Introduction:
This post will discuss the 2 main ways men have deep-set eyes and the surgeries needed to achieve them within a reasonable budget. As well as why fat grafting is preferable.

Eye Aesthetics

When it comes to facial attractiveness, its no debate that the eye area is the most important element of the face. The features of the eye area that are extremely difficult / costly to change with surgery are the spacing, width : height, canthus length so I will not focus on them in this thread.

The features that are easier are the upper eye lid exposure show and under eye support. When approaching surgery its important to think of the actual underlying structure that causes the eye area to be good. I'd argue that brow ridge projection and a forward maxilla or large orbital fat pads are the aspects that will lead to low UEE + strong under eye support = better eye region and should be focused on most for surgery for optimal results.

I also don't think both are necessary for a good eye area which is why you should approach your weakest one when trying to minimise the amount of hardmaxxing you are looking to do.

Feminised brow ridge but amazing orbital fat:

Well projected brow ridge but average orbital fat:

While improving your bones is possible: lefort, brow ridge augmentation, orbital rim implants(these only fraud better maxilla projection, doesn't correct it) surgeries and procedures changing the skull are much more costly, risky and have longer recovery times than those adding or repositioning fat. This is why I will be going through with an under eye fat graft to improve my eye area despite also lacking bone support in the maxilla.

As can be seen my eye area is pretty subhuman currently. I've got severe darkening around the entire region. I've also got extremely bad under eye hollows and high UEE. While my lack of brow ridge projection and slight recessed maxilla don't help addressing them would be much harder (for reasons outlined before) compared to a fat grafting to my under eye region. While this will definitely correct the hollows, darkening and give the appearance of better support I'm unsure of the effects it will have on my eye area as a whole.

This is the part I need advice and thoughts on. I'm looking to get as much fat as possible and hopefully this will fill the region to the point it actually makes my width : height better due to the new fat pushing up against the skin. Will this give me the appearance of having deeper set eyes? Will the excess fat actually be able to change the appearance of my eye shape?

Given the cost disparity it makes sense to try fat first and have implants later if still dissatisfied.

There are studies showing under eye fat grafting reduced scleral show a little.

Op got severely recessed orbitals. I dont think fat grafting make even a little difference
