15 Year Old - Fat Transfer for Dark Circles/Under Eye Hollows?

Thank you for your email. First, you are too young to have a cosmetic procedure. Your facial structure is not fully developed and any invasive procedure could have a negative effect on future growth and development.

I avoid injections into and around the eyelids in most cases of dark circles and hollow eyes.

Loss of injected fat and lumps are common problems with injections and the eyelid skin is so thin that lumps are quite visible.

I am also concerned about injury to delicate eyelid structures by repeated injections, especially when they are done by inexperienced physicians with no training in eyelid surgery.

Thank you for your question!  I suggest waiting until you are at least 18 years old for any cosmetic surgery.  You will have a very hard time finding a surgeon that will operate on you being so young.  Best of luck!Dr Dhaval Patel Double Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman EstatesOak Brook

you should see a boardcertified oculoplastic or plastic surgeon who has a great experience in correction of hollow lower eyelids. Fat injections may be very visible as unsightly lumps that could be hard to correct. You could have a treatment for a condition that you don't like, only to find out that you start seeing a mutitude of doctors who try to correct a poor result from a treatment. You may need your face to mature a few more years before a plastic surgeon is willing to operate. Occasionally, a filler such as Restylane might be tried, but nothing is risk-free.
