Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting in Korea
Achieve Brighter, More Youthful-Looking Eyes
What is Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting?
Sunken, hollow upper eyelids can make you appear tired and older, while also making the brow bone appear more prominent, resulting in a harsher facial impression. Upper eyelid fat grafting uses purified autologous fat to restore volume to the upper eyelid fat compartment, creating brighter, fuller, and more youthful-looking eyes.

Facial Fat Grafting: Enhanced Precision with a Micro-Cannula
Because the upper eyelids are located close to the eyes and contain a dense network of nerves and blood vessels, upper eyelid fat grafting requires careful evaluation and highly refined surgical technique.
To achieve smooth, natural-looking eyelid contours, it is essential to distribute the fat evenly throughout the upper eyelid area. At LABOM Plastic Surgery, the amount of purified autologous fat is meticulously adjusted according to each patient’s skin condition, degree of volume loss, and eyelid symmetry, ensuring balanced, natural, and long-lasting results.
