye fatigue may continue,

and the face may give an older impression.

Therefore, surgery to correct sunken eyes

can help not only with cosmetic effects but also with functional improvement.

Solution

Explanation of eye-opening correction surgery

Eye-opening correction surgery is an operation that improves sagging of the eyelids or

structural issues.

In the case of sunken eyes,

surgery can adjust the skin and muscles around the eyes

to create a wider and more defined eye shape.

This helps with opening the eyes

and reduces eye fatigue.

Explanation of fat grafting

Fat grafting is a surgery that replenishes lacking volume,

and it restores volume in sunken eyes

by transplanting fat into the upper eyelid area.

It makes the eye shape look fuller and healthier,

and can also help soften deep wrinkles around the eyes.

Fat grafting uses the patient’s own fat,

providing a safer and more natural result.

Explanation of eye-opening correction surgery + fat grafting

A combined procedure of eye-opening correction surgery and fat grafting

can improve sunken eyes more effectively.

By addressing structural issues with eye-opening correction surgery

and filling in the lacking volume with fat grafting,

a more natural and healthy eye shape can be created.

When these two methods are performed together,

a more comprehensive improvement can be expected.

Postoperative care

Postoperative care is important.

After eye surgery, swelling and bruising may occur,

and to reduce them, proper cold compresses and medication are needed.

In addition, care should be taken not to touch the surgical area,

and it is important to protect the skin around the eyes

by using sunscreen.

For a certain period after surgery, strenuous exercise or physical activity should be avoided.

A word from Director Ahn Byung-jun

Sunken eyes and double eyelid surgery: the key to addressing the cause

Sunken eyes appear hollow because of a lack of fat in the upper eyelids

and make the face look older.

To address this problem,

eye-opening correction surgery and fat grafting are essential.

Eye-opening correction surgery improves structural issues of the eyes,

and fat grafting replenishes the lacking volume,

allowing a natural and fuller eye shape to be completed.

Double eyelid surgery alone cannot fully solve the problem of sunken eyes,

so additional procedures are necessary.

Proper care after surgery and help from a specialist are important.

Why surgery should be performed by a specialist medical team

Surgery to correct sunken eyes

requires high precision and delicate technique.

Specialized medical staff, based on anatomical knowledge and experience,

can accurately analyze each person’s eye condition

and establish the optimal surgical plan.

Professional care is needed to reduce

possible complications or side effects after surgery.

Therefore, receiving surgery from an experienced specialist

is an important factor in achieving safe and satisfactory results.

A guide to eye plastic surgery - Director Ahn Byung-jun

I have focused only on eye plastic surgery

for 25 years.

Now, I feel like I know a little about plastic surgery,

and I say that there is no doctor who is equally good at everything,

including eyes, nose, and breast surgery.

To truly understand one field over a lifetime,

experience must accumulate over many, many years.
