Nobody wants the appearance of eyebags under their eyes. Hollow or dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles are absolute terror. Under eye fat or the lack of it can create the appearance of hollowness or puffiness under the eyes, which can sometimes give the impression of tiredness or aging. A lot of people with this problem may feel self-conscious about their appearance because people may deem this characteristic unattractive. Thankfully, advanced medical technology paved the way for fats to be transferred from one part of the body to another. Through under eye fat grafting, the problem of hollow or puffy under eyes is solved. If you are someone who is struggling with this, Sketch PS is here to help you. We have helped hundreds of patients over the last 14 years of operation. We will cater to your needs and remove those bags for you.
What is Under Eye Fat Grafting?
Under eye fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into the area beneath the eyes to improve the appearance of hollows or dark circles. The procedure is sometimes referred to as a tear trough or eyelid rejuvenation.
The step-by-step procedure for under eye fat grafting goes as follows:
- The patient is anesthetized with local or general anesthesia. The surgeon will discuss the appropriate anesthesia option with the patient prior to the procedure.
- The surgeon will make a small incision in the donor site, which is typically an area with excess fat such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Using a cannula, the surgeon will remove the fats.
- The fat is then cleaned and processed to remove excess fluids, blood, and impurities by using a centrifuge.
- Your face is then cleaned, sterilized, and numbed to prepare for the fat transfer.
- The fat is gently injected into the under eye area using a thin needle
- The needle is injected at several points to even out the distribution. You may feel a slight sting, but it shouldn’t be too painful.
Before getting under eye fat grafting, the surgeon will typically conduct an initial assessment to evaluate the patient’s suitability for the procedure and determine the best course of treatment. You need to inform the surgeon about your past health history, any treatment you are taking if you are pregnant, and if you are smoking.
Why Do People Choose To Have Under Eye Fat Grafting?
Many people choose this procedure because it reduces the appearance of dark circles or hollows by adding volume to the area. The puffiness and eye bags are also reduced by balancing the number of fats and smoothening out the under eye area. It is also non-surgical, meaning under eye fat grafting can be an appealing option for people who want to address under eye concerns but are not interested or not ready for more invasive procedures like eyelid surgery. Under eye fat grafting can be a way to address a range of under eye concerns and help patients feel more confident and refreshed. It’s important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon and determine whether it is the right option for your needs and goals.
Who Is A Good Candidate for Under Eye Fat Grafting?
Anyone in good overall health condition with an under eye problem can get under eye fat grafting. Here is a list of people who are good candidates for the procedure:
- People with hollow or dark circles;
- People with puffy under eye or eye bags;
- People who have a good amount of fat and excess fat that can be extracted;
- People who want to look more youthful.
People who are pregnant and a smoker are not good candidates for this procedure.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients can expect to see the final results after six months. It is important to get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous physical activity for at least 2-3 weeks after the procedure to allow the body to heal. Patients may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications, herbal supplements, and alcohol for a certain period before and after the procedure, as they can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising. Pain medication may also be prescribed to manage any discomfort during the recovery period. Patients should avoid exposure to the sun and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect the treated area from UV rays.
It is important to follow the post-operative instructions given by the surgeon to allow for a faster and smoother recovery. Follow-up check-ups may also be needed for the surgeon to monitor the recovery. If you are experiencing any negative symptoms, it is important to contact your surgeon immediately.
