Prologue

Causes can include genetics, excessive fat removal from double eyelid surgery, or age-related fat loss in the eyelids.
Sunken eyelids not only create an aesthetically aged appearance, but can also cause discomfort when opening and closing the eyes. In such
cases, it can be naturally improved through eyelid fat repositioning and fat grafting. By delicately injecting just the necessary amount into the proper layer of the sunken
eyelid, bruising and swelling are minimized, and with a fast recovery time of about one week, highly satisfying results
can be achieved for sunken eyelids.

How?

Sunken Upper Eyelid Correction

How is the surgery performed?

Upper eyelid fat repositioning is performed to shift fat into the sunken area.
Afterward, the fat is secured in place so it does not migrate, and additional fat grafting using a MAFT-gun can be performed to restore volume to the eyelid.
Depending on the severity, volume can also be created with fat grafting alone.

Incision and Dissection

After making an incision in the eyelid,
the inner fat is dissected.

Filling the Sunken Area

The dissected fat is slid down
to fill the sunken area.

Fat Fixation

Cases Requiring Additional Fat Grafting

When orbital fat is minimal and results from repositioning alone are subtle

Sunken eyelids can be effectively improved by grafting additional fat.

Maft-Gun

Utilizing the MAFT-GUN

Micro-Fat Grafting

The MAFT-GUN is an ultra-precise micro fat grafting device capable of an injection volume as fine as 1/240 cc per shot,
and its effectiveness has already been verified in numerous papers published in renowned plastic surgery journals.
Because it is difficult to inject fat delicately when performing grafting by hand,
we use the MAFT-GUN to transplant fat in uniform and extremely small particles.
By injecting micro fat consistently and evenly across multiple layers of the skin,
side effects are minimized, and the engraftment rate is high.
