Fat Grafting For under eye hollows post blepharoplasty

Michael Law, MD answers: What are the pros and cons of fat transfer under the eyes?

I've had lower blepharoplasty which has left my eyes looking a little hollow underneath. I'm thinking about getting a Facelift also. What are the pros and cons of getting a fat transfer for my under eyes to reduce the hollow look?

Structural fat grafting can be performed for filling sunken hollows under eyes , to fill sunken cheeks, to correct hollowed eyelids, and is often used for blepharoplasty correction when too much skin and or fat has been removed in an eyelid surgical procedure.

Fat Grafting requires specialized training and specialized surgical instruments, as well as patience and attention to detail on the part of the surgeon. When performed properly, permanent improvements are possible.
