Fat transfer to the upper eyelids - is this not a commonly performed procedure?

Fat grafting to the upper eyelids can be effective, but it’s not a routinely performed procedure. The upper eyelid skin is thin and highly mobile, so even a small amount of excess fat can cause irregularities or puffiness.
Here are a few key points:• The technique requires extreme precision, often using micro-fat or nanofat injection under magnification.• Many surgeons reserve it for selected cases where volume loss is clear but skin elasticity remains good.• In some patients, a hyaluronic acid filler can be a safer first step since it is reversible and easier to fine-tune.• The best results are achieved by a plastic or oculoplastic surgeon experienced specifically in periorbital rejuvenation.
A skilled plastic surgeoncan olso handle this procedure but you should look for one with targeted expertise in this area.
