Hollow upper eyelids are not simply a cosmetic concern.
In many cases, the appearance of sunken eyes is caused by volume loss, structural imbalance, or previous surgical changes that affect the upper eyelid.
This page presents real hollow upper eyelid cases treated at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery in Korea, focusing on structural restoration, volume balance, and long-term stability rather than temporary correction.
Each case reflects a tailored surgical approach based on the patient’s anatomy, emphasizing natural results without overcorrection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes hollow upper eyelids?
Hollow upper eyelids are commonly caused by volume loss, aging, or previous surgical changes that affect the natural structure of the eyelid. In some cases, excessive fat removal can also contribute to a sunken appearance.
Can hollow upper eyelids be corrected?
Yes, but the approach depends on the underlying cause. Structural volume restoration is often required rather than simple filling, especially in cases related to previous surgery or anatomical imbalance.
Is fat repositioning better than fillers for hollow eyes?
In many cases, fat repositioning provides more stable and natural results because it restores structural balance. Fillers may offer temporary improvement, but they do not address underlying anatomical issues.
Will hollow eyelid correction look natural?
When performed with a focus on structural balance and restraint, the results can appear natural and stable over time. Overcorrection should be avoided to prevent an unnatural or heavy appearance.
