Sunken eye sockets after full double eyelid surgery

The purpose of having double eyelids is to be more beautiful, but some women find that their eye sockets become sunken after having full-eyelid surgery. In fact, apart from the influence of lifestyle habits, the main factor causing sunken eye sockets is the atrophy of fat in the eye sockets. During double eyelid surgery, it is easy to cause too much fat to be removed, which will naturally cause unnatural sunken eye sockets.

Why does double eyelid surgery cause sunken eye sockets?

This is because the doctor removes too much muscle and fat tissue during the operation, resulting in postoperative defects and depressions. In some people, the doctor's rough technique causes scar adhesion and eye socket depression.

How to improve sunken eye sockets caused by failed double eyelid surgery?

If it is determined that the sunken eye sockets are caused by excessive tissue removal, then they can be filled with autologous fat, dermis, free fat flaps, muscle flaps and other materials to effectively solve the problem of sunken eye sockets.

If it is not because too much tissue was removed, then it is because the position of the double eyelid line is too high, causing adhesion and sunken eye sockets. New surgery is needed to loosen the adhesion and the double eyelid line is too high.

How long can autologous fat filling of sunken eye sockets last?

Once the injected fat survives, the effect is generally permanent. However, not every injected fat will survive 100%. The inactivated cells will be absorbed by the human body. Therefore, in this case, it will be necessary to inject the fat again after 3-6 months.

"Doctor, can I fill in more at one time?" No! The principle of fat filling is "small amounts and multiple times". If too much fat is injected at one time, the fat will not have enough blood supply and will not survive.

Warm reminder: If it is other types of sunken eye sockets, such as congenital or aging sunken eye sockets, this method can be used to fill and improve them. However, the specific method of treating sunken eye sockets varies according to the different conditions of each person's eye sockets, and a face-to-face consultation is required to decide.
