[Lari Plastic Surgery] Removing Double Eyelids and Correcting Sunken Upper Eyelids (Roof Fat Grafting)

A smooth eyelid is an important part of beautiful eyes.

However, all of us have at least a little bit of puffiness or hollowness in the upper eyelid area.

If this is mild enough not to be bothersome, it is not really an issue,

but if it looks noticeably puffy or sunken to the point that it appears unattractive, it is hard not to worry about it.

The upper eyelid area consists of two types of fat.

If it is inside the septum, it is orbital fat (septal fat); if it is outside the septum, it is roof fat.

The upper eyelid fat we usually know refers to orbital fat,

and the fat that is removed when people say, “I had double eyelid surgery and they took out some fat because there was a lot in the eyelids,” is orbital fat.

Roof fat is called roof fat because it is located on the outer side of the eye structure, in the roof area.

In cases like this person’s, where the upper eyelid looks sunken and hollow, it is because there is not much roof fat.

If double eyelids are removed in such eyes, the hollowing of the eyelid becomes even more pronounced.

Therefore, if roof fat grafting is performed at the same time as removing the double eyelids,

as the double eyelid disappears, the sunken appearance of the eyelid also improves.

Compared with before surgery, you can see a clean eye without double eyelids and a smoother upper eyelid after surgery.

Upper eyelid hollowness is more visible from angled views than from the front, because shadows are cast more clearly there.

Before surgery, the uneven contour was severe, creating a clear difference in shading,

but after removing the double eyelids and performing roof fat grafting together, the hollowing was reduced and the improvement is clearly visible.

In addition, while removing the double eyelids, the scar from the previous double eyelid surgery was also removed,

and the double eyelid line that used to look pinched like a sausage when looking downward

was neatly removed, giving the benefit of two or even three results at once!
