Looking for others who had bumps under eyes after fat pad removal and how it resolved?

By Saint Paul4491 on 24 Sep 2011

About four years ago I had upper and lower eyelid surgery.  I was never quite satisfied with the left lower eye and 10 days ago had fat pad removal.  It is healing beautifully but I have a hard lump under my eye about a fourth inch from the suture line.  I have held warm compresses on it thinking this would help but I haven't noticed any significant change.Not sure if it is blood or fat that was missed. Others have asked similiar questions however I was wondering if any one out there could follow up and share how long this took to resolve and whether additional treatment was needed to remove the lump.?

Did this ever get better for you? Sorry I don't have any advice for you; unless it's just uneven fat left over, I haven't really heard of this happening.
