Is it possible to soften one's deep set eyes with fat grafting (or other similar procedure)?

E
Elena96Oct 6, 2015

I'm 18 years old and have strong deep set eyes with big upper eyelid exposure. I was curious if any procedure (like fat grafting) could be performed on the upper part of the eye to - reduce the depth of the crease and the exposure of the upper eyelid, - make the skin under the eyebrow fuller, - fill in the hollowness above the inner corner of the eyes. I hope I was clear with the description of my problem. :)

I actually had a similar case years ago (web reference below). The patient - who had a large abdominal area, small buttocks, and narrow hips - expressed a desire to enhance both her buttocks and her hips.Liposuction alone can narrow the waist and make the hips appear to be wider, but fat...

It sounds like you are talking about buccal fat pad removal, usually performed through incisions inside the mouth. It is a fairly straight forward procedure, but indications are limited. Seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon in our area. Good luck!

No.The final result is seldom seen after three months.  Recent studies (and clinical experience) have demonstrated that the volume of transferred fat continues to stabilize and improve even after a year from the procedure.  The initial volume loss you see (e.g., the first few months)...

Hello! The national average cost for lower lid surgery is just under $3000, not including sedation and facility fees. Fat transfer is another $2000 or more. However, many surgeons would not advise fat transfer to the lower lids- the eyelid skin is the thinnest skin on the body and can show...
