It is known that a real function $f$ is convex if and only if the set $$\mathrm{E}(f)=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R};\ f(x)\leq y\},$$ the epigraph of $f$ is a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We state an extension of this result for operator convex functions and $C^*$-convex sets as well as operator log-convex functions and $C^*$-log-convex sets. Moreover, the $C^*$-convex hull of a Hermitian matrix has been represented in terms of its eigenvalues.
