Under-Eye Dark Circles Fat Grafting in Pune

Common Types of Under-Eye Fat Grafting

1. Microfat

Microfat involves slightly larger fat particles and is used for moderate volume correction. It adds support and blends well with surrounding tissue.

2. Nanofat

Nanofat consists of emulsified fat rich in regenerative cells. It improves skin quality and reduces pigmentation. It is often combined with microfat for best results.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Under-Eye Fat Grafting?

• Have deep tear troughs or hollow under-eyes.
• Experience dark circles due to volume loss.

Benefits and Limitations of Under-Eye Fat Grafting

Advantages:

• Uses your own fat, so there is no risk of allergy.
  
• Improves under-eye contour and skin tone.
• Long-lasting results compared to fillers.
• Boosts collagen production through stem cells in fat.
• Enhances facial harmony and reduces tired appearance.

Considerations:

• Some fat absorption may occur within the first few months.
• Swelling and bruising are common initially.
• Final results take time to appear.
• Additional sessions may be needed in rare cases.

Recovery Time

• First 48 Hours: Mild swelling, bruising, and puffiness around the eyes. Apply cold compresses and keep the head elevated.
• Week 1: Swelling begins to reduce. Avoid touching or rubbing the area.
• Week 2-3: Most swelling resolves. Patients can return to work and daily routines.
• Week 4-6: Final fat retention becomes clear. Skin texture and tone improve.
• Month 3: The full result is visible with smoother under-eye contour.

Adhering to post-procedure care helps improve graft survival and recovery.

Cost of Under-Eye Fat Grafting

Under eye fat grafting cost in India varies depending on the surgeon’s experience, clinic setup, and whether other facial areas are treated. The average cost ranges from ₹30,000 – ₹80,000. A personalized estimate is provided during consultation.

This treatment is usually not covered by insurance as it is considered cosmetic.

Risks and Side Effects

Fat grafting is safe when performed by trained surgeons. Temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or minor lumpiness. Rare complications include infection or fat overfilling. Our team uses sterile techniques and precision tools to minimize these issues.
