Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting

Fat Grafting for Upper Eyelids

Many women feel self-conscious due to sunken eyes caused by a lack of upper eyelid fat, leading to sagging eyelids and a perpetually tired appearance. Currently, there are several methods to address this issue, notably upper eyelid fat grafting, which offers numerous benefits and helps restore a youthful and confident look.

What is upper eyelid fat grafting?

This technique involves using autologous fat to fill the upper eyelid hollows, correcting the appearance of sunken upper eyelids and creating a fuller, more youthful eye contour for women.

Autologous fat is derived from healthy fat cells taken from specific areas of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and undergoes a purification process before being grafted into the fat-deficient eye socket, ensuring high compatibility and maximum safety.
