Introduction
Eye area fat grafting is generally divided into three types: direct injection filling, nano-fat filling, and fat gel filling. The corresponding prices are: conventional fat filling, 3,000–7,000 yuan per session; nano-fat filling, 6,000–10,000 yuan per session; fat gel filling, 8,000–12,000 yuan per session.

Eye fat grafting procedures are generally categorized into three types: direct injection filling, nanofat grafting, and fat gel transplantation, with corresponding prices as follows: standard fat grafting costs 3,000–7,000 RMB per session; nanofat grafting costs 6,000–10,000 RMB per session; and fat gel transplantation costs 8,000–12,000 RMB per session. Factors influencing the cost of eye fat grafting include the treatment area, regional differences, and the surgeon's qualifications.

Principle

Fat is harvested via liposuction from areas of the body rich in fat and then directly injected into the targeted areas around the eyes using fine syringes after processing.

Nanofat particles are smaller and more uniform, allowing them to be injected through finer needles precisely into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue around the eyes.

Fat gel has high viscosity and structural support. Its main components—concentrated stem cells and extracellular matrix—are injected into the eye area to accurately fill depressed regions.

Suitable Candidates

Ideal for individuals with mild eye hollowing who require only a small amount of fat grafting to improve appearance.

Suitable for those with fine lines, mild skin laxity, and mild hollowing around the eyes.

Recommended for individuals with deep eye hollows, poor skin quality, and higher expectations for aesthetic outcomes.

Potential Risks

1. Uneven fat absorption
2. Risk of infection

1. Fat liquefaction
2. Allergic reactions

1. Uneven injection
2. Vascular embolism

Factors affecting pricing:

1. Treatment Area: Tear troughs are a common site for fat grafting around the eyes, with relatively simple procedures and smaller volume requirements. Orbital hollow filling requires more precise technique and therefore commands a higher price.

2. Regional Differences: High-quality medical resources are more concentrated in economically developed cities, where advanced equipment and technologies contribute to higher costs.

3. Surgeon Qualifications: Expert-level surgeons with extensive experience and expertise in eye fat grafting can deliver more reliable results, which typically results in higher service fees.

Eye fat grafting carries certain risks, including infection, uneven fat absorption, and vascular embolism. It is essential to choose accredited medical facilities and experienced surgeons to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.
